Founded in 1973 as a registered non-profit and non-government-funded non-profit organisation, Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association (HKYHA) is one of the 90 national associations affiliated with Hostelling International (HI), the worldwide umbrella organisation that provides members with information covering over 4,000 youth hostels and other travel benefits. HKYHA operates 7 youth hostels across Hong Kong and currently has an individual membership of more than 30,000 people and a group membership of over 600.

HKYHA’s mission is to provide safe, simple, and affordable hostelling services to young people and travellers from all over the world. Our hostels also serve as educational platforms that allow travellers to broaden their horizons, to learn about different cultures, and be in touch with nature and heritage conservation.

Located in Hoi Ha Rd, Pak Sha O, YHA Pak Sha O Youth Hostel is the best pick for ecology explorers. Walk down Hoi Ha Road for about 20 minutes to Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park, residents can snorkel to enjoy the colourful coral communities, immerse in the beauty of the mangrove, or admire the splendour of the sedimentary rocks on the beach. The engulfing landscape also makes the hostel a perfect location for stargazing.
