Program Details
Cooking & Meals 🍲
Our main priority is preparing a healthy, balanced lunch for 2 people, ready around 1:30 PM. We enjoy creative cooking, with plenty of vegetables, proteins and carbohydrates. We also eat eggs, and occasionally meat or fish.
We prefer cooking once a day, preparing generous portions so there are leftovers for dinner. You're welcome to experiment with recipes, bake cakes and prepare fresh juices using fruits and herbs from our tropical garden.
We provide ingredients for shared lunches and dinners. Personal breakfast items and snacks are your responsibility. We appreciate your help planning meals and preparing grocery lists.
Housekeeping 🏡
Keeping the house clean, tidy and organized is essential. This includes the kitchen, shared spaces and the downstairs bathroom.
We value initiative and independence. You can organize your activities according to daily priorities, focusing on different areas when needed.
Garden & Farm 🌿
You can also help harvest fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs, maintain the vegetable garden, plant and prune. No advanced gardening experience is required.
Accommodation & Lifestyle ☀️
We offer a private bedroom in the downstairs house, with a shared bathroom. You also have access to the upstairs kitchen and bathroom.
We value a relaxed atmosphere, mutual respect, independence and open communication. You'll have personal time to enjoy the beach, explore the area and pursue your own interests.
Beyond daily activities, you're welcome to learn about tropical agriculture, regenerative farming and off-grid living at Oasisss.
