Omassim Guesthouse

We’ve just had our second yoga retreat at Omassim Guesthouse, and as a mother and daughter, we both came away grateful for the amazing time. You can do yoga twice a day, go surfing, or simply enjoy the lovingly prepared vegetarian and vegan food. There’s also a pool, sauna, and ice bath, which was a great experience, and you can walk to the beautiful beach. Lia is always available, answers every question, and organises everything so well, from booking through to leaving. The whole place feels loving, caring, honest, and very well organised. The price is more than fair. Thank you, we’ll be back!

Fresh, homemade, creative, and fully vegetarian or vegan, the food is a definite highlight. I put on weight every time because I can’t stop enjoying it! I first came to Omassim on a friend’s recommendation, then returned this year, and this definitely wasn’t my last visit. It’s the best place I’ve found for calming down and feeling welcomed and appreciated. The hosts, volunteers, yoga teachers, massage therapist, and everyone else are so friendly and put so much love into what they do. The guesthouse is organised really well, but still feels a bit like home and family. Clear recommendation ♥️

I’m heading home much more relaxed than when I arrived, and I really hope I can return soon 🙏 The atmosphere at Omassim is laid back, and everything has been thought through and organised so well. I chose the Yoga and relax package, with great classes and a lovely massage. The food was absolutely delicious, and fresh fruit and filtered water were available freely throughout the day. The lunchboxes were a brilliant idea, since they let you do your own thing during the day. There was a real mix of people, from solo travellers to families and small groups of friends, across different ages, and everyone felt welcome. There are plenty of optional things to try too. Even with the yoga package, you could book a surf or SUP session, and there were sound meditation and ice baths as well. A lovely small town is a 10-minute walk away, and a bigger town is a short drive away, with a taxi costing €3-4. I’ve just had an amazing week here!

The surf and yoga package worked really well: activating yoga in the morning, surfing during the day, then slower yoga in the evening. Lia, Eduardo, and their team gave us a very nice, relaxing stay at Omassim. The food they provided was healthy and very nutritious too. It was a perfect week to unwind while still caring for the body in different ways. I’d definitely recommend it.
