Surf & Yoga retreats
After years of dreaming, our dream finally came true: we are hosting our very own surf retreats! As two people born with a love for hospitality and the ocean, this couldn’t be a better fit. In our retreats, we aim to give our guests the ultimate feeling of being away from home, good surf, and ultimate relaxation. Above all, we want them to experience the pure, local side of Morocco. Mehdi (co-founder of On The Wayve) was born and raised in Taghazout, and even though Morocco is becoming more popular among tourists, the authentic and untouched Morocco is still very much alive. Together with his cousins, mom, and many other family members, we brought this surf retreat to life. This way, we give back to the community, because the kindness they show to tourists is something they truly deserve in return.
Surf
Our retreats will be filled with surf. Surfing is the second love of both Mehdi and Roos. The way surfing connects you with the pure elements of nature works like therapy. At On The Wayve, we offer tailored surf lessons. For first-timers, we have beginner lessons, and for intermediate and advanced surfers, Mehdi is known as one of the best surf coaches in the area.
For all levels
The Villa
One of the key points of On The Wayve is comfort. That’s why we chose the Kiola Villa in Taghazout. This villa is owned by Mehdi’s cousin, and the art on the walls is made by a Moroccan family friend. It offers plenty of space, two kitchens, five double bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, a swimming pool, and a rooftop terrace perfect for yoga or sunset reading sessions. The villa is modern, with authentic Berber vibes, exactly how we would describe Taghazout.
Berber culture
Since Mehdi is a local from Taghazout, On The Wayve wants to show tourists the pure, authentic Berber culture. Mehdi’s mom will be cooking all the meals, homemade, with love. The Moroccan cooking class will be given by Mehdi himself. In addition, a Taghazout walking tour will be organized to explain more about the fascinating culture of this area. We want to give back to the community that has been so welcoming to every person who has visited this special place over the years.
Yoga
Surf and yoga form a perfect combination. The strength and flexibility gained through yoga are essential elements for surfing. Our villa features a stunning rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking views of both the ocean and the mountains in the area. Begin your day with a sunrise stretch. There is no better way to prepare for the perfect day ahead.
