Hostel Geriba

Aramacao dos Buzios is often referred to as the St. Tropez of South America. With 23 beaches, crystalline waters and amazing natural beauty, it’s easy to see why Buzios is one of the top destinations in all of Brazil. Brigitte Bardot was one the first of the jet-setters to find this paradise, and from then on the list of the rich and famous that frequent Buzios is endless. If it’s not nature your after, then the world class night life might be more your speed, with all-night dance clubs like Pasha, Privelege and Zapata, along with hundreds of other bars and restaurants to choose from.

Hostel Geriba is located on the shore of Lake Geriba in a tranquil setting just 500 meters from the largest, most popular beach in Buzios for surfers and sunbathers alike. Apart from being close to Geriba Beach, we are ideally situated next to restaurants, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies and easy transportation. We have 4 private suites and 2 large dormitories (masculine and feminine) for groups and solo travelers. The house itself is spacious and inviting with several areas for conversation, watching TV, or relaxing in a hammock while watching the sun set along the lake. You are invited to use our spacious kitchen to prepare your own meals, and we also provide WiFi internet service for a small fee. Free one-time daily transport is available to the center of Buzios, yet from our hostel getting anywhere in Buzios is cheap and easy.


Once here, we would be glad to help you plan your stay in Buzios. With so many things to choose from it’s important to plan your stay wisely. Boat trips, city tours, surfing, fishing, scuba, golf and horseback riding are just a few of the possibilies, yet in Brazil it’s important to book these with someone you trust!
