The fact that José Ignacio is South America's most exclusive beach town doesn't mean there's no room for travellers on a normal budget — Wanderlust proves it with its hostel & suites formula 500 metres from Playa Mansa. There are 23 rooms in different configurations — for groups, couples, families or solo travellers — all with air conditioning, plus a shared kitchen, barbecue areas, a terrace and a big dining room where community happens naturally.

The spirit is social and active: surf, kite and SUP lessons, bike outings, board games, ping pong and music. Breakfast is included, and the location puts everything that matters in the village within walking distance. Perfect for surfers, young travellers and anyone who wants to live José Ignacio without paying luxury-hotel rates. The best price-to-location ratio in the area.
