My stay at Omassim was just wonderful. The format of each day is morning yoga, breakfast ready and prepared for everyone after, lunchboxes to eat during the free time of the day, evening meditation and yoga, and finally, dinner ready afterwards. The yoga is great and the food was a highlight. Service by Lia and others was amazing. Last but not least, the other guests were so fun to meet and Omassim's format really supports getting to know the other guests with all the activities each day. For the surfers, I only went once, but the instructors were great as well. Highly recommend this guesthouse!

If you want to have a relaxing week with a bit of activity this is the perfect place! The yoga lessons are awesome and the surfing lessons are a lot of fun! Everyone here is so nice and caring. The staff is super friendly and always tries that you have the best time here - and they succeed in doing so! Definitely recommend! Will come back!

I spent a wonderful week at Omassim Guest House. Lia and her team make you feel at home right from the beginning. The houses are beautiful and everything is super clean. Eduardo prepares amazing food. You will not miss anything even if vegetarian/vegan is usually not your diet. There are plenty of spaces to enjoy some alone time if you wish. Apart from yoga and surf there are many more opportunities to spend your time. I booked the yoga and surf package. Being a first time surfer I had no idea what to expect but absolutely loved the experience. Everything was perfect. Don’t think twice about coming here, you will not regret it. I hope to be back as well.

Thanks to Lia, Eduardo and the rest of the team. It was a great pleasure to take a rest and relax at Omassim Gesthouse. I had booked the yoga and surf package and enjoyed the different styles of great yoga with Lia and Judith, relaxing meditations and massage, and of course my very successful surf-lessons. We had a funny group of like-minded people and whole team is super kind and helpful. The veggie food was outstanding. I received much more than I expected and I look forward to coming back.😊

Lia and her team are amazing, the food is delicious! Omassim is the perfect place to relax, enjoy the ocean, discover or improve yoga and surfing and of course end the day with a massage!

Amazing place to wind down and challenge your body, mind and spirit. Best vegetarian food. Lia and the other teachers give a lot of options during yoga class, so everybody can adapt their practice according to their level. Will be back <3 !

I had an incredible week at Omassim! Honestly, it was the first time in my life that I chose to take a solo vacation, and most importantly, a true relaxation retreat. No activities, explorations, or constant movements. My goal was to find a place where I could spend time in complete relaxation, in peace, in love with my body, surrounded by beautiful nature and pleasant details of everyday life. Omassim completely met my expectations. It was a place of total acceptance, tranquility, mutual respect, and enjoyable interactions with new people. I spent a long time choosing the place, carefully selecting based on reviews and photos. It was important for me not to cook and not to think about it - for someone taking a break after three years with a child, it's simply a must. The vegetarian food was a plus, and the food at Omassim exceeded all my expectations; it was very delicious, diverse, and satisfying—thanks to the chefs! To truly relax, I chose only the option with yoga, and yoga did not disappoint. I was worried that, as in many surf camps, it might just be an add-on to surfing, but the yoga was wonderful, challenging, and set the tone for a lively day. The massage seemed to be a hit for everyone, and everyone took at least one additional massage. All the therapists were different, each with their own unique approach. Although I was initially concerned about the massage, thinking it might be just gentle strokes, the therapists turned out to be excellent professionals! And what can I say about the house itself, the people who make this place so special, and their care for guests and the home? The garden, flowers, pool area, hammocks, an incredible array of picturesque details that make you want to draw and draw... And, of course, the people. Everyone was open-minded, welcoming, supportive... in such places, you know, only good people gather. The views around were simply breathtaking! We stayed in a room overlooking the hills and greeted the sunrise there every day before yoga. I really miss that open space before my eyes now... The cliffs above the ocean turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, choosing this place. No, perhaps, they turned out to be even more picturesque... Especially in the company of new friends in the sunset rays. The village of Ribamar is very cozy, full of small houses with well-kept gardens and colorful details. The beach is quite far from the hotel, especially considering the uphill walk back from the beach. But, on the other hand, you can take a leisurely walk along the cliffs, watching the ocean and surfers. I must say that at the end of September, the beach was not the most suitable for swimming. The sand quickly transitions into a rocky uneven bottom, and the waves crash against the shore, full of small stones. But maybe when the ocean is calmer, the beach will be more enjoyable. I think for beginner surfers, this is not the most ideal place, as the rocky bottom can be tricky. But many started here and don't complain. As for drawbacks, the only thing I can point out is the sound in the house. So, bring earplugs, or after two surfing sessions a day, you won't mind it at night. Thank you, Omassim! Thanks to Lia ans Eduardo, staff, volunteers, yoga instructors, and massage therapists. Thanks to the guys who shared this vacation with me and remain pleasant memories, and who knows, maybe they will appear in my life again. I hope Omassim will.

I had fantastic days spent at Omassim last week and would LOVE to return one day! The kindness and professionalism from the lovely hosts, the vibe at the guest house and fellow retreat guests made the atmosphere so rejuvenating and enjoyable. It was a week full of fun activities and healthy life style, amazing tasty food and yoga classes. Many thanks Lia and Eduardo with team 🙏🏼

I loved my stay at Omassim guest house. I felt welcome there immediately, the place is so laid-back and comforting, and the people gentle and kind. The yoga sessions morning and evening were well thought out and executed, as were the meditation sessions. I especially loved the sessions with Aisling. The food was incredible, so so good, and catered for all needs and diets. My room was wonderful, a home-away-from-home, and both the room and the private bathroom in the hallway were absolutely spotless, as was the entire property. Everyone at Omassim was so nice, and it was obvious that the morale was excellent and everyone's work contribution was valued, no matter what the job. Highly recommended. Thank you again Lia, Eduardo, and everyone else at Omassim.

Just back from a week in Omassim. I had the most amazing week. It was my first time going on a yoga retreat so I wasn't sure what to expect. This was the best experience. Lia and Richard were great yoga teachers, explaining everything and pacing the classes to suit the group each day. Food was incredible, massage therapists the best. Location near the beach and cliffs is great for walking. There is a wonderful sense of calm and relaxation around the place but also lots of laughter. I'll definitely be back.

I enjoyed a lot my stay at Omassim. I was there for one week mainly for surfing and ocasionally attended the yoga classes, massage and the sound journey. Everything was amazing , all the activities so well organized, every single activity so easy to book and everything was so profesionally and kindly taking care of. You could not wish for more. The vegan/vegetarian food was such a delight. I am not a vegan/vegetarian but the food was so good and fresh! Omassim team was so kind and happy to assist with anything you might need and Chocolate(the "guardian dog") was there to receive and give a lot of love ☺️! It was a grea experience with great people and I can hardly wait to be back for more rounds 🏄🏼‍♀️. See you soon Omassim!

My girlfriend and me did the Surf & Yoga Package at Omassim last week and could not have wished for more! Right from the start Lia and the rest of the team have created an atmosphere which made us feel very welcome. Whenever there was a question or we needed something, she was always glad to help us, Eduardo pleased us with his exceptionally delicious food and the Yoga sessions have been great too. Besides the very friendly staff we met a lot of interesting and kindhearted people at Omassim, so when we left we even felt a little sad to say goodbye. We took surfing lessons with the guys from Ericeira Surf School. Even though weren’t quite sure what to expect beforehand, as we came there as complete beginners, it turned out to be a lot of fun and we decided to take two extra lessons in the end. All in all we would highly recommend Omassim and are already thinking about returning for another week next year!

My stay at Omassim was just amazing. I have booked the 'YOGA Recharge & Relax EXPERIENCE', and I enjoyed Lia's classes a lot, the relaxing meditation and the massage sessions. The vegan/vegetarian food was outstanding. The entire experience was complete, a joy for my soul. Lastly, I met the most wonderful people/travellers, so I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lia, Eduardo & the rest of the team for organising this! I will be back for sure! ❤️

I loved my tranquil week of surf & yoga with Omassim. I felt home in the charming guesthouse and enjoyed daily yoga and surf sessions. Lia, Eduardo & team are amazing and take such good care of the guests. Meals are included and are healthy, home made & so yum! Fresh bread is delivered daily from a local bakery. I would definitely like to come back some day, thank you!

Highly recommend it!! There is such a good vibe in this place by Lia that makes you feel comfortable right away. The vegetarian food is cooked by Eduardo fresh everyday and tastes amazing. Real food with lots of vegetables, roasted nuts and other yummy stuff. A special thing about the place is also that most people arrive on Saturday and stay for the week so there is a nice hostel vibe - you can do your own stuff but also there's always someone to hang out or chat with when you want. So great when you're travalling on your own or just also like to meet other people. My second time here and will probably come again :)

I have just returned from the most amazing four weeks spent at Omassim Guest House. Lia, Eduado and their wonderful team seem to effortlessly create a home from home atmosphere, where every guest’s individual needs are catered for… if like me you are looking for time, space and peace for meditation and mindfulness you will find it, if you prefer a more active retreat, twice daily yoga and/or surfing classes are available to keep you busy, along with weekly Sweat Lodge Ceremonies, and opportunities for SUP, mountain biking, bouldering and aerial yoga. The two houses are beautiful, simple and comfortable, both with a very relaxed atmosphere. The Yoga Shala has a very special vibe, and evening meditation and Yoga to accompanying bird song are especially rejuvenating. Eduado provides the most delicious vegetarian food imaginable, and Chocolate the worlds most chilled Labrador is super friendly, especially if you are happy to provide the odd ear scritch, belly rub or walk to the beach. Lia, Eduado, and all the other beautiful people I met - thank you will never be enough. Namaste 🙏 x

The loveliest yoga retreat - embraced with love. Recommend staying there with all my heart. The yoga is the best and the food magnificent. Thank you Om assim.

I recently returned from my second visit to Omassim guesthouse in Ericeira, Portugal. This place is a true oasis of tranquility that offers the perfect escape from the stresses of everyday life. The guesthouse is just a few minutes' walk from the ocean, and the fresh sea air is invigorating. I loved walking along the coast and taking in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The beautiful natural surroundings make it the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with yourself. The daily yoga classes were a highlight of my stay, with the perfect combination of dynamic and restorative classes. But what really sets Omassim apart is the exceptional service provided by Lia, Eduardo and their lovely Team. Lia is a fantastic host who creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Very attentive host, Lia ensures that every guest feels at home. The food at Omassim is exceptional, and for that, we need to thank Eduardo. Everyone was delighted with the variety and creativity of the dishes. Each vegetarian meal was a delicious and nourishing feast, made with the freshest colourful ingredients. A memorable experience during my stay this year was participating in a Temazcal ceremony. It was an intense but transformative experience that left my body and mind feeling cleansed and energized. Overall, Omassim guesthouse is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and re-connect with yourself. It's a rare find that combines exceptional service, delicious food, wonderful yoga classes, meeting lovely like-minded people, stunning natural surroundings, and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I cannot recommend highly enough this unforgettable place, and I cannot wait to return again soon. Lia, Eduardo and Team, thank you so much for everything and hopefully see you again soon!

Had such a great week at Omassim! Lia and Eduardo really make sure you have a great time. The people are supernice, the accommodation is comfortable and the food is amazing! Also, I liked the yoga classes and the other activities. It was a good mixture between activities and free time for me. I will definitely come back here!

I had the best time at Omassim. Lia and her team are very welcoming and create a feel-good atmosphere. The mix of sport, relaxation and good food makes you feel so alive! Surfing for the first time was a beautiful experience that I will remember for a long time!! I will be happy to come back!

My friend recommended me this place and have to admit it overachieved my expectations. The place is amazing to enjoy surf and yoga classes or just to chill by the pool while everything is taken care of by lovely team, not to mention Chocolate (dog) is always ready to welcome some cuddles! :) Thank you for great week!

Omassim Guesthouse is a beautiful place. It's the second time I came here for a week of yoga & surf. It's the perfect spot, if you feel like recharging your batteries und be active at the same time. Lia is super welcoming and Eduardo cooks the best vegan/vegetarian food ever (delicious, creative and healthy)!!! Both times I came as a solo traveller and was lucy to have the opportunity to spend time with kind, interesting and open-minded people (staff and guests / solo travelers and couples) I especially enjoyed the energizing yoga lessons in the morning and have the opportunity to surf. Thanks Lia, Eduardo and the team + dog chocolate for the great week. And of course my lovely roommates ;).

I really needed a week to unwind and recharge and Omassim delivered just that. I did the yoga package and the yoga teaching was absolutely amazing - loved the more dynamic/vinyasa flow classes with Lia in the mornings and the Yin with Mounya in the evenings - and there were some great meditation sessions too. The pool was a great place to chill and read in the sunshine, the food was absolutely AMAZING (thanks Eduardo!), the rooms and beds were super comfy and quiet so I slept really well. You’re close to an amazing beach - even if not surfing it’s a great place to sit and watch the surf/appreciate amazing scenery, and not far from Ericeira which is a lovely little place to explore. There’s a real sense of community at Omassim, not only are all the staff so friendly and kind, but I met some amazing people to share a bottle or two of Portuguese wine with in the evening, but also took the down time I needed. Would recommend this place in a heartbeat, it was so good for the soul. Thanks Omassim!

One of the most fulfilling weeks of my life. My plan was to wind down and relax and upgrade my yoga practice. So after comparing a lot of different retreats I signed up for the yoga and surf package. The place is great. Location is A++ super near the beach and surf spot. The hosts are just amazing souls. Super friendly, kind, and always willing to help. The food is exquisite. Even tho I'm not a vegetarian. I enjoyed each and every single meal I got there. There is basically unlimited food 3 times a day and it's all super healthy, so tasty, and full of inspiring combinations. The yoga classes are top-notch and totally upgraded my yoga practice. The guidance in the classes is great and there is always room to ask questions. This is the same for the Surf classes. The teachers are really cool and friendly and managed to have me catching a few of my own waves at the end of the week. The beach nearby is beautiful, not crowded, and has amazing viewpoints. Also, there is a complete gym attached to the house that you are free to use as much as you want. By the end of the week I felt so powerful, healthy and happy. It may be no surprise that such a place attracts an equally wonderful crowd. I met great and likeminded people during my stay. If you are still considering where to go and you're reading this. I tell you, just book it. You will not regret it!

One of the best places I have ever stayed. Lia is a fantastic yoga teacher and caters very well for both beginners all the way to those very experienced. The houses were well equipped with everything you need and were spotlessly clean. I felt very relaxed and comfortable the entire time. The food was all delicious too - I am not a vegetarian but did not miss meat at all while I was there. I will absolutely go back and will recommend it to anyone!

I arrived at Omassim without doing much research about it. It was just a gut feeling that encouraged me to go. I'm really glad I did follow my instinct, as can't fully describe through this review how grateful I am to have spent a whole week there. * The yoga was outstanding - I am really picky with my instructors * The surf was world-class - with classes to both cater to beginners and intermediates * The food was delightful and with plenty of variety * The gym is well-equipped and a perfect space to release tensions in case needed * The surroundings are beautiful, there are plenty of walks and the accommodation is a short taxi away from the town in case needed Lia and Eduardo have done a wonderful work putting everything together so that visitors can give themselves the opportunity to leave their worries behind for a week and take the opportunity to deeply connect with themselves (and others if that's your thing as well). Highly recommend this place, don't think twice. ;)

Changed my life! One of the best weeks I’ve ever had. Super peaceful, zen energy. Very clean and tidy. Delicious food, always got seconds. The yoga was great, and the surfing was good to. Truly a magical place.
