Moka Surf House & Yoga Retreat

Ho passato 7gg ad Ericeira in questa bella surfhouse, in Moka ho trovato un servizio ottimo sotto tutti gli aspetti, il clima è veramente rilassato e rilassante.||Una fantastica jurta permette di poter fare stretching oppure potete affidarvi ad una insegnate di yoga che tiene lezioni tutti i giorni.||Il surf è stato molto buono grazie anche all'esperienza dei proprietari, simpatici e disponibili, che mi hanno fatto scoprire i vari spot della zona.||Moka Surfhouse è da provare, non servono altre parole!||A presto :)

Visitámos este espaço onde se respira o surf.||Pranchas, fatos, toalhas, havaianas, e tudo o que mais possa estar ligado á comunidade surfista.||Tudo se vê espalhado,pendurado,a secar...||Quase fica a vontade de nos associarmos a experimentar esta aventura desportiva de mar.||E porque não..?

Its very clean and the yoga classes where awesome and the whole House has a good Atmosphere. But its in a little village called baleia 6km away from ericeira and they said in their page they offer free shuttles. Well Yes but just twice a day and NO shuttles back. So i would recommend to rent a car. The next beach is 3 km away (40min walk) so be prepared for this. And you cant go by Bike to ericeira. The mainroad is to dangerous. You dont have much contact with the owners they only cared about me when it was something about paying. I was a bit sad. There is Beautiful Landscape you can Discover around baleia... Another Girl discovered a Mountainbike Track and they didnt even know or recommend Activities around that are free. The only staff you met all the time was the volunteers. The American and the Dutch where really nice and communicating but the other two where unfriendly and i had the feeling they let the other girls do all the housekeeping Work. When we went surfing there was only one surfschool (us) and they were right next to us ... One of them barely surfed into me. Well everything is good nothing happend but Common. Arent they the staff? At least they could say Hello and tell us why they been so close to us. All of this had a bit of a bitter Taste and. I would still recommend if you like being outside... But if you are an active person and dont want to spend money on tours prepare yourself.

Vraiment pas propre! A éviter

Don't go here if you want surfing. It was 90% yoga, 10% surfing. Surfing lessons were disappointing, did not accomodate to experience and did not put effort into arranging the best experience

Excellents cours de yoga, professeurs de haut niveau et très bienveillants : )||La débutante que je suis a pu suivre 2 cours de yoga par jour, avec beaucoup de plaisir, pendant 5 jours. ||La yourte dans laquelle se déroule les cours est un véritable hâvre de paix et de sérénité.||Mon logement en chambre individuelle était cosy et agréablement décoré.||Toute l'équipe est super sympa, zen et toujours de bonne humeur.

Sono stato 5 notti alla Moka Surf House per fare la mia seconda esperienza di surf. L'ambiente è semplice, genuino ma molto accogliente, dove poter conoscere ragazzi provenienti da tutto il continente. I ragazzi della Moka ti fanno subito sentire a casa. Facilmente raggiungibile con i taxi Uber o usufruendo delle mountain bike gratuite della casa. Il servizio navetta messo a disposizione per il surf è eccellente in termini di puntualità. Colazione variegata e cene ottime preparate dal cuoco Davide. Ho partecipato ad una lezione yoga, ottima la preparazione delle insegnanti. Soggiornato in un ambiente tranquillo e con tutti i servizi a disposizione.

A PERFECT place ! I loved the mood, the people I met. Yoga teachers are all very very nice. The house is beautiful. Like one of the staff team said to me, this is the perfect "holiday for the soul

Thank you. Quality yoga lessons. Food delicious. Super nice staff

Exceptionnel ! C’est la deuxième fois que j’y vais et c’est toujours un immense plaisir de profiter du lieu, des cours, du personnel très sympathique et la nourriture|Une belle expérience que je renouvellerai !

Gorgeous place, people and vibe ✨️

We hebben echt een topweek gehad. Het eten dat verzorgd wordt, is heerlijk, alles is goed geregeld en je hoeft nergens over na te denken. We hebben genoten van het surfen en de persoonlijke aandacht die je krijgt + de yogalessen in de super mooie yurt. Samen met een vriendin in de 3-persoonskamer met eigen badkamer verbleven, echt een aanrader! We komen graag nog een keer terug :)

Ho passato una meravigliosa vacanza al Moka Surf&Yoga Retreat. Posto incantevole su una collina di Ericeira. Tutto lo staff molto accogliente e altamente qualificato. Lezioni di surf accurate anche per principianti e pratica yoga due volte al giorno guidate con grande sapienza. Cucina vegetariana squisita. E' un posto in cui ti senti immediatamente a casa ma niente è lasciato al caso. Sono rientrata con una forte carica di energia positiva e una dolce sensazione di essere stata coccolata. CONSIGLIATO FORTEMENTE. Tornerò quando mi sarà possibile.

Laid back guest house run by good people with many facilities and services available, located nearby to Ericeira's most funky pizza restaurant and one of Ericeira's best beaches São Julião. Boa!!!

Amazing. Super friendly people making you feel as family. Don’t hesitate, go for it. You won’t regret it. Unique experience.

we loved our stay at Moka. The staff, room and food were amazing 😍

Fare una vacanza in Moka è divertente e rilassante allo stesso tempo. Si possono fare tante attività diverse o riposarsi, conoscere persone nuove o godersi una giornata in solitudine, visitare il territorio o semplicemente staccare da tutto.||I ragazzi sono bravissimi nel rendere tutto semplice e farti sentire a casa in ogni momento.||Consigliato a chi vuole fare per la prima volta una vacanza da solo ma è titubante, è l'esperienza che fa per voi!

Trotz Covid-19 Bedingungen war es einfach toll! Alle sind super nett, man kann sich sehr wohlfühlen. |Die Yoga-Stunden und die Auswahl der Lehrer sind super gut. |Die Räumlichkeiten sind alle sehr gemütlich und mit Liebe gestaltet. |Würden jederzeit wieder kommen 😍

This place is pure magic. Yoga classes are beyond great, with lots of different styles and teachers to learn from which significantly helped me deepen my practise. The place really invites you to unwind and be flooded by the love the owners and volunteers are putting in this. Wait for the breakfast - it's the best EVER! better than in most high class hotels I stayed in. And dinner is also really really nice. While I came for the yoga, I still went for a surf which I can highly recommend, the school and instructor we went with was great. Really good place to meet likeminded souls and have a very memorable stay. Will definitely be back.

Auch wenn ich nur drei Übernachtungen in Moka hatte, würde ich behaupten, dass es eines der schönsten Urlaubsunterkünfte ist, in denen ich je war. Eine wunderbare Stimmung, in der alle Gäste zu einer Gruppe wurden, gemeinsam gegessen und Yoga gemacht und sich kennengelernt haben. Alle Mitarbeitenden sind herzlich und aufgeschlossen und versuchen den Aufenthalt für jeden so schön wie möglich zu gestalten. Die Massage war ein super Highlight und die Mischung aus ganz unterschiedlichen Yoga-Ausirhcutngen hat die Kurse abwechslungsreich und interessant gestaltet. Ein ganz besonderer, wunderbarer Ort!

Amazing amazing amazing. There are not enough great things I can say about Mola surf house. The staff and volunteers make you feel among family and the other guests are friendly and bring in that added element to a retreat. Many come for either surf or yoga and end up doing both and the staff makes it super accommodating to add classes. I will definitely be back and recommend a stay here to everyone.

Went to Moka for a yoga retreat, amazing experience. Met lovely people, ate delicious food, yoga lessons were great and I simply loved chilling in the hammock in the orchard. Highly recommend

We loved staying here! The vibe was great, everyone we met was down to earth and friendly. The food was delicious and healthy and the grounds were really peaceful. The surfing was fun and the yoga yurt was peaceful as well. I miss it already!!!

Heaven on earth! When it comes to finding a serene retreat, this is THE ultimate destination. The staff members are incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring a warm and welcoming environment. The cleanliness of the place surpassed my expectations, allowing me to fully relax and unwind. The yoga classes offered were absolutely transformative, leaving me with a profound sense of well-being. The surfing lessons were top-notch and left me feeling exhilarated. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a more perfect week away ❤️

Moka was the perfect place for my personal mindfulness retreat. The staff are extremely friendly, the food is great, as are the yoga classes. The courtyard is a haven, and reading under the big rubber tree was a real place for healing. The location is perfect too, and one can have a very beautiful walk from Moka, via Praia de São Julião to downtown Ericeira,

Had a wonderful time at Moka, it feels like home. The massage was sublime, the yoga is wonderful and all the volunteers do their very best to make sure you enjoy your time there. One of the only places where it felt like they really put their guests before profits.

Moka was a beautiful spot to surf and do yoga for a few days. All of the yoga instructors were wonderful, and I enjoyed taking beginner surf lessons which were fun and accessible.||The included breakfast and dinner were incredible!!! ||It was great for a solo traveler since there were several others there to meet and hangout, and everyone was really nice and looking for equally relaxing time. I told myself I’d never stay in a shared room again after some hostel nightmares, but everyone here was quiet and respectful after hours. ||I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a relaxing stay away from any noise of the town center. It’s a 10 min drive outside the town, and they provide free shuttle service twice a day, and Ubers are very cheap (less than €5 each way). I liked being further away to be in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Posto meraviglioso, persone incredibili, esperienza che rifaremmo tutti gli anni se potessi averne l'occasione. Al termine della vacanza ci siamo sentiti completamente ricaricati. Non saprei scegliere se è stato meglio fare surf o yoga, entrambi spettacolari in tutti i loro aspetti. Grazie di tutto <3

I loved my stay at Moka from start to finish! They picked me up from Ericeira bus station, I arrived at the most charming little retreat at the top of the hill. There is a lovely courtyard communal area and kitchenette where we also had our meals. |I had the Yoga package and had Yoga in a beautiful Yurt in the gardens with a view of the sea! |There were options for other activities too, surfing, horseriding, forest bathing and rock climbing. I didn’t have too much time so I went on a beautiful walk with stunning scenery allong the cliffs, to the beach and the close by toen of Ericeira. |An amazing 1 hour massage was included in the package! |The accommodation was spotless, regularly cleaned every day, the bed was comfortable and although sharing with others was made private with little curtains and reading lamp. |Bathrooms clean and nice and lovely hot showers. |Food was amazing! Healthy and delicious breakfast and dinner! |I totally came to rest at Moka and was so well looked after by Francesca and Augusta. It’s a little heaven! I will definitely return again :-)

Excellent service. Before the trip, they were very communicative and responsive to any questions that I had.|Throughout the stay, they were extremely friendly, supportive and helpful.|The yoga was great - really good instructors with a nice variety of types of yoga throughout my 3-night stay.|The surfing was done by Ericeira Surf School who come and pick you up from Moka and drive about 10-15 minutes away to the beach. The instructors were very pleasant, supportive and patient - even with a middle-aged beginner like myself. It’s hard though!|The food was terrific - creative and innovative vegetarian dishes served for breakfast and evening dinner.

I booked a 6days/5nights Yoga and surf package at Moka, beginning of April 2024.|I went there from Lisbon airport by Uber (35€)|I was traveling solo, for the first time and I was a little worried both traveling alone and at Moka but I wasn't disappointed one bit! It was amazing!||- The place/room : |The place and the people were simple and nice. |The room was clean, equipped with safe locker (bring your own padlock!) and curtains on each bed for privacy. The mattress was ok.|There is shared bathrooms, but I never had to queue to access it.|I was there during low season and out of 5 nights, my room was full (4 beds) only 1 night. The rest of the time, we were either 2 or 3 max to share.|The diner were varied, vegetarian, healthy and always good.|People were coming and going every day, so you get to meet new people daily, which is nice. People from all age, nationality, style, solo but also duo travellers, a good mix. Only nice people :) And you don't feel any pressure to socialise if you want to stay on your own.|Also, big crush for the "garden" with the hammocks, that is so nice, peaceful and great to chill and take the sun during the day.||-The location :|I hesitated a long time before Moka and another surfhouse located in the center of Ericeira, but I don't regret my choice. Being a bit far away from the crowd feels very nice and more relaxing. You are also surrounded by nature, and trails that are nice to take to discover the nature around.|The shuttle is also helpful if you need to go to/get picked up from Ericeira or the beach. There is also the local buses and Uber/bolt (very cheap). So you never feel stuck over there, which I was a bit scared of while booking.|Also, because you are high on the hill, you get nice viewpoint and can get a nice spot to look at the sunset from the surfhouse.||- Surf : |Even if I said I was pre-intermediate/intermediate, I was together with beginners (probably because it was low season and there was not enough people to split per group of level). But anyways, all 3 classes were great. We were very small groups each time. You get picked up at Moka, they provide everything you need (wetsuit, shoes, board) and the teacher are very nice and passionated -most of them are born here-).| |- Yoga :|I'm pretty beginner at Yoga, but I loved every single class I've been too. The teacher are very nice, gentle, they adapt to the class and to the people. I discovered new type of yoga I never tried before. |Have the class in the yurt is also amazing, especially the evening classes, when the sun has warmed up the room during the day.||- Staff :|The staff is very nice, always helpful, with great (whatsapp) communication.|I forgot some belongings in my room on my last day, and they offered to post it for me, which I really appreciate.||All and all I had the best time at Moka, with a good mix of wandering, activities, chill, social but also alone time, nature and city. It was great and I would recommend it 200%.||Thank you Moka <3

Je suis venue seule pour quelques jours. J’ai vraiment apprécié les cours de yoga, les professeurs sont très à l’écoute, encore plus si vous débutez. Les cours de yoga ont lieur dans une yourte, c’est vraiment une belle ambiance. |Le staff est très accueillant et toujours disponible ! La nourriture servie au surfhouse est juste incroyable, Franco est le cuisinier et chaque jour les plats étaient plus qu’excellents ! |Il y a une zone pour profiter du soleil à l’arrière des chambres, c’est vraiment un endroit magnifique. Il faut compter environ 10 minutes en voiture jusqu’à Ericeira (5€ environ en uber), mais l’auberge propose aussi un bus qui descend en ville chaque jour à des horaires définis. |Je recommande vivement ce surfhouse, j’y ai rencontré des personnes formidables et reviendrais sans hésiter ! :))

I spent 5 nights on October in Moka and I really enjoyed that time. I chose yoga package. There were two yoga classes daily. The teachers were really engaged. The yoga class at the morning was intensive and the evening class was more relaxing. Practising yoga in the yurt was an interesting experiance. I didn’t have any surfing lesson so I can not tell anything about it. Moka serves breakfasts and dinners which are included in price. It is Italian cusine. There was even a cake for the breakfast everyday. There was also a massage included in the package. The dorms were clean and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The nearest beach and the center of Ericiera are not so close if you want to go there walking. But Moka also offers a shuttle bus to Ericeria and to the beach at scheduled time. I really recommend Moka especially for people who travel alone. It is a good place to meet nice people and have some time to relax :)

A moka surfhouse ho passato 10 giorni bellissimi! il posto è molto bello e ben tenuto, inoltre si incontrano persone stupende: gli altri ospiti, i volontari di moka e i responsabili. Sono sempre tutti estremamente disponibili per qualsiasi richiesta e sanno sempre consigliare ottimi posti da visitare, spiagge da vedere, posti dove mangiare. È stata una fortuna trovare questo luogo e passarci le vacanze.

Wunderschöne Erfahrung! Tolles Team. Gutes Essen. Die Stimmung ist sehr entspannt. Wir haben viele Menschen kennengelernt. Man bekommt viel Unterstützung von den Yoga-Lehrern. Alle sind sehr freundlich.

I really enjoyed my time at Moka. I did the yoga retreat of 6 days, so two times a day yoga. The lessons were great! There are several instructors, all of them very good and professional. So the lessons are very diverse and never boring. |I loved the food, really excellent!|The location is good, I specially like the nearby beach of São Julião . Also worth visiting is the Mafra Palace and the old part of Ericeira. I also did some nice walks on the cliffs. |The accommodation is in good condition and clean. I took the cheapest option, in a shared 4 bed-room,which was okay, but a bit small. |The stay in Moka is a very good option if you're alone, you can find good company if you want, but there's also enough space to be alone and relax. |||

Everything is arranged for you here, amazing relaxing atmosphere. Wonderful people, delicious breakfast. Would come back

Das Team vom Moka Surfhouse, die Organisation und die Anlage haben mir unglaublich gut gefallen. Man hat sich direkt gut aufgehoben gefühlt. |Das Abendessen war wirklich ein Traum. Jedes Gericht war mega lecker und ausgewogen.||Ich würde jederzeit wieder dahin! ☺️🙏🏼

I came back to London after 4 days really feeling energised and determined to do more yoga. The food is good and rooms are clean. Nice beach and bikes available. Staff really nice. A really good place to have a well deserved break.

Really relaxing location, top quality yoga and surf classes, great walks to the beach, delicious food and extremely friendly staff and guests. Everything was really clean and communication from the guesthouse was excellent! I felt relaxed immediately and it was the perfect place to unwind.

Thank you Moka! I had an amazing time and met some wonderful people. The combination with surf and yoga is absolutely perfect. Say a big thank you to your yoga teachers who are very passionate about what they do and to your volunteers who make Moka a cozy place to stay! 🙋🏻‍♀️

I stayed 3 nights at Moka Surfhouse for a yoga retreat! The experience was absolutely incredible! All of the staff was so kind and welcoming. I let them know I was celebrating my birthday during my stay and on my birthday they had a cake with a sign for me at breakfast. The meals were fantastic and the yoga was so refreshing. Will definitely be returning!

Absolutely incredible surf and yoga retreat. The place is even nicer than in pictures, great vibe, super friendly management, had the best time. Food was great, too.

Meine Frau und ich haben eine fantastische Woche im Mokka Surf-House verbracht. Die Lage des Hostels ist ideal – ruhig und entspannend, und dennoch in unmittelbarer Nähe zu einem empfehlenswerten Restaurant. Es ist der perfekte Ort, um dem hektischen Stadtleben zu entfliehen und zur Ruhe zu kommen.||Wir hatten insgesamt 5 Surf-Stunden, die von sehr erfahrenen und engagierten Lehrern durchgeführt wurden. Besonders positiv aufgefallen ist uns, dass die Lehrer auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse jedes Einzelnen eingegangen sind, was uns enorm geholfen hat, unsere Fähigkeiten zu verbessern. Die Gruppengröße hätte jedoch etwas kleiner sein können, um noch intensivere Betreuung zu ermöglichen.||Zusätzlich haben wir täglich eine Yoga-Stunde besucht, die eine wunderbare Ergänzung zum Surfen war. Die Lehrer waren ebenfalls hervorragend, und die Yoga-Stunden haben perfekt dazu beigetragen, unsere Muskeln nach dem Surfen zu entspannen und uns wieder zu erden.||Unser Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad war sauber und komfortabel, und auch wenn es keine luxuriöse Ausstattung war, hat es vollkommen ausgereicht, um sich wohlzufühlen. Besonders erwähnenswert ist das hervorragende Essen im Surf-House. Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Abendessen waren von ausgezeichneter Qualität, auch wenn die Auswahl klein war – dafür umso besser in der Zubereitung.||Das Personal war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir fühlten uns sofort wie in einer großen Familie. Diese familiäre Atmosphäre zog sich auch durch den Rest des Hauses – die anderen Gäste waren offen und freundlich, und es herrschte eine tolle Stimmung im gesamten Hostel.||Leider blieb uns aufgrund unseres straffen Programms wenig Zeit, die weiteren Aktivitäten wie Reiten oder SUP auszuprobieren, aber das Angebot sah sehr vielversprechend aus.||Insgesamt können wir das Mokka Surf-House uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden definitiv wieder hier buchen. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub!||Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team!

Wat een prachtige , geweldige ervaring 🥰 Ontzettend veel gelachen en genoten van de geweldige mensen en de prachtige locatie en ook nog eens top yoga en surf lessen. Fantastisch!

What a warm, friendly, supportive atmosphere, created by our hosts, the volunteers, our yoga teachers and the ladies, treating us with their healing hands in the package included massages. A serene place to really retreat, relax and meet like minded people. Moka, we miss you already.
