Surf and Yoga Wellness Escape in Taghazout, Morocco

The retreat runs out of a brand-new berber-style guesthouse in the middle of Taghazout, a former fishing village that's become a hangout for surfers, yogis, and digital nomads. The building has nine rooms all with private bathrooms, two sea-facing roof terraces, and a yoga shala on the top floor where classes take place with the waves in view. Surf lessons happen at the best breaks around town, chosen daily by the instructor based on conditions and your level.

Your host is the team at Taghazout Ocean View, who run the camp and know the local area well. The lead surf instructor, Hatim, has over ten years of teaching experience in and around Taghazout and will take you to spots suited to your ability, from white-water beginner breaks to more advanced waves if you've surfed before. Yoga is restorative and dynamic, taught daily either at sunrise or sunset, with plenty of emphasis on stretching out arms, shoulders, and lower backs after a session in the water.

Every day includes lunch and dinner plus breakfast, made from locally sourced produce with as much as possible coming from the area. There's a hammam visit and scrub or a one-hour massage included, along with a trip to the souk. Free time can be spent on the beach, exploring the village, or booking additional activities like quad biking, sand surfing, hiking in Paradise Valley, or a cooking class.

This is a practical, welcoming retreat for anyone wanting to try surfing for the first time or improve their skills while keeping up a regular yoga practice. With only a handful of guests each week, you'll get plenty of attention from the instructors, and the itinerary can be adjusted to suit what you want out of the days.
