Surf Coast Morocco Yoga Retreat and Surf Program

YOGA

Renovate your energies with a spectacular experience by connecting you to nature through surfing and yoga. The ancient tradition of yoga, which means to yoke or create union, is both a philosophical system and a science that offers you the opportunity to deepen your self-awareness through physical movement, breathing, and meditation.

Improve your surfing performance through a well-balanced yoga practice that develops strength, balance, and flexibility. The core of the surfer's flow class is based on creating a flowing practice using poses geared to open shoulders and hips, strengthen the back, and safely stretch the entire body, helping to prevent injuries.

Even the most moderate dose of a yoga practice will improve flexibility, promote better breathing, increase blood flow and help you recover faster between sessions. A basic pre and post-surfing routine together with a regular yoga practice will improve your surfing and help you keep a strong and healthy body, enhancing every aspect of your life!

You will start the mornings with an energizing vinyasa flow yoga class practice to wake you up and prepare your body for surfing. The workout day will end with an restorative evening yoga class in hatha or yin yoga style for a deep stretch and calming your body & mind.

SURF

Taghazout Bay in Morocco offers you ideal conditions for learning and improving your surfing not just for the different kind of beach breaks but also for the weather and sunny days nearly 365 days a year. You can find easy beach breaks for beginners, fun reef breaks or world class point breaks for the advanced surfers. Our surf instructors offer surf lessons for all levels. Do not worry if you are a bloody surf beginner: You will learn all the basics that are necessary to learn the amazing sport of surfing. From the correct position on your surfboard, the pop up, how to paddle and to catch your first whitewater or even green waves.

The instructors will take you to the best spot of the day according to your level and will help you to achieve your goals. They will analyze your improvements, correct your technique and sharing the knowledge about the ocean. Just relax and enjoy the day.

Review by Marta Garcia from Spain

Great days with Moroccon people

CONS Cons: The hostel was fixing things, so it was a little uncorfortable to have people working upstairs. Also, as summer is low season, there were not people in hostel, just me and another girl. So I expected to meet more people. Good thing is that I spent much time with local people which also was a good experience!

PROS Pros: The village is a nice place for vaction, beach for surfing was really good. My instructor was funny and I enjoyed surfing with him, as a begginer. People in the hostel were nice and they helped for everything. And food also really nice. Good breakfast and dinners.

Review by Ivanne Rivera from United States

All Wanderlusts Must Visit Here!!

PROS Pros: Tucked away in an ornate coastal town you will find Surf Coast Morocco perfectly located on beach. Fall asleep every night to the peaceful waves crashing & wake up every morning to the most spectacular sunrises. This location is everything to live for. A true must visit. The staff became more like family to me as I was travelling alone. Reda, Khalid, Mohammed (both of them), surf instructor Abash, and yoga instructors Nastya & Amy. A gentle group who embraces everyone. They made sure that every aspect of my stay was comfortable from food, to linens, to atmosphere, to cultural experiences, to laughs and everything in between. I was inspired and will definitely be back to visit this beautiful country! Thank you so much Surf Coast Morocco!

Amazing holiday

PROS Pros: It was one of the best holidays. Accommodation is cozy and comfortable. Food is good. But the best part was to meet great people. It was my first surfing experience. I had help and support all the time. Now I am waiting for next holidays to come back there to surf and see again my new friends.

Review by Joanne Irvine from Belgium

CONS Cons: The rooms are very basic, it would be great to have at least some shelves or somewhere to hang clothes.

PROS Pros: Staff were lovely, friendly and very accommodating. The place is clean and has a lovely roof top terrace to chill out and where you can spend time with other guests, play cards, listen to music etc. The yoga teacher was also excellent (and I do yoga).

"I had a great time at Surf Coast Morocco. Reda and Julia are very helpful and really make you feel at home. The atmosphere is very relaxed, lively, cheerful, welcome, open, flexible."
"Samira cooks the most delicious meals (you wont stop eating), Mohammad is the greatest and patient and funny surf instructor and I got great yoga classes from Anna, who is also a wonderful, warmhearted person. Amira is the cutest little surfcoast cat around town. "
"Also the trips to Paradise Valley and the Agadir Market made it all together a great week that I definitely will remember. Keep up the good work guys! Love from Holland, Marjon"

"My stay at surf coast morocco was great!! The place is amazingly located - couldn't get closer to the sea! It's super relaxed, staff don't feel like staff - more like friends of friends who become your friends. Reda met me at the airport and dropped me off, as well as constant trips to the beach, paradise valley and the souk. Julia is a great host and there's a cute cat."
""
"Anna taught yoga every morning and evening - she was fantastic. I didn't take surf lessons but Mohammad gave me some tips. Samira made all the food - it was all delicious and there was plenty."
""
"There are some tiny things that could be made even better, like maybe having more attention paid to lessons for non-beginners. It would be great to have something to keep the Mosquitos away when sleeping - maybe mesh to put over windows at night? and I think there are plans for a movie night on the terrace once a week... all in all it's a fantastic place with really friendly people and I'm really grateful for the week I spent there!"

"My retreat with Surf Coast Morocco was great. They took really care of everything, driving us to the surf lessons everyday and arranging everything that we may need. Surf lessons were great. We were changing surf posts almost everyday. Yoga was taught mainly in a lcoation nearby where you could hear the sound of the waves so that was a perfect location fo meditation. It would probably have been better if we could have had the same yoga teacher during the whole week but at the same time, that gave us the opportunity to explore different teaching styles. And one important thing: the cooking from Ahmed (who was cooking us dinner every day) was delicious."

"My time in Morocco with Surf Coast Morocco was amazing!! Reda took such great care of me, making sure I was in need of nothing the whole time I was there. I'm spoiled!! The surfing was great and he took me to different beaches almost every day. The yoga was a perfect match with the surfing. The food was delicious, the accommodations were perfect and I met so many people from all over Morocco, Europe and Canada. Can't say enough about Reda and the great retreat he provided. He's so good at his job and a great guy!! The staff at the hostel were amazing, especially Ahmed!! The surfing instructors were so much fun, Khallid, Yusef (spelling?)!! One of my top vacations and I would highly recommend it to everyone!!"

Review by Doug from New York

"Had one of the best trips with Reda at Surf Coast Morocco, he went over the top to be accommodating to all requests and help to arrange other activities outside of what was included in the package. Youssef our surf instructor was absolutely great at giving out pointer and even showed off a few of his own tricks. The day trip to Paradise valley was one of the high points of the entire trip. Could not more highly recommend this trip."

Review by Laura from Belgium

"My stay with surf coast morocco was amazing. I was there for two weeks at the beginning of September and I had the best time. I was looking for a yoga retreat and found this one which offered yoga and surf so I thought I would give surf a go too and it was the best decision I took. I wasn't very lucky at the beginning as I was supposed to land in Agadir and my plane got diverted to Marrakech because of a sandstorm.The manager of Surf Coast Morocco, Reda, waited for me in Agadir from 5pm to 1am, he didn't even seem to be annoyed, he drove me to the hostel in Taghazout and stopped on the way to buy me food as I hadn't eaten all evening. The people in the hostel were so nice, they cooked amazing traditional Moroccan food every evening and they even asked what we wanted to eat and followed our requests. It was delicious every time. "
"We had yoga in the morning at 8, then breakfast, then we would go surfing from about 10:30 to 4 pm, then yoga again at 6. One day I had surfed for so long (I chose to do that, they let you rest whenever you want) that the next day my legs were so sore I couldn't surf. Reda drove me to a massage place where my muscles could relax while the others went surfing. He was always doing his best to make everyone happy and he always drove us wherever we wanted to go. "
"I didn't feel like I was part of an organized trip as everyone was so cool, I felt like I was on holidays with friends. "
"We had a lot of different yoga teachers which allowed us to explore different styles of yoga."
"I can't believe I started with any experience at all in surfing and after two weeks I had learned how to turn and I surfed a couple of big waves."
"I am really happy I did this retreat. It was the perfect holiday: sport, fun, some night outs and I got to discover and experience Moroccan culture which is beautiful. People are so nice and welcoming. Reda and the others at the hostel take very good care of their guests. "

"I didn't know what to expect, when I started my trip, and a lot of things were different to what I imagined, but I had the best time on a vacation EVER. I was a little confused after my long journey when I was dropped off at the hostel, which looked different to the pictures of the retreat, I saw before. But since I was traveling alone and booked a shared room, it was the best way to feel like being part of the community from the first moment on. I stayed a whole week to do some Yoga and learn how to surf but I got a lot more. Reda was the best host, you can imagine. We were talking every day about what to do or what to see and he was taking care of everything. It felt like having a djin with unlimited wishes. We had trips to the souk, hammam, paradise valley or a party at a nearby beach hotel. We always had a great time at the beach, although it was off-season and you had to be patient to wait for the good waves. The food at the hostel was always fresh, local and very tasty. Every night we finished dinner with a tea ceremony and the cook was always interested in what cravings the guests had (since I'm a dessert-person he made us fruit salad some of the nights!) Although I was travelling alone for the first time in my life, I never felt alone or lonely. I met so many nice and interesting people and everybody else felt the same hospitality as I did. I will for sure come back some day."

"Taghazout is magical. It was my favourite place in Morocco by far. The hostel I stayed in was less than a 10 second walk to the main street, from the terrace you could check the surf at 3 different beaches. The atmosphere was great too with communal dinners every night with the most delicious Moroccan meals being prepared so freshly. What made this experience so outstanding was the unbelievable hospitality that was shown to me by all the staff including Reda, the surf instructors, the hostel staff and the yoga instructor. As a solo traveler they welcomed me so graciously and made me feel like family. They were able to help me with anything I needed and were so happy to do so. I was driven anywhere I needed to go including which beach was best to surf on that day. Some of my best memories are cruising down the coast with the windows down and a stack of about 5 boards on the roof of a small car. I spent a day out in Paradise Valley jumping of the high cliffs into deep blue swimming holes. On the way out there we stopped in at an Argan oil farm and saw how it is made which is something you need to do if your going to by any of this magical oil. The surf in Taghazout was perfect for me to learn on when I was there (in May) and the boards and wetsuits were in good condition. Taghazout is such a small place it only took a few days for me to feel like I already knew most people. Overall this was the high light of my trip and I loved every second of it. It had a very relaxed feel so I could choose what I wanted to do each day. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Morocco. "

Review by Kate from Europe

10 out of 10

"I stayed with Surf Coast Morocco as a solo traveler - my first solo holiday abroad and my first time surfing, so I was unsure of what to expect. I couldn't have been made to feel more at home. I stayed at the camp's (much smaller / quieter) accommodation in Tamraght, which is a nice little fishing village on a hill a few minutes away from Taghazout, where the camp's busier and bigger house is based. The Taghazout house is from what I understand a bit more of a party or communal experience, with more organised events based from there in the evenings, and may better suit people who fancy the fun of staying in a backpacker dorm with a large crowd. For my money though Tamraght is a more idyllic location and the smaller group in the house (just one other visitor plus me, at the off-season time I went, together with our live-in host Julia) was for me the perfect size (helped by the fact that we all got on so well!). The house is clean and cozily furnished and a quick drive down to the beach. What really sets Surf Coast Morocco apart however is the hosting. You are treated absolutely as if you are a family guest. My booking, for example, included all three meals - this turned out to mean that our host Julia or others from the camp would prepare us a different spread each day of fresh traditional Moroccan food, often on request, with snacks of our choice. We were driven everywhere by the extremely accommodating staff on the team - from the beaches to the souks, to the Taghazout house for classes - and again the attitude taken was that if you say you want to go somewhere (within reason!) one of the hosts will be happy to make it happen and drive you there. There was no additional charge whatsoever for these kind of outings, which I'm sure must be unusual on camps of this kind. Overall a really special stay, and one I would highly recommend. The Tamraght house in particular was perfect for a solo traveler looking to discover a new hobby (unlimited surfing and classes all day!) and make new friends."
