The retreat

Surf in the morning.
Volley at sunset.

Eight days on Morocco's Atlantic coast at Taghazout. Daily surf coaching from certified local instructors at the village's legendary breaks. Mornings open with yoga on the sand, afternoons close with beach volleyball matches as the sun drops into the ocean.

8 to 20 participants. Two beach sports, one ocean, the longest sunsets in Morocco. Argan forest walks, fishing village visits, hammam and a Moroccan cooking evening complete the week. All levels welcome.

The experience

What awaits you

Daily surf coaching

Two surf sessions per day with certified local instructors at Anchor Point, Killer Point and Hash Point. All boards and wetsuits included. Beginner to advanced groups separated.

Beach volleyball at sunset

Tournament-style matches each evening on a private stretch of Taghazout beach. Two regulation nets, professional ball, organised teams. The afternoon wind drops to perfect conditions by 5 pm.

Morning yoga on the sand

Sunrise yoga sessions on the beach with an ocean view. Vinyasa flow on rest days, restorative yoga after surf days. The practice that holds the week together.

Argan forest & village walks

Half-day excursions in the argan groves above Taghazout and into the neighbouring fishing villages. Local guide, oil tasting at a women's cooperative, lunch with a Berber family.

Atlantic cold plunge

Daily ocean immersion after the morning session. The Atlantic at 19-21 degrees in June, the elemental version of the recovery protocols you read about online.

Hammam & cooking

Traditional hammam ceremony mid-week. A private cooking class with a local Taghazout chef using fresh fish from the village port, vegetables from the souk and the slow rhythms of Moroccan hospitality.
