7 Days
Overview
Our Yoga and Surf retreat is for everyone!
Whether you absolutely love surfing and practice yoga daily or this is your first time, this holiday is for you! As we split guests into small groups, we can cater to all levels, from complete beginners to improvers. The surfing lessons are designed to make you easily progress your surfing skills. Our surf instructors are all local and passionate surfers. The instructor will take you to the best surf spot of the day and teach you for a couple of hours in the morning, then encourage you to master the techniques and take your surfing skills to the next level during your afternoon practice.
As a guest of our retreat you will enjoy yoga classes both in our seafront terrace and out in nature embraced by the elements. Ashtanga or Hatha yoga are taught during the morning, before breakfast (optional class) and Vinyasa or Yin Yoga in the evening, usually at sunset. You will also be able to dive into the world of Pranayama and breath work and re-align your body in the seamless, non-judgmental way Yoga provides.
This retreat is designed to support your well-being and nurture your body through movement, fun and nutrition. The soulful surfing and mindful yoga lessons shall take you to a place of contentment and wonder. Here you can truly be in the moment.
Taghazout is a beautiful, peaceful place. With its gorgeous sandy beaches, open spaces and mountains all around, it provides the ideal antidote to the stresses of modern life.
Included Trip
Paradise valley
Paradise Valley is a section of the Tamraght River valley in the Moroccan High Atlas mountains. It is located approximately 20 km north of Agadir. The valley is known for its abundance of rock pools and small waterfalls.
This scenic Oasis is a top place for hiking, sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing. Emerald-coloured waters sparkle beneath dramatic red-orange rocks. Small Berber villages dot the surrounding countryside.
On the way to the Valley we will stop off at an argan cooperative where the local ladies show you how the oil and creams are all made. Then off to Paradise Valley where we will do a 20 minute hike into the valley where you come across a series of lush rock pools in a beautiful oasis. We will stay for a while and enjoy the view and nature. We will then hike a bit more and explore the area. Water will be supplied.

Best time to visit Morocco
The climate in Morocco varies wildly according to the season and area of travel. In the lowlands, the cooler months from October to April are popular among visitors. This time of year is pleasantly warm to hot (around 30°C) during the day and cool to cold (around 15°C) at night. Winter in the higher regions often brings snow and can therefore get seriously cold, particularly at night. Tourists flock to the coastline from June to September for fun in the sun, with warm mostly rain-free days. Further inland it can get hot and rain is rare, which makes the best times to travel March to June and September to December.
Morocco Culture & Customs
Morocco's culture has developed over centuries of influence from far and wide. Contemporary Morocco is a fascinating mix of Berber, Mediterranean, Andalucian, and African traditions, which are present in the cuisine, clothing, music, language, customs, and lifestyle. As an Islamic country, most Moroccans are Muslim; however, there are small populations of people who practice Judaism and Christianity. Classic examples of Islamic architecture can be observed all throughout the country and tenets of the Islamic religion are carried out in the customs and lives of the people. The 'Call to Prayer' can be heard five times a day, women are expected to dress modestly and alcohol isn't drunk by most of the population.
Most of Moroccan society can be considered traditional, with respect for elders, connection to family, and giving alms to the poor hallmarks of everyday life for many Moroccans. Hospitality is another important element of society, with warmly welcoming people into your home a time-honored tradition and social responsibility that dates back centuries.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options in Morocco ?
Much of Morocco's cuisine revolves around meat, but vegetables are an important staple and a crucial ingredient in many dishes of the Maghreb. Your diet can consist of more than just flatbread and hummus – trust us. Keep an eye out for vegetable-based tagines and couscous, the renowned Zaalouk (a smokey eggplant and tomato salad), vegetable Briouats (triangular-filled pastries), and cinnamon oranges. Vegan options are slightly more limited, as many of the pieces of bread and couscous dishes have butter added to them, but your best bet is to enquire if yours can be made using oil instead. Otherwise, it's easy to dine well on varied vege offerings in Morocco.
