Q&A: Your questions answered
- Do I need to be experienced in yoga or surfing?
Not at all. Our yoga teachers and surf guides work with all levels. Complete beginners are very welcome. We provide equipment, boards and coaching.
- What should I pack?
Yourself, and your clothes. That’s it. We’ve got yoga mats and an extensive range of props, surfboards, towels and all the extras covered. Just bring swimwear, comfy clothes, sunscreen and your curiosity.
- What’s the best time to go?
Our yoga holidays and retreats run all year-round. The Morocco surf season peaks October to April for more advanced surfers, and there are waves for surfers of all abilities year-round. To be fair, that’s because it’s pretty much always warm with decent waves and golden sunsets.
- Can I come solo?
Absolutely! Many of our guests do. It’s a warm, welcoming place to meet like-minded people with plenty of space to just be yourself and engage or relax on your own at will.
- Are meals included?
Yes… delicious vegetarian food is part of the retreat. Our exceptional chefs lovingly create: breakfast, packed lunch, dinner, snacks and afternoon tea. All tailored to your dietary requirements.
- What if I don’t want to partake in yoga or surf every session?
No problem. There’s the pool, the ocean, the town, massage or hammam, horse riding and more or less! You can skip anything and everything. It’s your retreat, after all.
- Do I need to bring yoga or surf gear?
Nope. Our yoga retreat center is fully equipped. We provide everything you need from yogi grip dot towels to lavendar eye bags!
