Wellness Escape: Yoga, Culture & Connection on Morocco's Atlantic Coast

The retreat is based at Tamrazen, a small guesthouse in Tamraght, a laid-back surf town about 45 minutes north of Agadir. The property sits just minutes from the beach and has views over the ocean and the surrounding hills. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable—think whitewashed walls, terracotta tiles, and a terrace where you can watch the waves roll in. Rooms have A/C, ensuite bathrooms, and free wifi.

Each morning begins with a yoga and meditation session out on the yoga shala/deck, looking out over the water. Sharyn teaches a mix of Vinyasa, Yin, and Kundalini yoga, always adapted to who's in the group. After class, a proper breakfast is laid out—fresh bread, eggs, fruit, and strong Moroccan coffee. Then the day opens up. On some days there are planned excursions: a trip to the Paradise Valley with its natural pools and palm trees, a visit to the old medina in Agadir, or a climb through the sand dunes. Other days are unplanned, with the option to join a surf class, book a massage, or just take it easy.

One afternoon is set aside for a cooking class, where you'll learn to make a few classic Moroccan dishes before sitting down to eat them together. There's also a creative workshop, which has varied in the past from painting to writing to photography—whatever feels right for the group. A professional photographer comes along on at least one of the outings, so you'll come away with decent photos of you doing something memorable.

The week ends the way it started: with a closing ceremony, a chance to reflect on the past days, and maybe a few tears before people head off in different directions.
