7-Day Surf & Yoga Wellness Escape in Tamraght, Morocco

The retreat runs for seven days, with six nights of accommodation at the Tamraght Surf House. It is based in the village of Tamraght, about 14 kilometers north of Agadir in southern Morocco, right near the beaches of Croco and Banana – both known as gentle, forgiving breaks that suit beginners well. The program includes five surf lessons with certified instructors, six yoga sessions, and all your meals.

A typical day starts with breakfast at the house, then your instructor drives you to the beach of the day. The instructors decide which spot to use based on the swell, tide, and wind, drawing on local knowledge from having grown up in the area. Lessons run for a couple of hours, and because the groups are small, you get plenty of individual attention. After lunch, the afternoon is yours – you can go back out surfing, join a hike, or just hang out at the house.

Late afternoon is yoga. The classes are designed to be accessible to complete beginners but are also useful for people who already practice, with an emphasis on the poses that help surfers most – opening the chest, strengthening the back, and stretching the hips and shoulders. The goal is practical: to make you paddle stronger and recover faster.

Evenings are the social heart of the retreat. Dinners are shared at a big table, Moroccan-style, with dishes cooked by a local chef. Midweek there is usually a barbecue, and there is an excursion to the Agadir souk to buy crafts or just wander. The whole week is relaxed rather than intense – there is no pressure to be anywhere at any time, and you can customize the schedule to suit how you feel.

Soufiane and Ilenia are the hosts, and it is their warmth that keeps guests coming back. Ayoub and Anis handle the surf instruction – both qualified, both patient, and both known for getting absolute beginners standing up on their boards within a day or two.
