About Matsya Hostel
About Matsya Hostel Anglet
Matsya Hostel Anglet is a calm, welcoming home on the Basque coast, situated between Bayonne and Biarritz, created for travellers who value presence, connection, and respect.
More than a place to sleep, Matsya is designed for shared living, done thoughtfully.
Where community happens naturally, quiet is respected, and everyone is free to move at their own rhythm. Some guests come to connect, others to rest or reflect. Both belong here.
This is not a party hostel. It’s a place for slower days, meaningful moments, and feeling at ease, with yourself, with others, and with the place you’re in.
Words from the Owner
“After travelling around the world, my Ikigai (life purpose) is to create joyful, peaceful, and inspiring spaces where people can reconnect with themselves, feel at home, and rediscover happiness — through travel, connection, and intentional living.”
Matsya Hostel was created by Aurélie Duviau, shaped by years of travel and a desire to offer something quieter, warmer, and more human.
Matsya is an invitation to pause.
A gentle moment in your journey where you can slow down, feel grounded, and leave with a little more clarity than when you arrived.
