Morocco
It's special to find a slice of the ‘exotic’ just a hop from the UK and it’s even better to be able to combine it with a retreat holiday. Morocco is a melting pot of cultures due to its location with strong Arab and French influences. It’s a safe choice if you’re on a solo spa break and if yoga and/or surfing are your thing then you need to try Paradis Plage with its very cool Rip Curl surf school. You don’t need to have tried surfing before and the yoga classes are for all levels as well. The sandy beaches and restorative spa treatments will encourage you to relax and unwind and the healthy food with authentic dishes will be a total treat.
The Yogi Surfer is a boutique retreat located in the bay of Taghazout, Morocco made famous for its perfect surfing conditions and breaks. This small retreat, ideal for a single traveller, brings together yoga and surfing lovers. The main emphasis is on the surfing with packages catering for beginners to advanced. All beginners are placed in a group of students with the same level of skills. Surfers with more experience may opt for the surf guiding with a local guide who will drive you to the best surf spots of the region depending on the conditions. The group yoga classes will complement your daily surfing, release your aching muscles and relax your mind. When you are not busy on the mat or on the board you can relax by the rooftop pool and juice bar or take advantage of the local area and cultural delights with mountain walks, desert experiences, Moroccan market visit and camel rides.
