Almashala is following all the required hygiene and sanitation measures according to the indications of the Directorate-General for Health, with specific recommendations to maintain the space clean and safe for guests.

A paradise for the Yogis, a place of bliss, peace, and discipline. Almashala is located closed to Ericeira, Portugal, the European modern spiritual mecca. Portugal is a place which is witnessing a transversal migration of people with a common intention of contemporary society based on sustainable living in harmony with the earth, with the ocean and with the others, but also the birth of projects such as co-working spaces, digital nomads networks, ecovillages, permaculture, and shared gardens.

Based on these values and visions we chose this place, we felt a deep and natural sense of belonging for this small magical village and this is why they dreamed of Almashala.

“If you love nature, this is the place for you.”Almashala is located in a strategic location. Pure nature is a few steps away from its door.

The Sintra reserve is one of the most suggestive natural attraction of all Portugal, and it offers infinite walking and trekking routes. From there, you can get to the beach by foot, passing through an enchanting path in the forest, or following the river and getting lost in the valley.

Ericeira was declared World Surfing Reserve in 2011 and is special for a world-class 8-kilometer long surf coastline.

A balanced and healthy diet is important as the practice for Almashala. They work in farming and gardening. Portugal has rich and fertile soil, so they don't need to add anything. They have been inspired by permaculture and biodynamics and are totally committed to organic production.

Ideally, a yogic diet would be rich in sattvic foods. Sattvic foods are generally fresh vegetables, grains, and legumes, mild spices, and mildly sweet foods. According to Ayurveda, this is the best diet for a yogi to adopt. It helps keep the mind clear and Sattvic and makes you feel good physically and emotionally. as opposed to rajasic or tamasic. 

The food Almashala provides follows these lines. Most of the raw material comes from the garden and all the recipes are inspired by a low sugar diet approach.
