Restorative Yoga and Surf Escape in Taghazout, Morocco

The retreat is built around two activities: yoga and surfing. Yoga classes run daily — typically at sunrise or sunset — and mix dynamic, restorative, and yin styles. The hour-long sessions are led by one of the house teachers and are suitable for beginners, with a focus on stretching out the arms, lower back, and shoulders that get worked during surf sessions. They're practical and grounded, not overly spiritual.

Surf lessons happen every day with Hatim, a certified instructor with over a decade of experience teaching in Taghazout. He picks the best spots based on conditions and takes you there with surfboards and wetsuits included in the package. Groups are small, so you get plenty of attention in the water. If you've never surfed, you'll start with the basics on the beach break and work up from there.

Accommodation is at the newly built Taghazout Ocean View, a nine-room guesthouse in the heart of the village. Rooms have private bathrooms, hot water from solar panels, and free WiFi. The design is Berber-style — cozy rather than fancy, with clean lines and local materials. The rooftop has a fully-equipped yoga shala and two terraces with views of the sea.

Food is a big part of the week. All meals are included, and the kitchen cooks Moroccan dishes using meat, fish, and vegetables sourced locally where possible. They accommodate vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free diets. You can also book optional side activities like a Moroccan cooking class, a hike in Paradise Valley, or quad biking through the dunes.

The retreat is deliberately small — a maximum of six guests — so you get a more personal experience than at bigger surf camps. The team is available to help with anything, from booking extras to giving tips on the village. With just 3 nights, it's less of a full reset and more of a taste of the surf-and-yoga lifestyle, perfect for a first retreat or a quick break from the city.
