Oasis Backpackers Hostel Sintra Surf

What did I like? Everything! The staff were super helpful, the place has everything you need, even when I was staying outside peak season. I think it was Neisha (sorry can't remember/spell her name) who checked me in and explained the yoga schedule. She showed me to my room and made me feel really welcome. She also gave excellent advice on where to prioritise in Sintra town (She was right, Quinta da Regaleira and Monserrate Palace are beautiful!) It is a perfect spot to stay if you are planning to hike the coast as I did. Really recommend! You can walk from the hostel. Start at Praia Grande do Rodizio and hike up into the Parque Ecologico da Adraga e praia grande. The path turns to a more rugged path after a while - but you can get all the way to the Lighthouse with spectacular views. The coastal path is closed beyond the lighthouse due to erosion, but that is already a fairly long hike to the lighthouse. You can easily get a reasonable uber back home for 10-15 euros. I stayed in a double room which was clean, spacious, and had character. Hammocks in the trees and one night heard a tawny owl outside! Super food options on site - Thai, amazing sushi and wood fired oven pizza to name a few. It even has a MUSA craft beer pub inside a water tower - all 2 mins away from the accommodation. It is really lovely. Big thanks also to Pedro Morais the yoga instructor - there is a lovely studio on site. lots of classes that you can book via the reception. He made me feel so welcome and even remembered my name the second time I attended class. Really friendly locals too - lovely lovely place! Thank you guys for a wonderful stay!

couldnt swim when I was there as the waves were too high, but it was still very cool to be able to walk to the beach from the hostel and witness the power of the sea!

Loved the the staff, cleanliness, and surf/yoga lessons.

Access to toilets was a bit difficult. The one in our building was not enough sometimes.

Lage sehr gut

Badezimmer

Good restaurants, very friendly staff, good location.

The room is big, it is so pitty that when there is so much space that it is not used- miss table, chairs, electric kettles…. We visit 6 accomadion in Portugal this is the most expensive and it’s for backpackers.
