Gold Coast, Australia is now home to the world’s first sand hostel, which will be located on the Kurrawa Beach, in Broadbeach near Pacific Fair Shopping Centre. A collaboration between Gold Coast Tourism and Hostelworld, sand artist Dennis Massoud was roped in for the creation of this natural-theme hostel. Created from 24 tonnes of sand, the hostel will feature an 8-bed dorm and a private double room and offer guests activities such as volleyball, surf lessons, beach yoga and sculpting classes. But hold on a minute, this hostel is going to be a pop-up venture of sorts, to be constructed for three days only—and what’s more you’d have to actually win yourself a spot to stay, through Hostelworld’s Facebook page. You better hurry then!
