OVERVIEW

Manuela and I are delighted to welcome you to a magical week in sunny Morocco. This retreat was created as a joyful blend of yoga, ocean time, and local culture, all in a relaxed and authentic setting.

We’ll stay in a beautiful villa right on the beach, waking up to ocean views and ending the day with dinners under the stars. Our schedule moves gently between yoga and surf sessions, a visit to Agadir’s largest souk, a traditional tajine cooking experience, and time among the Sahara dunes.

Even if you are not joining the yoga or surf sessions, you are still welcome to come as a partner or friend. You’ll enjoy the villa, meals, and the atmosphere of Morocco, with the price adjusted accordingly.

Day 2 — YOGA, SURF + COOKING CLASS

Start with morning yoga and breakfast, then head to the beach for a surf lesson suitable for beginners and experienced surfers alike.

If you prefer not to surf, you can relax on the beach, explore Taghazout, go camel or horse riding, or enjoy a massage. In the afternoon, a restorative yoga session prepares you for a hands-on Moroccan cooking class, where you’ll learn to make and enjoy authentic tajin.

The day begins with an energizing yoga session, followed by an optional surf lesson for those who want more time on the board.

Day 4 — YOGA + AGADIR SOUK + ARGAN COOPERATIVE

Morning yoga and a generous ocean-view brunch set the tone for the day. In the afternoon, we visit Agadir Souk, the largest souk in Morocco, where you can browse local artwork, handcrafted goods, and fragrant spices.

On the return journey, we stop at a traditional Argan oil cooperative to learn more about this treasured ingredient. A comforting dinner awaits back at the retreat house.

Day 5 — YOGA, SURF + YOGA

Enjoy morning yoga, breakfast, and an optional surf session. The afternoon is yours to wander nearby villages, relax in seaside cafés, or treat yourself to a spa experience.

As the sun lowers, we come together for a slow grounding yoga practice before dinner and relaxed conversation.

Day 6 — YOGA + TRIP TO SAHARA SAND DUNES

After morning yoga and brunch, we head out for a day trip to the Moroccan sand dunes. There will be time to walk barefoot, take photos, explore, or try sand surfing if you feel adventurous.

We return to the retreat home for dinner and a calm evening together.

Day 7 — YOGA, SURF + YOGA

Our final full day begins with yoga and one last surf session. Whether it is your first time on a board or you are already confident in the waves, this is a chance to enjoy the ocean once more.

The afternoon is free for journaling, resting, or a final outing. In the evening, we close with gentle yoga and a farewell dinner celebrating connection, adventure, and shared memories.

Day 8 — RETURN HOME or...

The retreat ends with a peaceful morning yoga session and breakfast before check-out. A group transfer will take you back to Agadir Airport, leaving you with warm memories, new friendships, and a refreshed spirit.
