Escape to the Racing Mackerel Hostel, a peaceful oasis right in the heart of Lagos! Just a leisurely 20-minute stroll away, you’ll find the stunning beaches of Dona Ana, Batata, Estudantes, and Pinhão waiting for your footprints in the sand. Plus, enjoy complimentary WiFi all over the property to keep you connected!

We offer a variety of accommodations, including 2 mixed dormitories and 2 gender-specific options. If you’re leaning towards more privacy, we’ve got cozy double rooms with shared bathroom facilities that feel just like home. Each room is bright and airy, complete with black-out shutters and lovely decor that pays homage to Portugal's affection for fish.

Nestled within the medieval walls of Lagos’ Old Town, you’ll be just a stone’s throw away from a fantastic selection of restaurants, bars, and shops, ensuring you savor all the delightful flavors of the Algarve. Enjoy our communal kitchen or unwind in the lounge area, featuring a dining space and a flat-screen cable TV for your entertainment.

Just a quick hop across the Bensafrim River, you'll find the Lagos Train Station (only 1.6 km away). And if you're up for some beach fun, the expansive Meia Praia Beach is within easy reach. For those looking to explore more, Portimão is a short 19 km drive, and the surf haven of Sagres is just 32 km away. And don’t worry about getting here—Faro International Airport is a mere 90 km away. Enjoy your stay!
