In my selection of the 5 Best Surf & Yoga Retreats in Morocco, I have picked the top hotels and resorts that will teach you to surf and yogi without breaking the bank and whilst maintaining a certain level of luxury. If you are looking for true luxury, Paradis Plage must be your first and only choice, but all these retreats give you a chance to surf as the sun rises on a warm sea and stroll along a beach on a warm evening. However wealthy you are, it is these special moments that make life so magical. Feel the warm sand between your toes and head to Morocco.
1. Paradis Plage Surf Yoga & Spa Resort
Located 45 minutes from Agadir airport and 5 minutes from Taghazout, a href=”/2016/01/paradis-plage-surf-yoga-spa-resort-review/”>Paradis Plage Surf Yoga & Spa Resort combines Yoga with surfing. Staying here is all about achieving the perfect balance of body and mind.
Built over two floors, Paradis Plage enjoys both ocean and mountain views, and its geographical location in a bay protected by surrounding mountains means that it has the perfect microclimate year-round. Rooms are luxurious, and most first-floor rooms have spectacular sea views.
For restaurants, Paradis Plage offers organic Moroccan produce and traditional dishes. Try The Lounge, four relaxed outdoor dining and drinks next to the sea. The 27 offers à la carte Mediterranean and Moroccan meals, and Chiringuito is a surf house bar where you can grab a burger or a drink by the ocean.
In addition to the large hotel pool, Paradis Plage enjoys a superb position on a stunning 5 km long beach. Perfect for surfing, the waves boast a constant swell between April and September. Paradis Plage also provides a wide range of Yoga classes, including easy Yoga for beginners, aerial Yoga, yin yoga (to create flexibility in the connective tissue), and power flow – a more dynamic practice. Don’t miss the evening yoga sessions – the backdrop of sunsets over the beach will add a touch of magic to your practice. For keen surfers, yogis, or anyone who wants to relax in beautiful surroundings, Paradis Plage is perfect.
2. Surf Coast Morocco
Surf Coast Morocco designs your trip so that you have such a good time that it will be difficult to forget. Being primarily a yoga and/or surf holiday, waves are essential, and they promise to find amazing waves for your level, warm water, and sun all year long. What sets them apart is the special places they share with you, like the aptly named Paradise Valley, the friendly people who will share these experiences with you, the tasty food, the easy-going lifestyle, and the stunning sunsets.
Accommodation is based in Tamrakht and Taghazout. Healthy and hearty food is important with a delicious Moroccan and continental breakfast on the terrace, including Sweet Moroccan mint tea, fresh coffee and milk, Moroccan harira soup, freshly baked bread, omelet, pancakes, honey, jam, fresh fruit, cereals, cheese, olives, and eggs. After a long day of Yoga or surfing, a delicious dinner of international and Moroccan cuisine with hot tagines, fish or meat, veggies, fresh bread, and salads will wait for you on the beautiful terraces.
Qualified and encouraging instructors will help you to improve no matter your level. And if you need a day off – don’t worry! They will show you the real Morocco: vibrant souks, Paradise Valley, lively Marrakech, or just watch the waves on a camel’s back.
3. Revealing Vajra At Quaryati Ecolodge

Morocco is a North African country with a soul, a sensory experience, and a world away from Europe despite its geographical proximity.
