7 Day Sun, Sand & Serenity: Ultimate Surf & Yoga Retreat for Mind & Body Renewal

According to availability, guests will be hosted in two different surf houses. ​No matter at which surf house you'll be located, all rooms will have an ensuite bathroom.

SantaCruz Surf Maroc's surf villa is nestled in the hills of the friendly surfer village Tamraght and just a short walking distance away from the beach, shops, and restaurants. Since the life of a surfer is very simplistic, they tried to aim for this in the design of the beautiful surf house.

Whether you're a solo traveller or coming with a family member or loved one, you'll find the accommodation spacious enough to suit your needs. The rooms are spread over four floors, most with an ocean view. The other rooms overlook the garden.

Relax, do some yoga, or simply look at the amazing sunsets from one of the two terraces.

The Moroccan cuisine is one of the most diversified and delicious cuisines in the world. While shopping in local markets and preparing food, cooking, serving, and eating any Moroccan dish, you will get to feel the remarkable influences of Morocco's long history of colonizers and immigrants who all left their marks and fingerprints in the country.

The first inhabitants, the Berbers, gave a big impact with dishes like tagine and couscous. The Arab invasion brought many new spices, nuts, dried fruits, and sweet and sour taste. These new influences upgraded the tagines with some new combinations, such as dates and lamb, as one of country's specialties today.

The Moors introduced amazing olives, olive juice, and citrus fruits, including the sophisticated preserving technique. During the Ottoman Empire, the nowadays so popular barbeque kebabs were introduced. Finally, the French left the big culture of cafes, pastries, and sweets.

It goes without saying that eating a Moroccan dish is not just eating, but much more than that. It is an experience of rich history, a connection with the food, and of course, a connection with the amazingly friendly Moroccan people.

Whether you are a newbie hoping to stand on the board or an advanced surfer looking to take your surf skill to the next level, Santa Cruz Surf Maroc welcomes all! Their experienced surf coaches will provide beginners with the necessary building blocks to achieve their goals and will help advanced surfers to fine tune their skills.

Since it is the ocean where you will be surfing, one of the most relevant skills to learn is how to read the condition of the sea. No matter which package you choose, they will teach you what you need to know about the sea, according to your level.

It takes time to master all the aspects of the sport, which is why they try to divide surfers according to their level. The First Wave package is for beginners. If you would like to accelerate your learnings, the private or semi-private package might be the solution for you. These packages are the same; however, they offer a lot more one-on-one time with your instructor.

The First Wave
Santa Cruz Surf Maroc's mission and commitment are for you to be able to stand on the board and ride a wave. You are guaranteed that they will make you stand on the board and be able to surf a wave, even if you have never seen the sea before.

The only thing that you are asked for is that you are able to swim. If you are not able to stand on the board by the end of your holiday, then your holiday is for free!
