2. MORNING YOGA WITH OCEAN VIEWS
Start each day with a guided yoga session on the rooftop shala overlooking the waves.
These classes are designed to awaken your body and mind, combining mindful breathwork, deep stretches, and energizing flows that prepare you for your surf session.
Classes are suitable for all levels, and teachers provide modifications to suit your experience.
There’s something deeply grounding about saluting the sun as it rises over the Atlantic.
A soulful morning coupled with a zen feeling and soaking the never-fading sun.
The energy is flowing and by that time, breakfast is ready!
And it is a feast, a complete breakfast with all types of breads and spreads (we will get to that later).
3. SURF LESSONS TAILORED TO YOUR LEVEL
After a hearty breakfast, it’s time to hit the beach!
Tamraght is near some of the best surf spots in Morocco, such as Devil’s Rock, Banana Point, and Crocodile Beach (Tamraght is blessed that way).
Whether you’re catching your first wave or refining your technique, our certified instructors tailor each lesson to your ability and confidence level.
You’ll learn ocean safety and awareness, paddling technique, and how to pop up and ride with style. Then, you’ll learn how to show off your new skills when you’re back home.
Every session includes theory, beach practice, and lots of water time. It’s both challenging and exhilarating—a true adventure each day.
4. HEALTHY, HOMEMADE MEALS
Fuel your body with delicious and nourishing Moroccan meals.
At Original Surf Morocco, you’ll enjoy three daily meals made with fresh local ingredients. Think: tagines, couscous, vibrant salads, grilled fish, seasonal fruits, and vegan-friendly options.
Meals are served family-style around the communal table, creating the perfect moment to connect with other guests and share your surf stories from the day.
The food is not only healthy but deeply tasty.
When you’re with us we will ‘feed you’ three times a day!
In the morning full breaks includes different types of breads, spreads, and drinks. Fully and traditionally Moroccan with staples like Moroccan mint tea, Amlou (spread made from honey, Argan oil, and almonds), bread.
Lunch is the chef’s choice and is taken with you to the beach.
As for dinner, prepare your growling stomach for a feast, here the chef outdone himself regularly to prepare some amazing delights from Couscous, to Tagine, to Bastila, and much more.
5. EVENING YOGA TO UNWIND
After a day in the ocean, your body will surely thank you for the evening yoga practice.
These sessions are slow and meditative—focusing on deep stretches, breathwork, and calming your nervous system.
The evening yoga has a different purpose. While the yoga session in the morning focuses on energising the body and the flow of energy, the evening session is more to relax the spirit. It is a spiritual activity that calms the mind after a full day of catching the most amazing waves.
It’s a beautiful way to transition from high-energy surfing to a restful night’s sleep. Plus, watching the sun set over the waves during savasana is pure magic.
6. TIME TO EXPLORE & CONNECT
Tamraght is a charming Berber village just minutes from Taghazout.
During your retreat, you’ll have time to wander the local souks, try a traditional hammam spa (you feel like a totally new person quite literally), ride camels or horses at sunset, or take part in excursions like Paradise Valley or Agadir city trips.
Whether you want to journal in a café, sip tea on a rooftop, or dive into Moroccan culture, there’s space to do what makes your heart happy.
And that’s the beauty of Morocco, there’s something for everyone.
7. A LIKE-MINDED COMMUNITY
One of the most beautiful parts of a surf yoga retreat is the community it creates.
You’ll meet fellow travellers, solo adventurers, creatives, and nature-lovers from all around the world.
Many guests come alone—and leave with lifelong friends, shared laughter, and unforgettable memories.
The connections you form here often last far beyond your time on the retreat.
That’s the beauty of travelling; it’s not only about the locations you visited or activities you did but also the people you met, and connections you made.
