Wave, Wheels & Flow: Surf, Yoga & Skate Retreat on Morocco's Atlantic Coast

Imsouane is a compact fishing and surfing village on Morocco's Atlantic coast, home to a famous long right-hand wave that rolls gently enough for beginners to get their first green waves and still gives experienced surfers something to work with. The retreat is based at IMI BAY, a modern surf house sitting right above the bay, which means the daily surf check is just a glance off the balcony. This is one of those places where the wave is the heartbeat, and everything else fits around it.

The structure is deliberately flexible. Most days have a morning yoga class plus a coached surf session out in the water, but there's no obligation to do everything, and you're given real freedom to choose what feels right. There's also a skate session midweek, a photography session while you surf, and a day trip toward Taghazout and a local skate park to break things up. Beyond that, the schedule has real empty spaces – afternoons to swim, nap, read, explore the village, or just sit and watch the ocean.

Marta, the founder of WuJu Retreats, hosts the week. She has a background in Pilates, yoga and surf, and her style is calm and personal rather than instructional. Guests often note how relaxed the atmosphere feels compared to other camps – there's no dogma, no pressure, just a group of people who came for the water and ended up making friends. It's the kind of week where you progress in the surf because you want to, not because you're being pushed.

What makes this retreat distinct is the combo of activities. Surf, yoga, skate and photography aren't just stacked on top of each other – they connect. Yoga loosens you for the water, skating teaches you about weight and balance on land, and the photos give you a new way to see your surfing. And then there are the small things: the shared dinners, the surf checks from the balcony, the staff who cheer you on as you catch your first wave. It feels less like a structured program and more like spending a week with a group of mates who happen to be excellent surf hosts.
