Morocco Surf and Yoga Retreat: Oceanfront Villa Stays in Aourir and Tamraght

Days here follow the surf. You get lessons with the camp's instructors, then time in the water on your own — the Aourir villa sits right by the ocean, so you can walk to the waves whenever you want rather than waiting for a transfer. Morning yoga runs before the surf sessions. Evenings are on the terrace: shared meals, conversation, and in Tamraght a village with cafés and shops a short walk away.

The two bases are different in feel. Aourir is the oceanfront villa, with private bathrooms and a bigger choice of rooms. Tamraght is the village stay, with shared bathrooms, more going on outside the door, and terrace evenings that tend to run late. Both are priced from 350€ for a minimum of four nights, and both can be booked to start on any day.

The activity list is what separates this from a plain surf school. Alongside the daily surfing there is sandboarding on the dunes, a skate session, a trip into Agadir market, a day at Paradise Valley, a spa and surf-skate day, a BBQ, and a quad bike ride. The camp arranges these as shared activities, so solo travellers slot into the group without having to organise anything.

If you want more than a week at the coast, the two special trips are the reason to come. The Desert Surf Camp runs Thursday to Thursday (minimum six nights) and puts the Sahara first — Ait Ben Haddou, a night in an Atlas studio, Tinghir, Marrakech — before returning to the ocean for surf days and camp life. The Surf & Toubkal trip runs Tuesday to Tuesday (minimum six nights) and works the other way round: learn to surf and rest by the ocean, then take on a two-day trek of about 27 km to the top of Toubkal at 4,167 m, with 9–12 hours of hiking on the mountain days.

A day pass exists for people already staying in the area. From 195€ for a minimum of three days, it includes surf lessons, shared meals, surf days and camp activities — you keep your own accommodation and still join the group.
