Blue Buddha Hostel

I have been in Blue Buddha twice (10 and 7 days), i absolutely loved it. The staff was amazing, just like the quests. First time was a family trip, with our 3yo daughter, then i went back alone in September to surf. We had the privacy we needed, and joined the social life too (we had soo much fun:). The place is clean and chilled, feels like staying in one of your friend's villa, just right in front of a nice reef break. There are many good surf spots around in walking distance, also a well made skate park with bowl, pool etc.. Shops, bars and restaurants are nearby - some walk, but not a big trip. The owners are really friendly, funny and focused on the quests. I feel i found THE HOSTEL of Ericeira, in an incredibly beautiful location. Superb value, great deal for board rental too. Perfect for surfers or "surf minded" non/future surfers :D I will be back for sure! Big up for Lucia, Miguel and Natalia!

This lovely 'hostel' run by Lucia and Miguel doesn't really seem like a hostel at all - it has an enviable position in a gated community and overlooks the sea. We stayed in an ensuite room which was basic, but fully functional and clean. The communal kitchen (and BBQ out back) came in very useful for rustling up pack lunches or easy dinners (although there are plenty of nice restaurants within a short walk). We were here to surf and do yoga. Lucia helped us book both (we thoroughly recommend Hugo from Ericeira Local surf school for private lessons) and she even drove us (and joined in) one of the yoga classes. Look forward to going back... that says it all!

Arriving on a sunny and windy day in Ericeira, 2friends where waiting for me in an appartment right next to the see they told me. Its called the Blue Buddha hostel. Not checked in but a warmly welcome from Lucia and Miguel (Hostel owner) was the beginning of 5 beautiful days in Ericeira. Lucia showed me around in Ericeira and we had a fun afternoon at the beach as well as diner with the boys cooking for us. Although the weather was quite overcast and rainy most days the view from all appartement rooms is amazing. You look through the window and think you are in the middle of the ocean with perfect surf. I loved it and would always go back.
