Itinerary
Day 1
Hello, Marrakech
Flashpackers, welcome to Marrakech. A mixing pot of African, European and Middle Eastern influences, this is a city steeped in rich culture and history. Upon arrival, check into your hotel, before we gather for our welcome dinner. Tuck into a delicious feast, getting to know your companions over a few glasses of wine as the sun fades over the Atlas Mountains.

Day 2
En route to Essaouira
We’ll begin the day with a yoga workshop at the hotel, where you’ll be introduced to dynamic vinyasa yoga under the guidance of a professional instructor. Then, after breakfast, we’ll head out together to explore the Medina. The oldest part of the city, this is a labyrinthine sprawl of cobbled streets, ancient walls and bustling souks. Step back in time as you peel back the layers of historical Marrakech, admiring the streets in their faded beauty. Then, come afternoon, we’re off to Essaouira. Located on the western coast of Morocco, this windswept city is an old fishing port with gorgeous white-washed streets and faded city walls. We’ll settle into our new city with an afternoon yoga session – feel the fresh Atlantic breeze lift your spirits. Then it’s time to replenish as we head out for dinner, trying out the delicacies that the coast has to offer.

Day 3
Explore Essaouira’s streets
After our morning yoga session, it’s time to roll your sleeves up as we get hands-on with a cooking class. Learn all about the wholesome flavours of organic Moroccan cuisine, using pure ingredients and cooking with soul – then enjoy the fruits of your labour. In the afternoon, we’ll head out to explore the sun-kissed streets of Essaouira, meandering down its cobbled lanes and ducking into its many souks and markets. After exploring the city’s nooks and crannies, it’s time to unwind with our daily afternoon yoga session, before heading out for dinner. Each evening will follow a similar structure, where we give you a chance to fully relax through regular yoga sessions followed by dinner.

Day 4
Surfs up in Imsouane
Wake up with our morning yoga session, then we’re off for a drive down the coast to the town of Imsouane. This small town is one of Morocco’s best kept secrets, well and truly off the tourist map, yet serving some of the best surf along the coast. With long, rolling waves lapping up on remote shores, this is a surfer’s dream. Learn the basics of surfing and see how many waves you can catch, or simply relax on the beaches. Then, in the afternoon, we’re heading further down the coast to the village of Taghazout. While small and remote, this fishing village is an unspoilt gem and a mecca for surfers. Enjoy its windswept beauty and tranquil environment – perfect for sunset yoga on the beach.

Day 5
Yoga, meditation & surfing
Ease into the day with a morning yoga workshop, then we’ll hit the waves again for a few hours of surfing. This is an opportunity to build on the skills you learned yesterday and take your technique to the next level. Today is all about surfing, so take things at your own rhythm as you hone your abilities. After a day of refreshing activity, we’ll unwind with an evening yoga session before filling up on a well-earned dinner.

Day 6
Mastering the surf
Wake up with our morning yoga session, then we’ll spend today on the beach again savouring our final day of surfing. And if you want to rest your muscles instead, bathe in the (hopefully) glorious sunshine with a book or a podcast, or head out to explore the village. Then, in the evening, we’ll enjoy an organic feast as the sun goes down.

Day 7
Simple pleasures
After our morning yoga, the morning is free to do as you please. We’ll gather again for lunch, which will be in the home of a local Berber family. Come afternoon, we’ll walk off our lunch out with a gentle hike in the surrounding mountains. Admire the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, watching as the waves lap up against the shore. Nature has a wonderful way of grounding you in the present moment; let the natural surroundings of the coast revitalise you. We’ll unwind in the afternoon with our final yoga session – an opportunity to reflect on the last few days, the places seen and the new skills learned. We’ll then head out together for our farewell feast.

Day 8
Goodbye, Taghazout
After breakfast at the hotel, it’s time to say goodbye. It’s been an action-packed week: you’ve explored the Medina of Marrakech; wandered through the sun-kissed streets of Essaouira; learned how to surf in Imsouane; and honed your new skills to mastery in Taghazout. Not only that, but you’ve explored your mind and body in daily yoga workshops alongside a group of like-minded people. If you’re not quite done with wellness, check out our other trips and see how you could extend your escape.
