Utopia

You can expect a good accommodation with a nice pool. We are a motivated team that are used to work with volunteers. Usually there are ~8 volunteers from different parts of the world.

You have 3 beaches (Arrifana, Monte Clerigo and Amoreira) 5 minutes by car and beautiful sight seeing, amazing hikes. If you like outdoor activities you have a lot to discover.

The weather is sunny and warm. In the winter it gets cold at night but as the sun comes out the temperature goes up and you feel like you were in spring. There are beautiful are great sceneries and a lot of outdoor activities for you to enjoy (surf, hiking, beach, fishing).

The Southwest of Portugal is one of the most hidden secrets of Europe. Or maybe not...come and discover by yourself!

Welcome to Utopia!!!!

Our team is made up of 7 people that choose to live in the south of Portugal to have time for themselves, work hard whilst having fun at the same time and have a huge motivation to enjoy life. We have worked with volunteers for more than 10 years and have had a total of more than 300 volunteers. We know how to take care of you and organize tasks. We need help in housekeeping and during the breakfast buffet that is served to the guests. In winter we also do a lot of maintenance work and sometimes some gardening tasks. Expect to have a lot of free time but also to have to work hard. We believe that we are very open and establish a close relationship. We are open to improve and change procedures as far a balance is achieved. I am 54 years old and left Lisbon to Aljezur 31 years a go....Why? I spent my vacations here and love to surf around here. Follow the dream! The staff is young people from 26 to 35 years old from different countries, different vibes. All are following the dream. Welcome to Utopia!

Utopia was my first volunteer job on WP and I am deeply grateful, because it was the perfect choice for me. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and I left this place with so many good memories. Such an amazing experience. Met some inspiring people, with good energy and made some beautiful friendships. There is a cat (Tofu) and a sweet dog (Bolinha). There is a rusty car to use, to go to the beach, surfboards and wetsuits. But I will highly recommend bringing your own wetsuit, since the ones they have are old and broken. If this is your first experience, then this is the right place for you!

Utopia was a great experience. It's located near the ocean (5min drive) and the provided surf equipment still functions but isn't the best. Same goes for the new car we got.
The work is easy and consists of cleaning. The cleaning ladies which help are super lovely. Shift is from 10:30-14:30.
They provide breakfast the rest you need to buy for yourself.
What made this experience unforgettable are the people which I met along the way. Thank you so much.

I had the best time ever in Utopia, mainly because of the lovely people we got to work with and the wonderful volunteers I met that became true friends, but also because Aljezur is such a stunning place to live in. You really feel at peace there, surrounded by the most breathtaking landscapes.
The work schedule is always respected. The job can be a bit tiring some days but it is mainly really easy. They lend a car for the volunteers which is really nice to get around places. Only improvements would be to provide new bikes and wetsuits since some of them are not in the best shape for use.

Utopia was amazing! The volunteer area is really nice, big and cozy. The hours are respected and the work is really easy. They give you surfboards, wetsuits and a car. All of them are little broken but still get the work done. Bikes weren’t working though, which would be a nice addtition. The beach close by is the most beautiful beach i’ve seen and the whole experience was really nice and enjoyable. I would recommend utopia to anyone who wants to chill in portugal, surf, have fun and a lot of free time!!💕

This was my first Worldpackers Experience and it was amazing! The staff and everybody was really welcoming, communicative and flexible. Even when I got sick for over a week they were really sweet about it and never made me feel bad because of it. The work hours were just 4 hours each day and the work was light and very fun with two amazing ladies leading and teaching us! You´ll meet a lot of people from all over the world, not a lot of Portuguese tho. The volunteer area is seperated from the hotel and you need to get used to it but then you´ll definitly feel at home! Thank you so much!
