A surf and yoga retreat in Morocco combines a daily surf lesson with yoga, healthy meals and time to rest by the ocean. At PaddleOut that means morning yoga on our rooftop in Tamraght, a surf lesson at the beach that suits the day’s waves, lunch by the sea and dinner together at the house. It suits beginners and anyone who wants a holiday that leaves them both active and rested.
Why surf and yoga work together
Surfing asks a lot of the shoulders, hips and lower back. Yoga stretches exactly those places and trains balance and breathing, which helps when you pop up on the board or get held under by a wave. Many guests say the yoga is what lets them surf every day without getting stiff by midweek.
- Better mobility for a faster, smoother pop-up
- Core strength and balance on the board
- Calmer breathing when a wave holds you down
- Less soreness after long sessions

Do you need yoga experience?
No. Sessions are led by an instructor and adapted to whoever is on the mat, from complete beginners to people who practise every week. The rooftop yoga is optional, so on a morning when you want to sleep in, you can.

- 4-Day Surf & Yoga Retreat: three nights, made for long weekends and first-timers who want a taste of both. From €240.

Why Tamraght for a surf and yoga retreat
Tamraght is a quiet village between Agadir and Taghazout, with sandy beginner beaches a few minutes away and point breaks a short drive up the coast. The pace is slow, the sunsets over the Atlantic are long, and the weather is mild all year. It is an easy place to switch off. Read our Tamraght village guide to get a feel for it.
When to go
Any month works. Autumn to spring has more swell and fewer crowds on the beaches; summer is warmer with smaller waves, which suits beginners. See our guide to the best time to surf in Morocco for the details.
What is included
Every PaddleOut retreat includes your room at the surf house in Tamraght, daily surf lessons with board and wetsuit, transport to the beach, rooftop yoga, breakfast, beach lunch and dinner. Airport transfers are available on request.
