The retreat

Tennis in the red city.
Kitesurf on the Atlantic.

Four days of tennis in Marrakech: private coaching on premium courts, match play, tactical sessions in the red city heat. Then three days in Essaouira, where the Alize wind off the Atlantic invites an entirely different kind of movement: kitesurf introductions, ocean yoga, and a full recovery week built around cold water and Moroccan culture.

8 to 20 participants. Private riad accommodation in both cities. This is tennis as it should be experienced: serious coaching in extraordinary surroundings, followed by recovery that is as deliberate as the training itself.
