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.

These weeks run with a partner
This retreat is not on open sale. We build it with a studio, a club or a clinic that brings its own group, and we open a date around their season rather than ours. Tell us who you would bring and when, and we will come back with a week.

Where you stay
Superior accommodation, chosen on the ground by our own experts.
Nothing on this site was booked from a catalogue. Every riad, camp, kasbah and guesthouse was found, visited and slept in by one of our experts before it was ever offered to a guest. The standard is superior throughout, and the reason is practical: after a day of walking, surfing or altitude, comfort is not a luxury, it is what makes the next day possible.
Visited before it is offered
Our team travels the country year-round. If one of us has not slept there, it does not go into a programme.
Original, never generic
Private riads, our own exclusive-use camp in the dunes, restored family kasbahs, guesthouses in Berber villages. Places you cannot book from a screen.
Comfort as a working tool
Real beds, hot water, quiet rooms, proper food. Recovery is part of the programme, not an afterthought.
Groups & circles
Coming as a group?
