Family Surf & Yoga Escape on Morocco's Atlantic Coast

Taghazout sits on a headland between some of Morocco's best-known surf breaks. Hash Point is directly in front of the village; Anchor Point, one of Africa's most famous right-handers, is a short walk north. The whole stretch from here to Tamraght has consistent Atlantic swell from October through April, but the teaching spots are sheltered enough that beginners can learn year-round.

Coach Habib meets the group each morning after breakfast. He checks the forecast, picks the day's spot, and runs through technique on the beach before anyone paddles out. Sessions last about two hours, with Habib and his team in the water giving feedback on pop-ups and wave selection. After lunch — usually a relaxed beach picnic — there's the option of free surf practice or a video analysis session where you can watch your morning's attempts and see exactly what to fix.

Yoga happens daily, typically late afternoon once everyone's back from the beach. The villa has a dedicated shala with ocean views, and sessions are geared toward loosening up after time in the water rather than athletic flow classes. Expect hip openers, shoulder stretches, and some breathing work.

Accommodation is a private villa with a pool, located a few minutes from Banana Beach. The property has four to six bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen (with optional private chef), and enough outdoor space that the group can spread out. The layout works well for families or a group of friends who want to be together rather than in separate hotel rooms.

Meals are included for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is at the villa — fresh fruit, Moroccan pancakes, eggs, coffee — while lunch is usually on the beach after the surf session. Dinners are on your own, which gives you the chance to explore Taghazout's rooftop cafés and fish restaurants. The village is small and walkable; you can stroll from the villa to the harbour in ten minutes.

The retreat suits beginners through intermediate surfers. If you've never stood on a board, Habib's team will get you up; if you're already comfortable in whitewater, they'll push you toward green waves and proper positioning. Advanced surfers who want big reef breaks might find the coaching sessions too basic, but the location means you can free-surf more challenging spots on your own time.
