This was mine (and my partners) first experience of a Holistic massage and I think I may struggle after this to find someone as good. Daniella was so intuitive and thorough, especially considering I was travelling and probably wouldn't be back again. I feel it was some sort of fate that I was staying here on holiday on the same street as this place, as it did open my eyes to a different type of massage therapy, and has made me want to explore it more. Thank you <3 The room is also lovely and a very calming place and my partner and I were made to feel very welcome.

We had an amazing experience today at the Hoya center. We went in for a massage and got so much more than that! Both ladies were very warm and welcoming 🙏🏻 The massage was very professional and their intuitive touches took it to another level with targeting some specific pain points. At the end of the massage we also got the chance to experience the singing bowls and wow that made us feel so good, calm and even more relaxed 🤍 Daniela has a very nice holistic approach, she cares deeply for her clients and is passionate about what she does! Lastly, we had such a nice chat with her and she shared some very valuable insights with us ☺️ You got to absolutely visit this place, it will bring something special to your life I can guarantee! With love and gratitude. Thank you ladies, xx

Daniella was amazing and was able to release this crack in my neck I have been yearning for over 5 years, to the point I almost cried that it was finally released! Her intuitiveness into what my body needed was amazing and although it hurt because I am out of so much alignment the reasons she portrayed to me through her gifts was really remarkable and spot on to current issues I am working through on a personal level! My friend was sad she was not able to get new same feedback from the assistant that helped with the dual massage maybe could look into training on such work to give her more feedback as I got, but for a solo session it might be profoundly insightful and mending then body!

Beautiful energy! Deep DEEP tissue massage. They know what they are doing! It was more than a massage. Highly recommend!

Very high quality massage. My husband and I had a couples massage which we both felt helped our sore and tight spots in our shoulders and necks. It was very thorough, and left us feeling relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Graziela and Ayandra were both very good - would recommend and come back the next time we are in algarve.

Wow, truly incredible! Has to be experienced to be believed. I went in expecting a massage and hopefully relief from some physical symptoms, but this is actually wholistic medicine in the complete sense. I got more out of 1 session than I have with any supplement or herbs. Daniela is a very gifted healer and, beyond just being a great person with awesome happy energy, she has a unique ability to read parts of your body and get a sense of who you are, a sense of your whole being and any problems that may be manifest. She finds clues in your body and through her own practice, which you can tell she practices with utmost respect, she is able to talk about parts of your whole life. So I walked away from just 1 session with a profound reorientation towards healing my own emotional blockages and just a day later I can say that whatever the sum total of what she did is my body is now opening up and releasing blockages I have been trying to navigate for quite some time (I've literally been to dozens of alternative health practitioners, but Daniela helped more in 1 session). What's more, I can start to see how these different blockages or problems in my life are interconnected and Daniela was an incredible source of wisdom and perspective to guide me back to "remembering myself". She even recommended some good practices to do at home (which are unique and I'd never heard anyone else recommend) to help with a wholistic healing in my day-to-day. I'll definitely be back and if you're reading this and needing some healing (in whatever way) I hope you find the time to show up for yourself and come to the Massage Institute Hoya, you'll be very glad you did. Even the name "Hoya" is "a shamanic word, used as a call by ancient Nepalese shamans, for lost energies to return to the being who had lost them". I don't know about you, but that resonates with me. Good luck on everyone's journey and healing whoever reads this.

My massage with Danielle was exceptional. I've had many massages in my life but this was the most intuitive and attentive. Danielle creates an environment of respect and trust, relaxation and warmth. She is generous with her gifts and has so many different methods and styles to offer. I will definitely be returning.

Went yesterday, best massage I had ever. Suffered from neck pain from working in a office for long hours but now I feel much better. Would recommend this place to anyone.

The ladies took their time getting to know us and a bit more about what we do for work, surgeries we’ve had (if any), what we struggle with and so much more. They then suggested different things we need to do to enhance our health and explained what their massages would work on. We left feeling happy and relaxed, feeling more confident with what we want for our bodies! Thank you so much!!!!♥️ If we’re ever in Portugal again or know anyone going we will 100% recommend them!!!

The best part of our trip to Albuferia - We went in with the intention of feeling relaxed afterwards. We received a massage with sound bowl therapy at the end. We felt more relaxed than we could have imagined. Daniela & Graziela were both amazing. A really nice welcoming feeling from the minute you arrive. We received some fantastic life advice from Daniela afterwards. A great experience ❤️ Thank you!

Daniella is a really nice and friendly person and excellent massage therapist! Thanks!

As I have been staying in Portugal longer than expected. I was looking to find a massage & osteopath therapy that was holistic. I found Daniela and Cristiane. Wonderful souls. My treatments have been very healing & profound and resulted in great shifts in my body, my mind and soul. I get support before and after healing. Having people that listen to you and your bodies needs is rare. I have been going there on a weekly basis for three months and each time. Aya has also been a great support too. Muito obrigada & thank you for holding space for me.

Good and relaxing deep tissue massage. A bit noisy from other treatments happening simultaneously, but apart from that an great experience.

I had two uncomfortable knots at the top of my back and now they’re completely gone and I’m pain free!! Both the masseuses were incredibly kind and welcoming and I recommend this place to anybody interested in feeling healthier and younger!

Went in today for couples massage, this was beyond our expectations! The ladies were extremely kind, open and accepting. They made us feel heard and did so much for both our bodies and minds. We would recommend this to anyone looking for a massage with a holistic approach, we are so thankful! ❤ Leigh-Anne and Ana

Daniela is a unique healer, she is intuitive and if you trust her she knows what your body and soul needs. She works her magic with her hands, instruments and her lovely voice. The drums were incredible during the sound healing. My husband had a massage with Graziela and he said she had hands to melt pain away. Exceeds expectations.

Amazing service and top professionalism. I asked for a specific massage according to my complaints. When arriving to the place they offered me water and after settling. I had a conversation about the complaints that i had, which was very generous. The deep tissue massage was amazing and helped a lot. After the massage there was a little conversation about the aftercare + a free product ♥️ I recommend this place, go here when you are struggling here with your muscles.

The massage was absolutely amazing, I booked it very spontaneously since I woke up with the worst pain in my back. She is such an angel and gave me one of the most relaxing massages I have ever had! Thank you 🌹

My mom and I got so much out of our experience here. It is so much more than a massage. Daniela and Graziela are extremely gifted healers. The look of joy and peace on my mom’s face after our services was priceless. She looked completely transformed. I appreciate that Daniela spoke with us afterwards about what she noticed about our energies and suggested practices we can do moving forward to continue our healing. She helped me to feel more rooted in Love and happiness. My suggestion for anyone receiving healing here is to have some downtime to integrate afterwards. Thank you Hoya Institute 🙏

Great people, amazing massage. I definitely know where I will go for all my future massages in Albufeira. Very attentive and know what they are doing. Many different techniques used. Extremely satisfied!!!

Just had the deep tissue massage and holistic session. Daniella was amazing, her knowledge was very insightful. Came away feeling very refreshed and with a great mindset going forward. Would highly recommend.

First time visiting, amazing professional massage, very spiritual. Best massage I have had

I have been here twice for a massage and alway leave feeling relaxed and content. Both women are amazing and truly go above and beyond to give you the therapy you need :) 10/10 will be back and recommend anyone who hasn't already to try

Amazing experience with Daniella. I really recommend this massage is a blast ⚡⚡⚡

What can I say? It was very good and we both feel great. We had the full body deep tissue massage and it was awesome. We would highly recommend. Thank you ladies

Very good holistic approach. Don't be fooled by the location, this is a very rare opportunity to find such a good therapist.

I didn't expect to get sooooo much from this humble massage salon. It has redefined my standards in terms of quality of massage and personalized experience. Daniela's fingers are like magic wands, they will make you feel good and beautiful. It is going to be very very hard to go somewhere else now... Yes Hoya is that good, Daniela has created a new massage experience with organic massage oils and tlc ( tender loving care ) that is extremely rare to find anywhere else.

The massage was such high quality, Daniela is an experienced masseuse and clearly very knowledgeable. The place itself is pretty simple but the massage is what counts. The consultation was in-depth and the emotional support afterwards was completely unexpected and made a huge impact. Some serious healing took place here!

This is your go to place, if you’re dealing with any body aches. I came in with enormous pain in my lumbar region. Aya was super thoughtful, professional and worked her magic. After a one hour deep tissue massage, I came out feeling like new. Thank you.

Let's say it this way, i'm a massage-addict. Wherever i travel, i get a massage somewhere. I have had massages in luxurious resorts, and in more modest places. Hoya is one of this modest place that breathes love and care, but there is so much, but so much more at Hoya. Daniela has managed to make you experience what it is to be alive and in peace. I don't think i'll ever live an experience like that very soon in another place, so that's it, i need to go back to Hoya as soon as possible ! Thank you very much Daniela !

Great massage. Great vibe.

The therapy was soooo good! It‘s stunning what she tells you during the massage. She really reads your body! You have to go there if you want to make a new experience to your inner-self! Thank you so much!🙏🏻

Been for a lot of massages worldwide. This was one of the best. Very knowledgeable, identified problem areas straight away. Excellent cumminication throughout. Will definitely be back.

I booked a session with Daniela and told her not much about my problems (pain in my legs and my back, stress and mood swings). It seems as she could feel exactly where the problems are located and what the origin is. After more than two hours treatment I felt much better than before, I had no pain any longer and my view to my job and my life has been completely changed. I never made such an experience before and I am full of energy now. Meanwhile I booked more sessions and I can absolutely recommend Daniela. Thank you so much, muito obrigado!

Daniela has a true gift and she will generously share it with you as this is her calling. Other users have said it before: she can read your body and oh my, her message is powerful! I booked a couples massage, my partner slept like a baby and I opened my eyes onto a new world. Daniela is a modern alchemist, transmuting your lead into gold.
