Omassim exceeded all of our expectations! The yoga was perfectly tuned to suit all beginner & more advanced levels. As it was my first immersive yoga experience, I was a bit timid but Lia was the perfect instructor!
The accommodation was well thought and provided for enough socialisation. The delicious & lovingly prepared vegetarian food and the extra perks like massages and group activities struck a nice balance.
We also partook in the surfing classes offered by Joana & her team at Progress Surf School. We cannot commend them enough for consistently persevering with us and getting us to stand up on the surfboards in the funnest way possible.
Finally, we met the loveliest & most enthusiastic people on the retreat.
Thank you Lia, Eduardo and the rest of the Omassim team for your hard work!!
We'll be sure to return to Ribamar soon
Omassim is a true passion project. Lia and Eduardo managed to create a beautiful place in many respects: The location is very nice and peaceful – the atmosphere is genuinely welcoming - and the vegetarian food was creative, fresh, full of variety and tasted amazing. There were plenty things to do - both in groups or individually – catering for all preferences and moods. We tried out Lia’s/Macy’s yoga classes and the surf classes organised by Joana and colleagues. All classes were adjusted to all levels and we enjoyed them tremendously. You could clearly see that everyone at Omassim and the surf school truly enjoyed what they were doing and was keen to pass on their enthusiasm.
We provide Airport Transfers from and to Lisbon and they can be booked in the booking steps.

Ribeira d´Ilhas
Level: All Levels
This wave is the most well to known wave of the region. There are several peaks in the bay of Ribeira d ´Ilhas. They are all right handers and there can be found a wave suitable for each level. The bottom is rocky but the waves break in deep water. The waves are known for their length and can be surfed on all tides. It is good to surf here in our company because it gets pretty crowded. Ribeira D´Ilhas is the third wave of the reserve.
Matadouro
Level: All Levels
Matadouro is located just north of Praia do Norte (and Ericeira) in front of the skate park. It consists of multiple peaks. The main break is a right hander on the north side of the bay. More to the south, you are also able to find some lefts.

With so much choice you'll feel like a kid in a sweet shop! The area was introduced in the Stormriders Surf Guide to Europe with the heading "Enter the Heartland".
World Surf Reserve
In 2011 it was awarded the title of 'World Surf Reserve', there are only 2 other places in the world that share the title: Santa Cruz, US and Manly, Australia.
If it is your first surfing holiday to Ericeira then head straight to Foz do Lizandro and Sao Juliao beaches south of town, they are perfect beginner and intermediate surf spots. Closer to town is Praia do Sul. Another great beginner beach breaks. All best at mid tide but surfable at high and low tide also.
For Intermediates you have the reliable and safe reef break Ribeira d'Ilhas, which host the WSL World qualifying series surf championships every year. And for the more adventurous you have the world class Coxos. That's just naming a few, there are too many surf breaks to mention here!
Don't forget to explore further up the coast - 25 minutes away is Santa Cruz and an hour away is Peniche, home to the World renowned Supertubos and host of the Rip Curl Pro since 2009. 30 minutes south of Lisbon is the Cascais coast with the famous Praia do Guincho surf beach. And when north winds are blowing you can venture further south towards Carcevelos beach and the other surf spots along the Lisbon coast.
