Onda Coliving

Absolutely loved Onda! I’ve already stayed here twice in the past year. If you’re looking for the perfect surf location with terrace views that look like a postcard, this is it. But what really sets Onda apart is Vasco. He is the ultimate host: warm, hilarious, and dedicated to making sure you don't just 'stay' here, but truly experience the magic of the coast. From the festas and surf sessions to cozy family dinners, you’ll feel like part of the community from day one. It’s a home away from home that you’ll never want to leave.

Beautiful apartment, great sunsets. Vasco knows all the best local spots and looks after his guests very well. 100% will be coming back soon!

The house is spacious & high-quality and has great views; you can enjoy sunsets and a nice sea view right from the terrace. Also, Vasco is super helpful and friendly host. I could stay here again!

Perfect location, fantastic terrace with a breathtaking sea view, true "co-living" feeling, beautifully furnished rooms, very clean and well-organized common areas, and you're also integrated into local life through shared activities like restaurant visits, cooking together, local events, surf sessions, and much more. There aren't any separate co-working spaces, but each room has a desk, and you can even work on the terrace when the weather is nice. There's even space for your own surfboards. The internet connection is excellent, and all in all, Onda Coliving is much better in person than in the photos on the website. I highly recommend it!

What a time. If you’re thinking about doing a cowork.. do it! And do it at Onda because this place rocked

Stayed at Onda for a week and it was the nicest experience. The house is amazing and the host Vasco is great with lots of knowledge and details about the area. Perfect for remote workers and spectacular sea views - will definitely be back again in the near future!

I stayed at Onda Coliving in April and would visit again for sure! The location is perfect with views to both the bay and Lagide. It’s under a 5min walk to the closest surfspot, with numerous restaurants and cafes around. The house is quite new with all the amenities you could wish for. The storage for surfboards and wetsuits works really well. There is a huge wraparound terrace around the apartment and the pool was nice for quick swims between work and surf. Though I chose to stay in the Almagreira suite during this visit, I would be more than happy to stay in any of the rooms during future stays. Definitely recommend for remote workers. The internet connection was fast and worked without fail whether I was in the common areas, my room or the terrace. Vasco is a delightful host and an amazing person. He arranges all kinds of adventures and has great recommendations regarding services in the area.

You can’t beat the location at Onda Coliving! It’s perfectly located within walking distance to everything—the beach and the town/Ferrel. There are plenty of cafes and açaí spots, as well as delicious restaurants and fun bars within an easy walk in any direction. This house also has such prime views, you never need to check the surf forecast—you can see multiple breaks from the sun-drenched, wrap-around terrace. The sunsets from the terrace are breathtaking, too. Each room, including the spacious living room/kitchen/coworking area has access to it, so you’re spoiled for choice. Vasco often bbqs out there, and he’s an awesome cook! He’s an awesome host all around. You can feel completely comfortable asking him anything, as he’s incredibly accommodating and always happy to help. Vasco and I spent many nights hanging out, having long talks! I really appreciated his openness and willingness to share. He’s a kind person who enjoys bringing people together, connecting people, and making the most of Baleal. And he makes sure all of his guests can, too, with tons of tips, surfboards, and weekly event plans! I stayed for over a month and wish I could have hung out in Baleal with the friends I made at the house and through Vasco at community events even longer! I’ll be back 110%!

We are frequent travelers in Europe every summer, and dare I say, Vasco is the best host out of all. Our stay at Onda Co-living was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly had to leave, we were treated with warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality. The accommodation itself was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully appointed, providing a cozy retreat after adventurous days exploring the area. The location was perfect - nestled in the heart of picturesque surroundings, yet conveniently close to all the attractions and activities we wanted to experience. Let me emphasize what an extraordinary human being our host is. Not only did he make us feel like family, but he went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of perfect. One of the highlights of our stay was vasco's impeccable recommendations for local restaurants. Vasco's unparalleled hospitality, genuine warmth, and insider knowledge truly set him apart. If you want to experience the true essence of Portuguese hospitality and make unforgettable memories, look no further than Onda Co-living. Thanks Mate!

My partner and I stayed for a month in September last year and had the MOST amazing time! The photos do not do it justice - 270 degree beautiful view of the ocean from the wrap around balcony in a perfect location. Vasco is the BEST host - so welcoming and took us to surfing lessons and great restaurants and bars in the area, made sure we had everything we needed (and more)! On top of that the place itself is spotless, spacious, super comfortable and everything is basically brand new. As soon as we are able to we’ll be back to stay again :) if you’re looking for a place in the Peniche/Baleal area - book at Onda!!! Thank you Vasco!

Onda Coliving is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience. Vasco isn't just a host; he's your new amazing friend who goes above and beyond and it’s full of surprises from guitar playing to amazing family dinners. He introduced to mouthwatering local cuisine and took us to donkey races. I cannot go without mentioning the best surf spots are in walking distance. His professionalism and warmth are unparalleled. We've made memories that will last a lifetime and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommended!

Amazing place! I stayed there for a month and a half, as one of the first customer. The flat is a very cosy and modern penthouse with sea view and perfect for workers looking for the best location to surf. Beaches are across the street (you can see many waves from the flat), surfboards are provided, gym gears, and so much more! Vasco is such a great host, with taste and culture, and brings a special vibe to the place. He cooks once a week and is always happy to share a bottle of wine or a jazz jam (he is an amazing guitar player). I would strongly recommend for remote workers looking for absolute comfort and surfing. I will definitely come back!!

Loved staying here. Vasco lis super hospitable and loves building community. Great WiFi for work. Easy access to the surf strip in Peniche. For those working remotely and looking for a time away, this is a fantastic option.

My stay at Onda was an absolute dream. The wraparound terrace provides gorgeous views of the sunset and several of the main surf breaks in the area (see photos). I was spoiled with sun-soaked afternoons in the Almagreira room, swiftly-arranged surf lessons, quick access to great restaurants and cafes within a 10 min’s walk, and a reliable & comfortable setup for remote work — punctuated by yummy family dinners & social events with other colive residents and members of the community. Vasco is knowledgeable & fun and made my stay easygoing, immaturely-curated, and vibrant. Highly recommend for an all-around fantastic time & vibes!!

This coworking space is situated in a prime location that offers an excellent balance of work and leisure. Just a two-minute walk away from the ocean, cafes, bars, and a supermarket, it has everything you could need. During my stay at Suite Lagide, I had a wonderful experience. As an ocean lover, I was thrilled to have a view of the ocean and sunset. I highly recommend checking it out; you won't be disappointed. :)

Amazing co-live located by the best beaches of peniche! Walking distance from Baleal and Ferrel, it has everything you want from great surfing, amazing food, and local social scene. The room I stayed was very spacious, had lots of sun, and a perfect view of the ocean. Also the owner, Vasco, is super friendly and is well connected with the local community. He connected me to the best surf instructor in the area, who help me take my surfing to new heights. If theres anything you want he can help! Also, special shout out to Onda Colive for making some of the best Mojitos I’ve had :)
