An einem ruhigen Ort in den Hügeln oberhalb des Strandes von São Julião bietet Moka köstliche vegetarische Gerichte, hochwertige Surfkurse und eine gute Auswahl an Yogakursen.
Francesca Botta ist eine der Gründerinnen von Moka Surfhouse & Yoga Retreat. Sie begann 2009 in Italien Yoga zu studieren und verliebte sich in die Ashtanga-Praxis unter der Leitung von Gian Renato Marchisio - autorisierter Level I KPJAYI Lehrer. Nach einer einjährigen Ausbildung bei Joana Cadete und Rita Chacaço erwarb sie den RYT 200hr Yoga Teacher. Sie setzte ihr Studium fort, indem sie an verschiedenen Workshops in Italien, Portugal und Spanien teilnahm, um die technischen und spirituellen Aspekte zu vertiefen. Für Francesca ist Yoga eine Art zu leben und jeden Tag zu entdecken, wie die Praxis Raum in sich selbst schaffen kann.
Carla Alcobia praktiziert seit mehreren Jahren Yoga, was sie auf eine tiefe Reise der inneren Wiederentdeckung und Wiederverbindung geführt hat. Als zertifizierte Yogalehrerin (RYT 200hr) liebt sie es, ergänzende Yogapraktiken zu erforschen und unterrichtet Vinyasa, Yin und Restorative Yoga, Yoga Nidra und Aerial Yoga. Die Energie, die sie in ihre Klassen steckt, konzentriert sich darauf, die Praxis in einen meditativen Moment zu verwandeln, der es den Schülern erlaubt, sich in ihrem eigenen Tempo wieder mit ihrem inneren Raum des Gleichmuts und der Stille zu verbinden.
Joana Martins fand im Yoga ihren Weg der Verbindung. Als die Praxis immer mehr Verbreitung fand, beschloss sie, sich ein Jahr lang zur Yogalehrerin (RYT 200hr) ausbilden zu lassen. Sie hat auch einen Hintergrund in Philosophie und hat einige andere Zertifizierungen im Bereich Wellness als ganzheitlichen Weg gemacht. Sie folgt der Prämisse, dass sich nicht das Individuum an die Praxis anpassen sollte, sondern umgekehrt, die Praxis sollte sich an das Individuum anpassen, indem sie den Rhythmus jeder Person und die Fähigkeit, die jeder findet, um sein Universum der Praxis zu erforschen, wertschätzt und ihr Raum gibt.
Fiona Caitlin Bringmann hat sich schon in jungen Jahren in Yoga verliebt und unterrichtet seit acht Jahren Yoga. Sie absolvierte ihre erste Yogalehrerausbildung bei Frog Lotus Yoga in Andalusien, Spanien, und hat seitdem ihre Praxis und ihren Unterrichtsstil durch fortlaufende Studien in Australien, Dänemark, Indien und Portugal weiterentwickelt. Fionas Klassen sind kreativ und beinhalten viele Aspekte des bewussten Fließens durch Balance, Stärkung, Dehnung, Atemarbeit und Meditation. Sie ist der Meinung, dass Yoga für jeden Körper geeignet ist, und so ist ihr Unterrichtsstil sanft und forschend.
Bárbara Moura praktiziert seit über 20 Jahren Hatha Yoga. Was als ergänzende körperliche Praxis begann, wurde zu einem Bedürfnis, sich mit sich selbst zu verbinden, zu einer Lebensweise. Nachdem sie einen Kurs in Yoga für Babys und Kinder an der Babyoga Portugal School absolviert hatte, schloss sie eine von der Yoga Alliance zertifizierte Lehrerausbildung ab. Zurzeit besucht sie The Syntropy of Yoga: 3 Jahre fortgeschrittenes Studienprogramm in Iyengar Yoga mit Billy Konrad und Tobias Lotan.
Klaudia begann ihre Reise als Yogaschülerin in ihren jungen Jahren und erkannte, dass diese uralte Praxis ihr half, Geist, Körper und Emotionen in Einklang zu bringen. Fasziniert von der Tiefe der Yogalehren, reiste sie 2018 nach Indien und absolvierte ihre 200h RYS Lehrerausbildung im Earth Yoga Village. Nach weiteren Ausbildungen an der Yoga Vidya Schule (100h) und vielen Stunden Vipassana Meditationspraxis unterrichtet sie seither die Grundlagen von Hatha, Vinyasa und Meditation als eine Form der tiefen inneren Erforschung. Ihr Unterrichtsstil konzentriert sich auf die Kultivierung von Zuständen der Achtsamkeit und des Flusses durch Bewegung.

"Life changing experience "
The Moka surf house and yoga retreat was my first (and definitely not my last) travel experience of that kind. It was my first time surfing and my doing yoga, both were so marking and beautiful.
Surfing was magical and I managed to break the fear of the waves from the first day, I would highly recommend trying it if you’re considering staying at Moka. Tarek was my instructor and he was very nice and receptive, plus standing up on the board for the first time is one of the best feelings ever.
The yoga classes were not intense at all but were magical. I really felt like part of myself healed from within and I will start doing yoga on the regular. The yoga instructors were very professional and helpful.
The massage was one of the best I’ve ever had. I have a stiff back and my shoulders were very tense, the next day I felt like I got another back. It was a bit painful but the aftermath was a 10/10.
The volunteers, the chef, the staff, and the rest of the residents were all genuine, fun, and understanding. It really felt like home for a short while. It was super interesting to meet and eat and share ideas with people from all over the world.
The food was absolutely delicious, be it for the breakfast or dinner. And the Chef used to play a techno playlist every night which was sick!! (On low volume but the songs were
So nice).
The overall stay was magical, there’s a nice garden with a small orange tree, a jacuzzi with a view, and hammocks to relax.
Highly recommended!!

"Great place to relax when it's cold in your country"
I was at Moka at the end of October/beginning of November. It was a lovely stay. The yoga classes are great and offer different perspectives for your practice. The classes are at a beginner level but still challenging. Doing both surfing and yoga on the same day can be tiring after a while. All the teachers are very kind and share a lot of knowledge with you.
The food is amazing. For breakfast, there's a consistently great buffet every day (except for the cakes, which may vary). The dinners, however, are unique and always fantastic. You're delighted by how good everything tastes.
The surfing lessons were really good. They start at different times each day, and everything you need is provided.
The facility is perfect for relaxing and unwinding. There are plenty of places to sit or lie down and chill. It's also located in a quiet area, but just a short walk to the nearest beach or a short drive to Ericeira.
I had a great time and will definitely come back!

Everything was perfect !
The place is beautiful , the staff is always ready to help, the food is delicious, the surf is amazing, the yoga classes are very good. I haven't tried any surf or yoga classes before so I was a real beginner and all the teachers were great ! I quickly felt confident and relaxed there. And other travellers I met were also very nice. So, I really recommand Moka Surfhouse & Yogaretreat :)

Ik heb het erg naar mijn zin gehad en genoten van hoge kwaliteit yoga. Kleine tip, ik denk dat een diffuser voor de hele ervaring van ook het element geur het extra fijn zou maken. En een kleine thee na de yoga practice maakt het ook nog net even wat specialer en fijn afsluiter. Al met al great experince

I went with a friend as a taster experience as I had never been on a retreat before. It was very enjoyable. Moka is well run, the staff are excellent and friendly. Our room and all the communal spaces were clean and relaxing.
The yoga classes were fantastic. I liked that they were different styles and teachers every day. The teachers were all totally professional and engaged with the practice.
I liked the fact that some of the people were there for surfing as well as yoga. It gave a different vibe. Everyone we met were coming for different reasons and from many countries. I really liked that we could book for three nights and many people there seemed to have booked a week or more.
I highly recommend Moka Surfhouse and would go back again. Thank you to all who made our experience wonderful.

Es hat gar nicht lange gedauert und man fühlt sich zu Hause in Moka. Die Unterkunft, das Essen, die Leute, die Aktivitäten - alles ist zum wohlfühlen! Es waren sehr viele alleine dort, was es ganz einfach gemacht hat, Kontakte zu wunderbaren Menschen knüpfen. Ich empfehle einen Urlaub in Moka sehr!

"Absolutely lovely stay and overall experience "
The yoga is held in a beautiful yurt by some excellent teachers. I struggle with anxiety and usually get distracted and in my head - but when guided by Carla and Barbara I was fully present and at ease. The inside of the yurt is bathed in sunlight every morning and evening and so peaceful. The food was an experience in its own right. The chef served some of the most creative and tasty vegan dishes I ever had. The shared rooms are quite basic, but there is plenty of storage and the house has plenty of decent bathrooms, good showers etc. The garden is lovely for sunbathing with its hammocks and loungers and a hot tub/jacuzzi to chill in.

I honestly never write reviews but I have had the absolute best week at Moka. Almost immediately I felt super comfortable and connected so deeply with the other guests.
It truly is a family - you see the same people day in day out and there is a genuine care and connection between everyone. One of my best experiences solo travelling I can’t recommend enough.

The retreat was a lovely little villa in rural Portugal, with a gorgeous yurt for practice and delicious dinners each evening. They offered daily shuttles to nearby beach and the town of Ericera which was really helpful. The facilities were always clean and tidy. The yoga was lovely and it was great to have a mix of yoga teachers who were all very qualified and experienced. The included massage was one of the best I've ever had, and the staff were all lovely welcoming people.

"Cute retreat with lovely staff and beautiful location"
Augusta and all of the staff and volunteers that work here were super kind and friendly throughout the whole experience. From the booking process (which I had some issues with finding a date) to my check out, they were patient and flexible. The space and location itself is beautiful; the rooms are nice and tidy, there is a beautiful garden and the space where the yoga sessions are done is tranquil and stunning. I liked the open schedule with 2 yoga sessions a day and set meal times but plenty of free time to work with; a good balance of flexibility with some routine. It’s well-situated, close to Ericeira, beaches, and a grocery store nearby. Food was great, healthy and varied. Everything was very well organised, they were very on top of providing us with the info we needed, arranging pick-ups etc. I also had one of the best massages I’ve ever had here, unexpected for a retreat like this as I’ve had terrible massages at even high-end spas, but the massage therapist was very knowledgeable and skilled. Had a great stay even though it was a short one. Would come back and would definitely recommend it!

"Perfect retreat, great food, lovely people, excellent set-up"
The service was perfect - very attentive, thoughtful, well structured and friendly.
Before the retreat, communication was good and clear and they were very prompt to respond to any queries.
The atmosphere was lovely. All the guests were very pleasant and relaxed, in keeping with the overall vibe. I went there alone and felt that I had exactly the right amount of active time (yoga and surfing), solo time, and social time over breakfast and dinner.
The yoga sessions were great. There was a nice mix of types of yoga and all the teachers were excellent.
In my 3-night package, there was a full body massage included which was wonderful.
I also signed up at the last minute for a couple of beginners’ surf lessons which were held with the Ericeira Surf School. They pick you up from Moka and drive you 15 mins or so to the beach with a stop-off to get your wetsuit sorted out. The instructors were really good - positive, supportive and patient.
The food served at breakfast and dinner was very good. The chef was innovative, creative and produced a nice wide variety of dishes.

"Amazing vacation in Ericieria"
I loved the package deal and the location. I met some amazing people. The yoga and surfing was my highlight. The surf team were super nice and fun, and the yoga especially Melania were very professional and took care to explain everything. the location and staff were the other highlights. The guys working there were awesome. I did get eaten alive by mosquitoes so I feel like they could have put a net in the room, especially after I complained to the reception team. I regret not having a spray and sadly the local shop didn’t carry anything. The dorms were mixed a little noisy but overall okay - I had thought I had booked a 4 bed dorm but it was a 6 bed and there were able to be flexible on moving. I was okay to stay on there but I slept badly. The sheets weren’t very clean as I noticed some stains. Overall it was a great trip but just would do a private dorm next time! Really enjoyed the food too. Excellent vegetarian food. The staff, the yoga, the guests, the food and the local area were the highlights.

Moka Surfhouse is an absolute gem - it's very well-run, with staff on hand who care about the guests and are obviously invested in them having a great experience. The activities were great and run by competent and friendly instructors (both surf and yoga). The food was amazing - it's hard to eat healthy food on holiday but breakfasts and dinners were so tasty and made extremely well. Really nice bunch of guests as well - I met some lovely people. Very happy with my experience and highly recommend this retreat.

La plage de Sao Julian a proximité est un excellent spot de surf et la petite ville d'Ericeira est magnifique également.
Moka propose des cours de surf pour débutants notamment avec des professeurs très attentifs et sympas. Les cours de yoga sont une première pour moi et j'ai adoré !
J'ai rajouté en plus des cours d'équitation avec Antonio et j'ai trop trop adoré ! Plusieurs balades de plusieurs heures à cheval dans la vallée. Antonio est à l'écoute, met à l'aise et donne beaucoup de conseils sur votre pratique à cheval.
Un grand merci, c'était une expérience hors du commun !

"Super séjour à Moka surf et yoga house !"
Endroit super le secteur est vraiment magnifique ! En plus le temps était très agréable !
Tout le monde (team Moka house + les habitants) a été très gentil, malheureusement je n’ai pas pu trop échanger car mon niveau de langue étrangère est à zéro ! Malgré cela je me suis bien sentie ! La maison est simple mais tout le confort est là, l’hygiène est bonne la nourriture saine et les quantités généreuses ! Les extérieurs sont agréables avec différents endroits lounge pour se relaxer. Les cours de yoga étaient très différents de ce que je peux faire en France, j’ai trouvé « très traditionnel » j’aurais apprécié plus de variété. Mais c’était sympa de découvrir de nouveaux styles de pratiques ! (Je précise que je ne suis restée à peine 3 jours donc sur une semaine peut-être que je n’aurais pas eu ce ressenti). La yourte où se déroule les cours est grande est super propice à cette pratique. C’était vraiment « chouette »!
Le massage était super, 1 heure de bien-être immergée dans les odeurs d’huile essentielle : le bonheur !
En conclusion, je recommande pleinement et je retournerai volontiers pour une escapade « déconnexion » à Ericeira.
Merci Moka house !!

All round good vibes at Moka, all the staff are super friendly and the retreat attracts a diverse range of lovely people. I would say most are in 20's or early 30's.
The yoga is accessible to beginners whilst still pushing those who want to improve. Wide range of practices & teachers who were all very friendly.
I would say this is a perfect place for yoga and surf if you are not too serious and just want to have a chill time. If you are really into your yoga then maybe look for somewhere more specialising in what you want.

"Amazing week !!!!"
It was a wonderful week I didn’t want to come back home after this yoga & surf retreat at Moka surfhouse!
The surf lessons were really adapted even for beginners, and the yoga classes in the evening were very relaxing!
Both breakfasts and dinners were great! The pizza place down the road is also great for lunch!
Moka place was really pleasant and cosy, it was great to chill and have the meals all together there, and also be able to go to both beaches nearby by walk and to the centre of Ericeira with the shuttle.
Special thanks to volunteers, staff and guests there that were so lovely and welcoming! It was such a pleasure to meet everyone and spend time together with so many different nationalities!
Perfect balanced between sport/activities, chill, good food, beach and lovely encounters with new people 😊
I already want to come back ! 😊

"Just go and you wont regret! :) "
I had been deciding a long time to go Moka or other retreat, but I am glad that I chose Moka and you wont be regret! :D the guesthouse is on the hill which have some nice restaurants and a mini market nearby. The Ericeria town is about 15-20 mins by uber (€5) which they are many nice cafes and restaurants, also the sea is so stunning!!! I just fall in love on the first day I come and decidied to stay for one more day!
Carla and Melania are so knowledgable and nice. Their class are suitable for all levels even for beginners, they focus on the basic and alignments with different props which are good!
The vegetarian food is sooo tasty even there is no meat haha Worth trying and detox for a few nights :)
All people there are nice and friendly. The volunteers and staff there are so helpful and solved my many requests so efficiently! Big thanks again!

"Wonderful yoga retreat"
The overall experience was amazing. I loved the yoga classes, all of them were on a very high standard. I really liked the fact the were few different yoga styles, it made it really interesting and I learnt some new tips. The Retreat place is nice & cozy, with walking distance to some great beaches. The nature around is outstanding, its quiet yet close enough to the busiest areas. The people working there are really kind, helpful and welcoming. I also really enjoyed massage with Suzanna, it was one of the best massages I had. I will definitly come back for another retreat.

"Relaxing, Nourishing and Fun"
Me and my partner stayed here for the three day yoga and surf package during our travels round Portugal and we had such a wonderful time!! Joana was so warm and welcoming and helpful with everything we needed! The yoga lessons were absolutely amazing as well and all of the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout every practise. The yoga teachers made the experience so valuable. We met lots of lovely people here and it was the perfect balance of having our own space together and also being able to socialise and enjoy our time with everyone at Moka and get to know people from all different places. We also had an hour massage in our package which was an amazing addition and the lady was absolutely lovely. The food was also all homemade and delicious and catered for our dietary requirements so kindly. Everything was organised and easy making our stay there so peaceful and relaxing, we spent much of our time in the hammocks and out in the sun reading and drinking lovely herbal tea. The surf lessons are also perfect for beginners and intermediate was perfect for beginners who are looking to improve their confidence and catch bigger waves. We will definitely be stopping by Moka again for another stay and thank you again for making our trip so much fun

Net iets buiten Ericeira ligt Moka, in een klein dorpje. De bus stopt voor de deur bij de supermarkt en een paar restaurantjes. De loacatie heeft een mooie tuin met hangmatjes stoelen en er is een dakterras. De yoga wordt gegeven in een Yurt, wat een fijne plek is. Je kan je laten afzetten op het strand of in Ericeira. Maar je kan ook de fiets nemen of een mooie hike maken. Kortom een fijne plek om te zijn.

Great service with the pick up from bus station on arrival and daily from coast or town. Great vegetarian dinners and filling breakfasts. Helpful staff and great teachers. Different teachers offered variety of yoga styles and therefore wider opportunities to learn the theory and beliefs of each practice. Longer workshops also available through the week to book additionally.
The massage with Joanna was fierce deep tissue massage and so good - she was so lovely and happy to adapt the treatment to what you wanted.

"Moka - The best decision I could take"
These four days were just amazing! Exactly what I would expect from a yoga retreat. Kind staff, great yoga classes, wonderful massage, tidy and cosy facilities, super-tasty food, beautiful environment and good accessibility to town and beach. All this contributes to a unique, friendly atmosphere where you can come alone and still socialize with everyone you meet if you feel for it.
All information I received in advance from Moka was precise and reflected the reality on the ground. No bad surprises or false promises. They pro-actively arranged my transfer from the bus station to Moka upon my arrival, which I myself forgot to think about when planning the trip. Really great service and outgoing mindset.
I can't wait to be back there!

"Amazing yoga retreat!"
Moka surf house was great for an escape from city life and to meet new people from all around the world. You get to feel part of a little mixed community for your stay. I did the yoga package which was really nice that they offer mixed styles and different instructors to creat a nice variety during your stay. I did a surf lesson 1 day which was a lot of fun and nice that they had that option. Great they offer a ride into town each day and pick up from the bus stop. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a little retreat or a slower pace of life for a few days. Also great for less experienced yogis as I was a bit nervous that it could be a bit intimidating with some more advanced yogis :) also FYI ubering to/from Lisbon airport is also easy and affordable at ~€35 each way.

"Wonderful experience! "
I’ve never done something like this before and I am a total yoga beginner so I was very nervous about this but I loved it and would 100% recommend. All of the staff were so warm friendly and helpful from the moment I arrived. The quality of yoga teaching was superb (also confirmed by other guests more experienced than myself) and they helped me modify poses for my ability. I enjoyed the massage so much I booked in another one. The facilities were clean and peaceful, I spent a lot of time in the common area and the garden. It was really nice having breakfast and dinner (food was delicious) with other guests and by the end of the trip we’d formed a lovely bond. The location which is a little bit away from the main Ericeira town didn’t cause me any issues as Moka offer transfers into town/beach, and cheap taxis are also available if needed plus there’s shops close by for essential items/lunch. For me this experience was the perfect balance of physical wellness, socialising and ‘me time’. I left feeling relaxed, reenergised and connected. If you have any reservations, please just go for it. You won’t regret it. Thank you very much for a great experience team Moka.

"the perfect retreat "
I loved how this yoga retreat is conducted and managed. The people at Moka, the owners, the managers, the yoga instructors and the volunteers are warm, friendly and open. The place itself has a positive energy and to be there felt like a home away from home. You will get attached to it and the fellow travelers you will meet there very quickly. The shared rooms, bathrooms and common areas are clean and user friendly. The food served is delicious, the massage session is refreshing and bookable surf lessons are fun. The yoga sessions are exactly one would expect them to be. They are oriented perfectly to match both yoga beginners and experts. The teachers are open, helpful, patient and attentive. The Moka house is located a bit further away (30 min walk) from the nearest beach and surf town Ericeira but its remoteness adds on perfectly to the peaceful atmosphere one expects at a retreat. They have daily shuttle service which takes you to the town. They also provide bikes if you want to ride. Uber is quite affordable as well. I came a bit nervous but left fully content with new memories, experiences and friends. All in all, it has been one of the most memorable experience for me.

La variété et la qualité des cours de yoga, géniaux ! La gentillesse et disponibilité du personnel. Les délicieux petits déjeuners et dîners, originaux, complets et variés. L’ambiance de groupe entre les surfeurs et les yogis. La possibilité de changer/adapter le programme ajouter des cours de surf, même pour les débutants. Les transferts organisés pour la plage et la ville. Calme le soir, avec la possibilité de profiter quand même d’être ensemble. Quelques jours où on oublie le temps !

It was the perfect getaway. I went there for 1 week of yoga and had a private room. They were very welcoming, they even thought about contacting me the day before I arrived to check. On arrival, they did the required corona tests. They followed the guidelines as needed. The food was excellent. They even managed to give me an alternative every time, because I am allergic to some things. Even though we couldn't use the kitchen due to corona, they were always helpful if you needed something. The rooms are very cosy as well. If you need information for hikes, biking, etc etc in the neighbourhood, they are also always ready to help you with tips. And the yoga classes are heavenly. I really liked Dorotea her classes, as well as the others!
So, I can really recommend this stay (that much that I am considering to come back actually :-))

We loved the family feel of this retreat. Furio and Francesca, and their respective partners, were a constant presence and always had time to chat about their passions- either the best surf spots or yoga. The local chef making healthy and delicious food. The amazing and calming yoga teacher and the Volunteers who were so kind, willing to help and made yummy cakes for breakfast.
The setting was very nice, about 1km away from the beach but very tranquil with lots of communal areas to chill out in. Also, there were some nice restaurants and bars within walking distance. The surf instructors were also very helpful and I definitely think I improved my surfing (and I’ve been surfing for 3 years). The skate ramp was also a welcome surprise.

"Super nettes und chilliges Surf & Yoga Camp"
Moka ist ein toller Platz um Surfen und Yoga miteinander zu verbinden. Es liegt zu Fuß eine Stunde außerhalb con Ericeira. Der Shuttle Service ist jedoch super und kann täglich hin und rück genutzt werden. Das Gelände ist mega idyllisch und mit dem frei zur Verfügung stehenden Rädern ist man in 10 Min am Strand und Strandcafé mit herrlichem Ausblick.
Alle Leute sind super nett und hilfsbereit und kleine Probleme lassen sich easy klären. Das publikum ist bunt gemischt und es fühlt sich irgendwie wie Familie an. Man kommt gut mit allen Gästen ins Gespräch und auch die Dinner sind sehr lustig.
Das Frühstück und Dinner ist super lecker und auf individuelle Ernährungsvorlieben wird Rücksicht genommen.
Auch das Yoga und meine zwei Massagen waren super.

There are so many different areas to chill out and relax, form hammocks to sofas to deck chairs.The group meals cooked by the chef are fabulous, filling and tasty.And breakfast is a perfect way to start the day.I tried Yoga for the first time and loved it. The yurt where it is performed is incredible. I had surf lessons with Marco who was outstanding and his smile brightened every morning . I cannot express the love I have for this place and the people I met there. I will be returning again next year.

"Wonderful experience "
A lovely retreat outside Ericeira, beautiful surroundings and run by very friendly, open people who embody a yogic lifestyle. Took the yoga package only but based on chatting with others the surf experience and teaching is also excellent. Mindful yoga classes take place in a beautiful yoga Shala in the garden and I learned such a lot from both Dorothea and Christine to bring back to my own practice. I also had a really fantastic massage - so sorry I can’t remember the name of the practitioner! Wonderful evening meals every couple of days, with great veggie food and a real feeling of community. Dorms very comfortable- slept deeply every night due to exercise and great air quality. As a somewhat older person at the retreat house I did not feel at all out of place and enjoyed chatting to other guests in the evenings over a glass of wine. The house is close to a beautiful beach and drop-offs and pick ups are available to go further afield every day. Coming home my over- riding memory is of genuine welcome and warmth from the owners and teachers and the huge amount of work that goes into making the whole experience as happy as possible for all the guests. A special thank you to Dorothea for her generous teaching- I hope to return in future! Namaste 🙏

"A nice yoga retreat"
I really enjoyed the yoga classes, and Dorotea was an amazing and warm professor! The food was also very good, diverse, and vegetarian/vegan friendly. I met a lot of nice people coming from all over Europe and from different walks of life. The atmosphere definitely worth it, but it feels more like a youth hostel experience than a serious yoga retreat. The staff was also super kind and chill.

"Saudade for Moka Surf House, Ericeira and all the friends"
Les propriétaires du lieu sont très accueillants et tout est bien organisé sans non plus que cela soit trop rigide, c'est modulable selon nos envies du moment. Les cours de Yoga et les cours de surf sont de grande qualité. Les professeurs tant de Yoga et de surf donnent de super cours, sont très prévenants, rigoureux et en plus très sympas. Il y avait une bonne ambiance sur la plage pendant les cours de surf! Les petits déjeuners et les repas sur place sont délicieux. L'ambiance parmi le groupe présent était très bonne, les installations, permettent cela, comme les terrasses, les espaces communs et les dortoirs, mais aussi les petits déjeuners et les repas et les cours, cela permet de créer cette très bonne ambiance. Nous étions un groupe très varié au niveau des âges et de tas de pays (France, Pologne, Italie, Irelande, Angleterre, Norvège, Suède etc. etc.) et tout le monde s'est très bien entendu. Saudade pour Moka Surf House. Je pense y revenir l'été prochain.

A very nice place, with very nice people, both the ones in staff and the other guests. The staff are very helpful and flexible.
A nice atmosphere with good opportunities for making your own food and relaxing. There are many other activities you can easily book, if you would like to do other stuff than yoga/surf, and at a reasonable price.
10 min. to the beach by car, and wonderful beaches for surfing.

From the moment I arrived at Mokha everyone was super friendly and inviting. Travelling alone can be anxiety-provoking, yet I immediately felt welcomed and at home. The staff were very friendly, helpful and proactive, Dorotea was fantastic as a yoga teacher - super friendly and she gave me some great alignment tips! I didn't get to take as many of Christine's classes, however they were equally fabulous. The food was great, the environment was great, the people were great!

Was one of the best vacations I ever had! The guests as well as the staff are great. The yoga and surf instructors are very passionate and great. After only an hour in the water, all of us beginners were able to get up on the board even though the conditions were not the easiest.
Also it should be mentioned that the free dinner that was offered is prepared by the staff which is mainly Italian. Need I say more? ;) great food in great quantities, just right after a day in the ocean :)

"6 days of utter bliss"
This was my first yoga retreat and I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I hadn't been doing much yoga for a few months before going away, so was looking forward to getting stuck into my practice once again, and this retreat really allowed me to do that.
Moka is fairly small, around 20 people doing a mix of yoga and surf and because of that you get to know people pretty quickly. Like me, a lot of people were solo travellers and this didn't matter at all - everyone was really friendly.
I was in a 4 person shared room which was basic, but fine. I only spent time sleeping in there. The rest of the villa is lovely - a big shared kitchen space with a TV (we had lovely evening meals and a group Game of Thrones finale viewing which was fun) and loads of outdoor areas to chill out either in a hammock or deck chair. The yurt to do yoga in was a great space, with a beautiful view over the sea.
The teaching was brilliant - a real mix of styles and accessible for all levels (though I think if you were a total beginner you may struggle a little). Neither Dorotea or Christine took themselves too seriously, which I think is important. Moka is about chilling and having a good time. It's not a detox. You can have a drink in the evening and nobody will mind. Talking to people, I think this is what really appealed.
The nearby town of Ericera is cute and they offer a shuttle which is helpful. The nearby beach is lovely and quiet with a nice cafe on the top of the cliff.

The staff was really welcoming, mainly Emanuela, Andia and Cindy.
Breakfast was good but I would have appreciated some non vegetarian option!
The villa it’s really well maintained, the garden is amazing and the yoga place is very nice.
I liked the yoga with Dorotea: Both Ashtanga, rocket and vinyasa class were all good if you’re a beginner Or intermediate level. I wouldn’t describe them as challenging classes but they’re good if you’re good to yoga and they not too demanding if you’re doing other activities during the day like surfing or hiking.
Massage was actually great. One of the best ones I’ve ever had.

The staff were friendly, very well organised and nothing was too much trouble. Food freshly prepared and delicious. It was great to try the different types of yoga and our instructor Dorotea was funny, warm and welcoming. She took the time to explain the positions and help correct your posture. Christine was great as well and I really enjoyed the inclusion of essential oils In her sessions. It really didn't matter what level your yoga was at, you were encouraged to go at your own pace. I loved the whole experience and thought it was excellent value for money.

Moka has this welcoming and relaxing vibe. All instructors are very good in their field without taking themselves too seriously. Everybody is so kind and wise. We were among the youngest visitors, at 26 years old and we made so many amazing and diverse friends (we are already planning a reunion). We booked our accommodation on the last minute, which allowed us to choose a period of amazing, sunny weather in the beginning of May. This greatly influenced our visit. Breakfast was cute and the two dinners were just perfect thanks to David’s italian cusine! We did not have much background in yoga and surfing before our Moka visit, but we learned so much and are motivated to continue.

Le lieu invite à la détente, nous avons eu du mal à quitter MOKA pour aller à la plage !
Des vélos sont à disposition, et la plage est aussi facile d'accès à pied (25 min de marche)
Au programme : running au levé de soleil avant la classe de 8h30, balades à vélo, massage (incroyable!!!!) découverte des falaises.... tout était magique
Je recommande chaudement MOKA et n'ai qu'une hâte : y retourner !

I loved staying at Moka and think it’s really good value for money. The accommodation is beautiful and clean, yet un-showy and they have created a retreat space where you can find a balance of structured activities (yoga, running, surfing, SUP to name a few) and time for rest and relaxation (the hammocks and massage included in the package are great). The owners are friendly and helpful but give everyone their space too. All very well organised. Loads of interesting people passing through. I preferred this to some of the more expensive retreats I’ve been on. Thanks very much - we had a great time.

"Short getaway from the city"
I last-minute booked a short trip to Moka via bookyogaretreats.com for the yoga and ended up joining a couple of the surf classes too - both very enjoyable for all levels. Dorotea's ashtanga and rocket yoga classes were particularly movement-focused and Christine's yin yoga class was very calming. Both have different styles of course but very attentive to their students equally.
Despite new people coming and going everyday, Francesca, Augusta and the volunteers were very organised and friendly. The massage included in the package is extremely healing. Lovely breakfast is prepared every morning by the volunteers and usually had a homemade bread which was nice. Side note, there is also a truck bakery nearby that has a stone oven inside a truck, if you would like to try their freshly baked goods!
I would highly recommend to anyone looking to re-energise alongside likeminded people, be close to nature and practise yoga as a first-timer or advanced, alike.

This establishment is run by two lovely couples who are very welcoming and happy karma helpers.
The location is a little out of the main town giving you more peace away from it all however they do provide daily transfer to and from the town which is really helpful. The beach is a 30 minute walk away although they do provide bikes just keep in mind it’s up hill on the way back! The Yoga was amazing having a variety and two very different teachers to giving you more knowledge and guidance. The surf lesson was a lot of fun I’m really glad I tried to achieve it on my last day! :-)
I have to say a special thanks to Felipe who was there helper through work away he truly made everyone’s experience so much more entertaining and enjoyable when the weather was so bad!
Thank you for such a wonderful stay, I will be back when the weather clears for sure!!

Francesca and the entire team make everything to ensure you are having a great time and feel at home. at Moka Surf House you will start your day with a great breakfast after an energizing yoga class - or your surf class - before relaxing on the sunny terrace or the confortable hammocks. unless you prefer to explore Ericeira with it´s great beaches and seafood restaurants (accessible by free transfer 2x/day, a short bus or uber ride). Moka Surf House is suitable for travelling as couple or alone - people are super nice and it´s easy to find company (unless you prefer not to ;)

"An incredible experience"
As a solo traveller from London, I was initially both anxious and excited about my stay at Moka, but it turned out to be an incredible experience. While on my to Ericeira by coach, I received a WhatsApp message from Augusta, one of the owners, asking what time I would arrive so that she could come collect me. This put me at ease and made a great first impression. Augusta took me on a tour of Moka, and introduced me to the guests who were very welcoming and became family for the next 4 days. I shared a room with three guests, taking one of the top bunks. I have never had a good experience sleeping in bunk beds, but this bed was fantastic, solid, no sway or creaking when turning at night. The mattress was nice and firm. I slept very well and asked the guests about their beds, and they all had the same feedback. I had one Vinyasa class with Moka’s resident instructor, which was crafted from wood and put together so well. The session wasn’t too intense but she put us through some new moves which was great. I also had one Yin class, which was less dynamic, more meditative, holding stretches for longer. Above all, the daily surf sessions were my favourite part of the stay. I discovered a new passion and incredible scenery. Floating on a surfboard, with the grand ocean behind you and early morning fog drifting over the cliff top onto the water was an amazing sight. Moka was very accommodating and I’m amazed at how they keep on top of everyone’s requirements.

Moka Surfhouse & Yoga Retreat is above and beyond! The place has stunning, big yurt in which yoga classes and meditations are held, there's also lovely, spacious garden with hammocks to chill in. Rooms are very simple but at the same time tidy and sufficient. Most importantly the yoga teacher (Dorotea) is really fantastic, she has lots of good energy and patience which is quite important for the beginners like me. There's also incredible massage included in the pack which was probably the best experience of this kind that I've ever had. Breakfasts are modest but filling and delicious vegan dinners are just another big advantages. All the people who work in the house are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who searches for peace, wants to develop their yoga skills and meet some great people from all around the world!

Everything was great ! The MokaSurfHouse is the perfect place to spend a day, a week or more in a little paradise. I felt like home, people have been so generous, kind and respectful. The yoga Teachers (Doroty and Sanna) were so professional as the Surf Teachers were. I've made so much progress in just one week thanks to them and their advices, their disponibility and passion for what they do. Also the helpfullness of the staff was just impressive, they are always here if needed. The food was delicious and vegetarian, breakfasts offer a lot of different choices, for everyone (salty, sweety, fresh juice, hot drinks, saja milk...). So I already think about coming back for another trip ! Thanks for all !

Moka Surfhouse is a hidden gem. It seems to attract kind hearted and welcoming people, and the staff are unbelievably friendly and supportive. A good mix of solo travellers, couples and groups of friends. Dorotea is a fantastic yoga instructor who manages to cater for beginners and advanced people in the same class with ease. Everyone who surfed commented on having excellent teaching in smaller groups (good teacher:student ratio) which helped to improve their skills. The local grocery store is minutes away and the bus into town is simple. Visit Ericeira for some wonderful grilled fish and drinks! Could not recommend this place enough!

"I would go back in a heart beat!"
I was so happy with my experience at Moka, from the pick up at the bus terminal until my drop off. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. They always made sure I knew my way around by showing me the bus stops, hiking trails, providing bikes for use and a free shuttle into Ericeara twice daily. The house is a short way out of Ericeira which makes it easy to get back and forth but also quiet and peaceful when you're at "home". I chose Moka specifically for the yoga classes offered but they had many suggestions to keep my days fun filled-surfing of course, paddle boarding, biking, hiking and beach time, there is definitely lots to do. Twice during my stay the staff cooked dinner for us and it was DELICIOUS. I was touched that they created a vegan version of everything they made for the guests who needed one, it was very considerate. The grounds are actually quite large so there's several different common areas to hang out. I found Moka to be very organized as well, which is great considering you're sharing a kitchen with many people.
On to the yoga. Dorotea is amazing! She's a very capable and knowledgeable instructor whose not afraid to make adjustments to your asanas. Her classes have the perfect combination of "kick-ass" workout and "mind-body connection". The schedule was really well planned as she had a good mix of Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Yin and Rocket-one of my favorites.
It was a really laid back atmosphere and I want to go back already! Thanks Moka :)

The hosts are extremely helpful and kind. There is always someone available to answer any question you may have. Everyone is friendly and althought I was travelling alone, I never felt left out. Also, the yoga is perfect! Dynamic in the morning and relaxing in the evening, I was delighted!

"A fantastically thought out camp"
We were a little anxious, especially my boyfriend as he only recently started yoga, but Dorotea was so good he loved it! The Shala is very pretty, the gardens peaceful and relaxing and you never feel like you’re on top of people. Our room was light and breezy and a pleasant sanctury. Everywhere was always clean and you could easily get the bus, a transfer or a taxi into town, though the supermarket was great so we ate at the hostel a fair bit. The food was the best we had in portugal! And the surf was fantastic. Despite it being an oddly cold week, the wetsuits were warm and I didn’t get cold in the water. The instructors were enthusiastic and very attentive, friendly and professional. We felt so rested at the end of our five days we hated leaving the place and the lovely friends that we made while there. Great atmosphere, great owners, everything just ran so smoothly. Can’t wait to go back!

"Au-delà de mes attentes :)"
Séjour juste exceptionnel malgré une météo un peu tristounette. Accueil et encadrement organisé, chaleureux, familial et personnel prenant soin de ses résidents.On se sent entouré tout en se sentant libre. La formule petit-déjeuner-2 dîners-cuisine à disposition est idéale. Les leçons tant de surf que de yoga sont très professionnelles ainsi que le massage. Et se balader le long des plages désertes et sur les falaises, à sentir les embruns est juste très ressourçant. Rencontres avec les résidents très enrichissantes :)

The location, staff, accommodation, food, yoga and massage were all wonderful:) Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but I still had a really enjoyable time and would definitely recommend it to friends, family and anyone interested in yoga, relaxation, surfing or simply taking some time out from your busy life. Thanks to all the Moka staff :)

"Super Relaxing Yoga Retreat"
We had a lovely time at Moka Surfhouse. Francesca and the staff were super friendly and helpful, before and during our trip. The (vegetarian) food was very good - top marks for the chef! I was also quite impressed that even though there were guests arriving and leaving nearly everyday, the staff managed it seamlessly and it wasn't disruptive at all - the whole vibe was super chilled and relaxing. The yurt where we did the yoga classes was great.

"Best place I have ever been to"
I wanted to spend a few days at a yoga retreat in Portugal, so I chose Moka Surfhouse and this was the best decision I have ever made. Since they also offer surfing I decided to book the 5 night surf and yoga package which includes every day breakfast, two dinners and one massage. The staff was very lovely and they made me feel at home from the first minute I got there. Francesca and Sean are amazing and they go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable. They also drive you to the nearest beaches and to Ericeira every day. The food is also very delicious and always fresh cooked. I love that everyone comes together at dinner time and eats and talks all night long. It´s a great way to meet new people and it feels like a big family. The surfclasses were a lot of fun and even though I have never done it before I felt very safe. The yoga classes were more than amazing. Dorotea is the best yoga teacher I have ever had. She has such a great energy and she made me forget everything else when I was in her class. I wish I could have stayed longer but I know I will be back soon!

The entire experience was just amazing!
Excellent surf lessons to help me learn how to surf, since I had never surfed before!
The yoga lessons were fantastic too, I felt pushed and invigorated in my practice in all the classes which were so relaxing and helped enhance my yoga poses!
THe food and staff were amazing too, they were always keen to help and offer advice regarding what to do in the daytime to ensure you got the best experience experience possible!
Would highly recommend to everyone I know, and look forward to coming back!

"An relaxing atmosphère and a great immersion within yoga"
Everything was perfect and crafted for us to feel great : from the warm welcome of our hosts, the amazing food, the cosy atmosphere, the nice spot to lounge in the garden... to the great yoga practices morning and night.
The place is walking distance from the beach and transfer are offered x2 to reach the main village. I was there alone and would recommend to do so to fully enjoy the disconnection and relaxation ! Will definitely come back.

"Wonderful yoga retreat!"
I just loved every bit and every minute of my stay. Yoga was fun, challenging and at the same time relaxing. Dorotea, the yoga teacher is not only charming and lovely but also excellent at what she's doing: in a very subtle way (without disturbing neither those who are given further advice on their asanas nor the rest of the group) she responds to the needs of beginners, intermediate as well as advanced yogis. The additional workshop (full rocket one master class) was also great fun (though I may have felt all of those muscles which I didn't know existed the next day :))
We booked an additional surf session with the cooperating surf school which was also great (diligent teachers, beautiful beach, and they actually enabled us to stand up on our boards the first day we tried..).
In a nutshell: I'd love to come again as soon as possible:) Thanks again to the lovely and very welcoming owners and staff!

"Awesome 8 days of Yoga & Surf"
The atmosphere at Moka is warm and friendly, the staff knows the names of every single guest and it felt like visiting friends.
The buidlings and the yard are lovingly furnished, fully equipped and clean, hammocks and lounge furniture are everywhere.
The included breakfast and dinner were arranged thoughtfully and delicious. Also the free transfers were organized very well.
About my surf & yoga package: I loved it.
Dorotea is an awesome yoga teacher, calm and friendly but sprightly and fun as well (in the free time). I really miss her voice, guiding me into yoga positions.
Carlos and Roberto from the Organic Surf School are extraordinary teachers as well, always giving individual feedback on how to improve, in a friendly and helpful way. And they are fun as well, I really had a great time!
Least but not last: the deep tissue massage by Monika really was amazing!
Moka truely works with selected, excellent and friendly people only.

"Amazing experience for a quick solo getaway"
Absolutely loved my experience at Moka - the yoga classes were phenomenal, and it was amazing to see my improvement over the 5 days I was there! Great for a solo female traveler - it very quickly felt like my home away from home. Close to public transport into Sintra - definitely worth a day trip there to see the palaces). All the staff were incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive to every request or need. The food was delicious as well, and a really great way to meet other people staying in the guesthouse. Couldn't have asked for a better trip - thank you so much for making it the perfect getaway!

"Schöner Urlaub, aber noch Luft nach oben"
Die Atmosphäre vor Ort ist entspannt und das Gelände ist wirklich sehr schön. Auch die Mischung aus Yoga und Surfen ist super. Die Anbieter achten sehr darauf, dass das Moka House sauber und gemütlich ist. Auch die Gäste sind fast alle super aufgeschlossen, offen und toll. Es ist leicht, neue Leute kennenzulernen. Auch die Mehrbettzimmer sind - obwohl klein - schön eingerichtet. Die Yogastunden sind vielleicht nicht super persönlich gehalten, aber sehr profesionell, fordernd und intensiv. Leute, die Yoga regelmäßig machen, kommen hier in jedem Fall auf ihre Kosten :) Die Surfschule, mit der das Moka House zusammenarbeitet, ist auch super. Der Shuttle zum Strand funktioniert einwandfrei, der Lehrer motiviert und unterstützt (besonders) Anfänger, sodass man schnell Erfolgserlebnisse hat! Von der sportlichen und menschlichen Seite kann ich das Moka House also sehr empfehlen.

"The week of the year!"
Our one week stay was perfect, over perfect if that is possible.
Since the first instance, the conversations with Francesca made our arrival easy and comfortable. During the whole week, their drop-off and pick-up to/from the beach and town allowed us to hang around happily, although we also enjoyed just staying at Moka, reading at the hammocks under the sun!
The building, amenities and whole environment around the house are a delight. It is not just beautiful, it is welcoming. The Moka crew has built up a space in which in just one day you can feel like home, and that is reflected in the great way everyone relates to each other.
The breakfasts and the dinners were just tempting and delicious ... incredible Italian dinners!
In our case, we booked a full yoga retreat - with two daily classes plus an incredible massage. The yoga classes were thoughtful and really well led. For someone with little practice, the first days felt like happy pins-and-needles and by the end of the week, it just felt like better postures, better muscles, and much happier soul. In addition, I adventure to some horse riding, which was actually really cool and with a local feeling. And even when we did not think in joining surfing we are reconsidering it now, as everyone seemed to really enjoy it and to feel a truthful connection with the ocean and all that surfing means.
For two people, embedded in the overpopulated, never stopping, city drama, this week was paradise for our bodies and minds.

Les hôtes et hôtesses étaient très accueillant-e-s, très gentil-le-s. Avant le voyage Moka house était réactif à mes messages. Arrivée sur place, l'un des propriétaires Furio a pris le temps de m'expliquer le fonctionnement de l'établissement, les divers lieux, etc. Une personne bienveillante. Les cours de yoga se sont bien déroulés, les différentes formes de yoga proposées permettaient d'avoir une pratique éclectique et diversifiée, on ne s'ennuie pas. Une bonne entente avec le personnel, avec les voyageur-ses, un petit havre de paix. Je reviendrai c'est certain.

"A wonderful family run retreat with beautiful yoga teacher!"
Moka is a very relaxed and wonderful place to be. The 2 couples that run the house and activities are genuine, friendly, incredibly helpful people. They have made the place seem like you are at home! Dorotea who runs the yoga classes is amazing, she teaches a range of styles and is very passionate about what she teaches. She makes any level of yogi feel welcome and has the ability to make modifications for those that need it. She creates a very calming and positive environment to practice yoga. She is also does the massages, the best I have ever had!
This place isn't luxury, and not what I wanted, it is simple, clean and a chance to meet some of the nicest people. They provide a shuttle to the beach everyday, approx 10mins drive away. A super market is 30seconds away and a few restaurants. I highly recommend the organised dinner and breakfast is simple but generous!
I would love to return!!! The staff are all wonderful and friendly!

"Amazing and rejuvenating - PERFECT."
The owners and staff of Moka House have created a very special place. A place that was quiet and relaxing, but still provided a fun and playful atmosphere.
The accommodations are simple, clean, and comfortable. There's a little whimsy and romance in each room of the house. The outdoor living spaces are unique. welcoming, and calming, each providing a space to enjoy the outdoors and time to yourself if that's what you need.
The meals were also simple and delicious. The continental breakfasts with a daily breakfast box was definitely one of my favourites. I looked forward to it every morning. The homemade suppers were also good. The servings are large that I always ended up having extra for the next day. This was a great value to me.
The yoga schedule was great! It provided a nice mix of different yoga practices. Dorortea is an experienced yogi with a cheerful smile and a great spirit. She was flexible with the schedule and didn't mind doing a different practice if asked.
The owners are GREAT people. One of them was always at the house during business hours and all of them are friendly people. Spending time with them and getting to know them was wonderful. The same can be said for the rest of the in-house staff. David and Alice were super friendly, approachable, helpful, and also a pleasure to get to know.
Though it's not in Ericeira, Moka House provides a daily transfer to and from town. It's only 10 minutes away! There is also a city bus that you can take and the bus stop is a 3 min walk from the house! It's EASY and ACCESSIBLE so you're able to go back and forth to the main village.
I HIGHLY recommend going to Moka for yoga and surf. It's an AMAZING place! I would go there again, for sure.

"A special jewel in the hills of Ericeira"
Moka is a very special place tucked up in the hills of Ericeira. From the moment that I was picked up at the stop in town to the final good byes, I am so grateful for the time that I spent there. Highlights start with the incredible warmth of the entire staff, every single one of them. Then there was the daily yoga, multiple chit chats in their lovely courtyard, walks to/along the beach, the soothing waves of the ocean, dinners al fresco in the setting of the Portuguese villa that the super talented Moka team created and continue to develop. For someone who was heading out solo (a little hesitantly) on a quest for sun, some activity and the possibilities of meeting new people, I sure did score. I can't wait to return. Thank you for the amazing getaway. Wishing you the very best if the season. Thank you!
