The Yoga Retreat Centre is based 2km north of Taghazout, a colourful
characteristic fishing village, famous for its great surf and
laid back, friendly atmosphere. We are 25km north of Agadir
and 45km from Agadir’s international airport. The artistic port
town of Essaouira is just over 2hrs north and the buzzing city of
Marrakech is 3 1/2hrs inland.
The retreat centre is based at the north end of Taghazout. The Centre consists of beautiful, chic apartments nestled between two stunning tranquil sandy bays - unquestionably ‘the
best’ on this stretch of Moroccan coastline. Each apartment is individually appointed in
contemporary Moroccan style and finished to the highest standard. All apartments have uninterrupted ocean views, 2 bedrooms: a twin and a double, 2 sun-filled private balconies, a fully equipped kitchen and a light and spacious living area which leads onto a balcony that looks out across landscaped gardens, infinity pool and ocean.
There is also one larger apartment which has three bedrooms. Rooms are doubles and twins, single rooms may be taken for a supplementary charge of £150.
Be prepared for a 'taste sensation'
Using only the finest and freshest local produce, our amazing chefs, make each day of your retreat a ‘taste sensation’.
After the morning yoga class breakfast in the sunshine is a feast of freshly squeezed orange juice, cleansing energy booster smoothies, special herbal teas for those wanting to detox or fresh Moroccan coffee,
tasty cereals, fresh fruits, Morocco’s creamy yoghurts and famous dried fruits and nuts, breads, eggs, crepes …
Lunch is on the beach comprising of fresh crispy baguettes, homemade veggie patés, veggie mixes, salads and cheeses, fruit and energy boosting treats.
Each day draws to a close with ‘homemade’ pre-dinner dips and delicious tapas followed by a scrumptious vegetarian or fish dinner. With culinary
flavours and recipes drawn upon from all over the world: The Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, Thai, India and of course Morocco…we guarantee you a rainbow concoction of flavours and colours to divinely
satisfy every palette…
We can adapt the meal times and all cuisine to suit you and your guests requirements, allergies, tastes and preferences. Please just let us know before you arrive…
Escape the noise and retreat to the ocean…
Yoga classes take place in an epic location under a stunning wooden pagoda at the water’s edge, just in front of the
apartments. Breathtaking views and the soothing sounds of the ocean help you feel instantly at peace.
The yoga pagoda is large and hexagonal in shape. Its primary central space accommodates a maximum of 14 students.
There will be one Yoga class
and one Pilates class per day
of 1 1/2 hour each.
