Behappy Lodge & Brunch

We're a family-run business originally from the town, so we'll provide to the volunteers the most local experience with the opportunity to taste portuguese homemade food, to contact with local people and to engage with the portuguese culture.
We're located in a peaceful non-touristic beach town with a great surf vibe and surrounded by natural spots where people can relax and disconnect. This is also a fishermen area, where you'll see a fishing community around and, if you like, taste some fresh fish and seafood.

The staff at Behappy is like family! There's not many formalisms and we strive for a good and friendly work environment, but always with professionalism and responsability. So as a volunteer, you can expect a great welcome and to be treated like part of the family, but of course willing to work and treat the customers with lots of hospitality and a frienldy mood.

Esta foi minha primeira experiência com o worldpackers e foi incrível! Primeiramente, Esmoriz é uma vila bem pequena, então é o lugar perfeito para relaxar e se conectar com a cultura local. O BeHappy fica bem na frente de uma praia linda e muito gostosa. O trabalho é tranquilo, normalmente conseguia acabar tudo na parte da manhã e tinha o resto do dia todo para aproveitar a cidade. O BeHappy não é um party hostel, mas ainda sim é bem sociável e conheci muita gente incrível trabalhando lá. A Francisca é uma ótima anfitriã, sempre querendo ajudar com qualquer coisa. Só tenho a agradecer!

My stay at BeHappy was the first one I did via the Worldpackers platform and I can only recommend it immensely! Maria and Francisca are the most amazing, warm and kind people who will always make sure you feel comfortable, no matter if it comes to work or your time off. It felt more like working with friends than anything else and I will always hold the experience dear to my heart. :))
The amount of work was just as described, mainly setting up breakfast in the morning and afterwards do some housekeeping, keeping your whole afternoon and evening free, even on your workdays!

As a first time worldpacker I am so happy that this was my first volunteer experience. As a solo female traveler safety is always my #1 priority, I felt safe, comfortable & welcomed into the BeHappy family & the beautiful town of Esmoriz. The hours are respected & the work is easy. Literally 1 minute from the beach there are endless outdoor activities to enjoy. Fransica & Maria are incredible + go above & beyond for you. I made so many friends through our guests & loved getting to know the locals. I only have positive things to say about my time here x Shell ❤️🇨🇦

My time in BeHappy was simply amazing. It was my first volunteer experience and it will be really hard to be topped. Francisca and Maria are incredible people: very friendly, always available and that made me feel welcome from the very first day. The hostel is new and really beautiful, probably the best hostel i’ve ever been to; and Esmoriz it’s a very quiet town where you can relax and be in contact with nature. In conclusion: GO FOR IT!

Staying at the Behappy Lodge&Brunch was my first Worldpackers experience and I couldn’t ask for a better one! The hosts are very welcoming and won’t ever let you down and just in general it’s been always a great working atmosphere. Other than that this place is pretty chill and fun. Great opportunity to get in touch with other travelers, making new friends and even get in touch with the locals. :) I would definitely do it all over again. So don’t miss out on your opportunity to visit such a nice place as Esmoriz in beautiful Portugal!
