Join Omassim's handcrafted Adventure and Yoga holidays combining daily Vinyasa flow and restorative yoga classes with super exciting activities, in the beautiful surroundings of Ericeira World Surf Reserve. Come and enjoy mountain biking, walking in the beautiful nature, while nourishing your body, heart, and soul. You will indulge in delicious vegetarian buffet style meals, relax in the hammocks next to a pool, and enjoy a rejuvenating full body massage. Omassim guesthouse exudes a sense of cozyness and welcoming-ness the minute you arrive: open view over the hills, colorful accommodation – just the perfect backdrop to deepen your yoga practice.
Omassim Guest House (two houses) is an oasis of bright, homely accommodation, located in a quiet and lovely residential area in the small village of Palhais, Ericeira with an open view over the surrounding green hills.
Omassim Gueshouse can accommodate 20 guests with two-bed, three-bed, and five-bed rooms including one bunk bed. All bathrooms are shared. The dining and living room are the perfect meeting point to take breakfast, read a book, or on cold days enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. You will relax and enjoy the peaceful nature, soak up the sun next to the swimming pool (not heated) in its lovely garden, or feast on the delicious vegetarian menu.
Ericeira charming Fishertown is about four kilometers south walking distance away, the next beach (Ribeira dIlhas) is reachable in about 20 minutes walk in the beautiful nature reserve with stunning, breathtaking views. Single occupancy is available for a supplementary charge.
Omassim was closed during the lock-down and re-opened on the 15th June. During the lock-down period, Omassim participated in online training to learn about the new measures that are required to make our place as safe as possible for our wonderful guests. We received the Certification and the Badge: Clean and safe. We have reduced our capacity to 50 percent so there is much more space. Bathrooms are shared with only one other person (in the shared bedrooms).
We have increased the frequency of cleaning common spaces as well as bathrooms and there will always be disinfectant sprays, alcohol gel and disinfectant soap available. Guests are welcome to bring their own personal disinfection utilities too. Whatever works well for you.
At breakfast, lunch and dinner times, guests are individually served by members of our staff. We have an impressive buffet of healthy food available. We maintain a distance of 1.50 meters between each table during these times. In the common spaces all our guests are asked to wear masks (this is the measure for now) and we will see how the situation unfolds with COVID-19.
We might need to divide the group for the yoga practice. For now, the recommended distance for people in the yoga shala is 3 meters, this means we only can accept 6 people practicing yoga in the yoga shala. We will find a good solution for this, but we just want to mention that we might need to offer 4 yoga classes per day and people can choose the one they prefer.
We are located in a small residential area called Palhais, 10 minutes’ walk from the famous beach Ribeira d´Ilhas, 15 minutes’ walk to Ribamar, a small village with a few cafés. The nature reserve has nice walks along the coastline and is a safe place to enjoy stunning views and beautiful nature. People are allowed to go into cafés and shops but wearing a mask is a necessity. We have beautiful beaches here, close by. The highlight of Omassim guesthouse is that we are next to the nature reserve and it is safe to go to a small beach without meeting too many people. We also have a saltwater swimming pool and a garden to soak up the sun and relax in the deck-chairs.
For our surfers: If you already have a wetsuit then it is recommended to bring your own. If you do not have a wetsuit, don't worry! The surfing school will provide a wetsuit for you for your entire stay, they will mark it, wash it and it will be only you using it for the time of your stay.
You can control your body temperature with our touch-free thermos any time you wish. Following the law, we prepared one room as an isolation/quarantine room for people who feel unwell and there is a strict protocol to follow.
Enjoy your stay in Omassim Guesthouse. Whether you are seeking a wellness break or a more active vacation - additional wellness treatments and activities like surfing lessons, walking, and mountain biking trips or creative evening events can be arranged. Create beautiful memories and let Omassim be one of them!
Depending on your arrival day, you will be able to enjoy max 12 yoga classes per week:
There will also be meditation meeting (30 minutes) before evening yoga class (no meditation on Saturdays and dinner-out-day).
Yoga is for everyone, so you do not need to be an aficionado, nor to be in top form. Each class includes the practice of pranayama (breathing exercises), asanas (seat, posture) and savasana (relaxation at the end of the class). The morning classes will be the Vinyasa Flow, a gentle practice of Hatha yoga which focuses on the synchronization of the breath (prana) with the postures (asanas). It is a dance of the asanas always in connection with breathing to calm the mind.
Let the breath be your guide to liberate your mind and increase your inner peace, harmony, love and joy. Practicing yoga will help to harmonize the nervous system, increase the sense of balance of body and mind and strengthens the lymphatic system.
Traditionally the evening classes are more soft, slow, restorative or yin yoga to integrate the day and prepare for a great rest for the night. Let yourself emerge into the flow of your yoga practice. Enjoy the breathing, and relax deeply your body, muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints and also your mind. Let yourself lead your own breath through a class full of regeneration, recreation, and calm.
In this package, you have the option to choose one of the following adventurous activities: 2 mountain bike tours OR 2 SUP Tours OR 2 surfing lessons.
In her yoga classes Lia tries to support the increase of physical flexibility and strength to transform it into inner strength, to gain trust, harmony, inner alignment and joy. She speaks fluent German, English, or Portuguese and can run classes in any of these three languages depending on the participants.
Eduardo is one of Omassim’s owners and he is definitely a box full of surprises. His mind is always wandering for knowledge, and so not only he replenishes our bellies with the most fulfilling dishes by being the head chef of our vegetarian/vegan kitchen, but also he is now our Kettlebell trainer in our NEW fitness package. He has more than 15 years experience, has had many Kettlebell trainings and specializations and his passion for Fitness is what thrives him to do it everyday and passing on the message to others that our body is our temple.
