Surf and Yoga Escape on Morocco's Atlantic Coast

The daily rhythm here is built around the ocean. Most mornings, after a quick warm-up, your surf coach takes the group to one of the many breaks around Tamraght — the exact spot depends on the swell and tide that day. Lessons run about two hours and cap at a small group size, so each person gets feedback on their paddling, positioning, and pop-up. In the afternoon, you're free to go back out on your own or join a supervised session, depending on how your arms feel.

Yoga runs once a day, either at sunrise or sunset, on a rooftop terrace with a view straight over the ocean. The certified instructor adjusts the session to what the group needs — restorative flows on heavy surf days, more balance and inversion work when everyone's feeling fresh. It's a 60-minute class, and it's specifically designed to undo some of the tightness that paddling and popping up create.

The surf house itself is simple and comfortable, with a mix of private rooms, shared rooms, and dorms, all with their own bathrooms. The common areas are where the retreat really happens — people hang out between sessions, swap travel plans, and sit down together for dinner. Meals are a proper highlight: breakfast spreads with amlou, eggs, and fresh bread, lunchboxes at the beach, and dinners of tagine or grilled fish that the hosts explain with real enthusiasm.

Elhati Surf's resident instructor, Hatim, has been teaching in the Taghazout area for over a decade. He knows every break between Agadir and Taghazout, and he adapts where you surf to your level and the conditions. The team also includes Mustapha and Elise, who handle the coaching and the hosting, and who several reviewers specifically mention for their patience and warmth.
