About the Retreat
Morocco is full days, full plates, full stories. You wake up to the ocean, move your body, eat something you can't pronounce, make a friend who lives on a different continent, and fall asleep full.
Mornings start with a SALTY workout on the roof or the beach, then breakfast at the lodge — bread still warm, jam that ruins all other jam, mint tea poured from a height. Surf sessions run at the breaks around Taghazout, with a dedicated day trip up to Imsouane when the wind's right. If you've never stood up on a board, you will. If you've surfed for years, the Atlantic will still humble you a little.
Afternoons belong to Morocco itself. One day it's the souk in Agadir, haggling for rugs you didn't plan to buy. Another day it's Paradise Valley — a canyon walk that ends in swimming holes you'd have to see to believe. Another is quieter: a yoga flow on the roof, a long lunch at a local café, a nap with the windows open.
Nights stretch. Tagines on the terrace, fresh-caught fish grilled over coals, the sun going down over the Atlantic in colors your camera will not do justice. Some nights are quiet dinners. Some nights are not. You'll figure out which is which.
It's a small group on purpose. 20–25 people, room to actually know everyone's name, the kind of trip where by Day 3 the group chat is already out of control. You leave with a tan, a few bruises from Paradise Valley, a pile of photos, and a handful of people you'll be texting for years.

Sand & Sea
We're off to world-famous Imsouane for our 2nd surf lesson, one of the best breaks around. We'll have lunch by the sea before an afternoon of sand dune surfing. A day like this deserves some group sunset drinks, so we're hosting a cocktail party.

How It Works
Your Coaches
Morocco SALTY Meter
Morocco runs high on adventure and culture, medium on sweat, low on party. This is the trip for guests who want their days full of waves, walks, spices, and stories — and their nights a little earlier. Small group (20–25) means the friendships go deep fast. If you want beach club DJs until 3 a.m., see Sicily.
Group Size
How many people you'll share the experience with. 1 = ~6 guests, 10 = 60+.
Sweat Level
How intense and frequent the workouts will be.
Adventure
The dose of excursions, exploration, and off-the-beaten-path moments.
Culture
How immersed you'll be in local traditions, food, and community.
Party
The level of nightlife, dancing, and evening social energy.
Rest
The amount of downtime, relaxation, and quiet moments built in.
Real People. Real Retreats. No Script.
