Accommodation and WiFi
Volunteers are accommodated in a cozy, well-equipped hostel just outside the city center of Split. Tucked away in a peaceful residential neighborhood, it offers a calm and pleasant environment while remaining conveniently close to the city. Public transport is just a short 5-minute walk away, and essential services like supermarkets, cafés, bakeries, pharmacies, and ATMs are all within easy reach. A scenic local beach is also nearby, ideal for relaxing after a day of volunteering.
You’ll stay in dormitory-style rooms, usually arranged by gender, with up to eight volunteers per room, ideal for making friends and sharing experiences. During busier seasons, mixed-gender dorms may be used. Each volunteer has access to a secure locker, and the building is equipped with free WiFi and air conditioning to ensure a comfortable stay.
Shared facilities include a dining area, a lounge for relaxing and socializing, and a fully equipped kitchen with fridges, microwaves, and basic cooking utensils. Bathrooms are shared and separated by gender, with Western-style toilets and hot showers. Bedding and towels are provided, and the facilities are cleaned regularly, though volunteers are expected to help maintain cleanliness in communal areas.
Looking for more privacy? Private room upgrades are available on request (subject to availability). These rooms, located just a short walk from the main accommodation, are self-catered. Lunch and dinner are provided daily at a local restaurant nearby, offering a chance to enjoy traditional Croatian cuisine, while breakfast is self-prepared.
This accommodation provides a safe and welcoming base for your volunteering experience, with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
Meals
Volunteers are provided with breakfast every day on the Ecuador - Quito program. Breakfast is usually tea or coffee, milk, oatmeal, local breads, butter, jam and fruit.
Please note, portion sizes in Ecuador are traditionally smaller than what most western countries offer.
Lunch and dinner can be purchased locally for approximately £2 - £11, depending on the type of meal you’re looking for.
If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know when you apply for the program so we can make arrangements for you. However, you should not expect to eat as you normally do at home and need to be flexible.
