Experience Yoga & Surf has you have never done before
If you are searching for a retreat dedicated to the power of yoga with some feel-good surf in between, then look no further!
The Yoga Surf Retreat at Villa Mandala provides our most comprehensive week of yoga, rooted in practice, presence and the yogic values that guide it. Expect diverse, thoughtful sessions each day, complemented by surf for those who want to feel the ocean as much as the mat.
Villa Mandala offers the quiet, space and rhythm you need to truly settle in. It is the ideal place to dive into transformative yoga while also catching a few waves along the way.
The Best Yoga Surf Retreat in Morocco
On the rugged Moroccan coastline, Villa Mandala is your calm, nurturing home for the week: lush gardens, peaceful living areas, a swimming pool, a cold plunge, and an ocean-view shala that sets the tone for practice. At the heart of the retreat is the Mandala team: experienced in-house teachers and hosts who create a warm, grounded atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
Your days unfold through a balanced rhythm of thoughtful yoga sessions, nourishing meals and surf sessions adapted to the group. Morning practices build clarity and strength, while evenings focus on restoration and deeper awareness. Surfing brings a playful, energising element to the week — always optional, always adapted — complementing the yoga without ever competing with it.
The retreat is designed to reset the body, steady the mind, and leave you feeling restored long after you leave. A genuine immersion into movement, stillness and the slower pulse of coastal living.

FAQs
Your commonly asked questions answered. If you still have questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.
Can I stay less than a week?
If you would like more time flexibility, please check out our Surf Guiding and Surf Coaching options at Amouage or Taghazout Villa. You can add daily yoga classes to your trip, while keeping total flexibility.
Do i have to attend every class?
Not at all, we encourage everyone to do as much or as little as they like, to create ‘their own’ perfect holiday.
What should I bring with me?
Yoga clothes, beach clothes, sun cream (as it’s more expensive here), something warm for the evenings & early mornings (almost any time of year, just in case, especially between December and March), a good book for the beach, something to cover shoulders/legs for markets/towns ladies (not essential but easier to respect local culture). Mostly bring an open heart.
We’ll provide you with a beach towel, and towels in your room and 2-prong European plug socket adaptors, so no need to bring yours.
I'm a complete yoga beginner. Is the retreat suitable for me?
Yes, absolutely! Our experienced and extensively trained teachers create classes for all levels. We set solid foundations at the start of the week for complete beginners and there are always plenty of options and modifications to enable beginners and seasoned practitioners to deepen and develop their practice. Inspiration for everyone is guaranteed!
I'm thinking of going alone. Are there other people travelling solo?
Yes, lots of guests on our Yoga Surf Retreats are solo travellers. We’ve created a truly friendly, relaxed vibe at Villa Mandala. It’s very welcoming and easy for solo travellers to feel completely at home straight away!
My partner and I are different surfing levels. Is this a problem?
Not a problem at all. We always have at least 2 surf instructors on our Yoga Surf Retreats. So we can split the groups as necessary according to differing levels and we’ll always go to the best spot for your level. If you or your partner wanted to miss some morning yoga classes to join a more advanced group from our other venues, we can arrange this too.
Are the retreats good for couples?
It is a social, communal holiday in the sense that you practice yoga, surf and eat breakfast and dinner together as a group each day. So, it’s great for couples who are keen to socialise and meet other people. There are options to take time out alone too and the villa is spacious enough to find your own quiet corner to relax.
Do I need to have any surfing or yoga experience?
No! Our experienced & talented yoga teachers & surfing instructors are very capable of teaching all levels. Complete beginners are very welcome. We instruct precisely & innovatively on all the basics & always offer advanced options so everyone may progress during their stay.
What styles of yoga do you teach?
We draw together our years of study, diverse influences and myriad trainings to create inspired Vinyasa flow classes. On a Yoga Surf Retreat the mornings are dynamic flow, themed with aspects of the yoga philosophy, chakra system and/or anatomy and physiology. The evenings are restorative, yin based meditative practices to unwind after a day in the surf.
Is the surfing suitable for beginners?
Yes – and we love getting people out on the waves for their first time!
Taghazout/Aourir is spoilt with beautiful surf spots that are perfect for beginners, and we have our great surf instructors to help you ride the waves. We welcome surfers of all levels, and our experienced surf coach will be taking you out on the waves each day (if you wish) and choosing the best places for everyone to have their lessons and safely practice surfing…and have lots of fun.
Do I need to bring my own yoga mat?
The beautiful yoga shala is fully equipped with yoga mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, lavender eye pillows, and even sandbags!
Are there other activities on offer during the week?
During the week, as part of the Yoga Surf Retreat, we offer a day off from surfing to explore the souk of Agadir and the Argan oil cooperative.
If you wish, your host can also organise the following activities for you during your stay, in addition to your package: camel or horse riding, hammam, massage and other spa treatments. But also day trips to Essaouira (2.5 hours north), Taroudant (1.5 hours east), and Paradise Valley (25 minutes inland).
Is the yoga surf retreat always held at Villa Mandala?
Under 3 participants, we reserve the right to upgrade you to our location in Taghazout on Surf Coaching and daily yoga classes.
What time will I have to depart?
On your departure day, we ask guests to vacate their rooms by 10 am.
This is so our staff can clean and change the rooms on time. We will host the group until midday. If your transfer is later than that, we have plenty of suggestions for you to fill the time beforehand.
Don’t worry, we will talk about this during the week!
