Villa Mandala

Villa Mandala is our oceanfront Yoga Retreat Centre that is dedicated to yogic values and practice. It’s the perfect place to escape and connect with your inner calm.

Villa Mandala operates slightly differently to our other locations where we run a schedule of Saturday-to-Saturday Yoga Surf Retreats. The retreat entails a comprehensive program of yoga alongside daily surfing excursions; it’s the place to go to for those of you who want to be immersed in a diverse and inspirational yoga practice whilst having the chance to catch some waves. Our renowned Yoga Surf Retreat at Villa Mandala has been featured in The Guardian and The Telegraph Travel, amongst many more publications.

Residing on the rugged Moroccan coastline, just outside of Taghazout, Villa Mandala boasts a lush garden, relaxing living areas, plunge pool, and yoga shala. Above all, the space has a caring and family-like environment created by our in-house yoga teachers, hosts, and team. Villa Mandala is also available for private hire for guest teacher retreats or training, for enquiries please email yoga@surfmaroc.com.

Eat & Drink

At Villa Mandala our chefs cook delicious vegetarian food made from local seasonal ingredients. Our menus are inspired by Ayurvedic tradition whilst including a delectable mix of Moroccan and international ingredients and recipes. Meals are balanced and nutritious – with many indulgent treats too!

For breakfast and dinner, guests are invited to feast together at sharing tables located on the terrace overlooking the ocean. Our communal meals punctuate the day and form a special part of the Villa Mandala retreat experience. For lunch, we provide a packed lunch for you to eat at the beach with your fellow surfers.

All meals plus afternoon tea and cake, are part of the Yoga Surf Retreat package. We are able to cater for most dietary requirements, so please just let us know.

Shala

The Yoga Shala, high on the roof top of the villa, is surrounded by fantastic views of beach, ocean and mountain. The shala’s wooden finish throughout and surrounding glass doors allow it to be enjoyed both as an impressive indoor studio or an open airy space for an unforgettable yoga practice.

The shala is fully equipped with yoga mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, sand bags & lavender eye bags. As well as plenty of incense, candles, a little Ganesha shrine (& beautiful dristi), built-in dimmer lighting, electric sockets and speakers; we also provide each guest with a their own yogi towel (drip dot mat) to use throughout the retreat to optimise your yoga practice and minimise your luggage!

The yoga shala is 6m by 11m, maximum capacity +/- 20 students.
