Had the best two months in Sagres!!! Aldeia is such a wonderful and chill place full of awesome people! It was my first volunteering experience and I grew a lot. Looking back at it, I couldn't have imagined a better experience and I will be back for sure. Can wholeheartedly recommend if you want a surf and beach lifestyle in one of the prettiest places in Portugal (yes I'm biased)!! Lots of love and obrigada💗

It was my first time volunteering and I left Sagres very satisfied about my experience. In Aldeia the shift are well organized and the work is not too hard, it was really great to use the surf equipment for free and it is also possible to have a transport to the surf spots in you free days. The staff house where the volunteers stay may seem a little too small at first, but it gives you the opportunity to connect more with the other volunteers. I'll never forget the great time I've had in Sagres, the amazing landscapes and the wonderful people I met there!!!

I really enjoyed my time in Sagres!💛✨ Even though it’s a small and quiet town, I loved the time we could spend just relaxing, whether at Aldeia or at the beach. The volunteers live in a separate house close to Aldeia - it’s small, but cozy and has everything you need. Our manager Carla was the best! 🫶🏼 She always took care of us and made sure everyone felt comfortable and happy. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for a slower and more peaceful experience in Portugal.☀️ I hope to get back someday!

It was my first time volunteering and I truly enjoyed every day of the trip! Sagres is a small town with a great atmosphere, and I met many wonderful people there. The team was amazing, open and friendly from the beginning and always ready to help. The shifts were well organized and not too hard, the 2 days off per week were enough to enjoy the ocean and the city. It also meant a lot that we could use the surfboards and wetsuits, which made the experience even more fun. I warmly recommend this place to anyone and I'm sure I will return to Aldeia someday!

I really liked my stay at Aldeia. During the working hours there was enough time to connect with the guests and still get all the work done in time :) There was a very friendly and chill atmosphere in the house which I really liked. I would definitely recommend staying at Aldeia!

My time at Aldeia was the best time I had during my whole time in Portugal. On Christmas as well as on New Year's Eve we cooked a big dinner and sat together with the other volunteers and guests. It really felt like home because everyone was super welcoming and nice. The whole atmosphere in Aldeia is so chill and relaxed.The work is totally fair and most of the time you can even finish a bit earlier ( if you work fast enough) and then can go surfing or to one of the coffee shops in Sagres. Big recommendation: Picnic Sagres ( really good Cookies! ). Thank you for this great time!

It was a really nice stay with a lovely team! Everthing regarding the shifts and the work is very well organized. Everyone knows what Tasks are to be fullfilled and you have checklist to make it easy and efficient for everyone. The hosts are taking care a lot about how the volunteers are feeling at their stay, their needs and that everyone has a good stay. They were always there regarding questions or if someone needed help with anything. I would highly recommend this volunteering expierience :)

I really enjoyed my time at Aldeia. All the people there are amazing and very kind. Poli, the manager and Lukas, the owner are the best and always there for you. I was doing housekeeping and morning shift, both were very easy to learn and to do. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves surfing, watching the best sunsets and being part of the community. I will definitely return! :)
