Go beyond the dunes…
Waves, Markets, Spice & Spas
This is Morocco, SALTY style— sweat-soaked, invigorating, and packed with adventure. From the beautiful energy of Marrakesh to the laid-back beaches of Taghazout, every day is designed to keep you moving and having the time of your life. Think sunrise sweats, rooftop yoga, and pro-led surf sessions where wiping out is half the fun. Off the board, you’ll dive into hidden swimming holes, sandboard down desert dunes, and barter your way through vibrant souks. And when the sun sets? Beachside BBQs, rooftop feasts, and some late night dancing.
This trip is all about immersing yourself fully. You’ll eat the best food, work your body in new and fun ways, and challenge yourself in ways that feel as rewarding as they do exhilarating. Whether you’re paddling into your first surf break, sweating it out under the Moroccan sun, or laughing over fresh seafood by the harbour, one thing’s for sure—you may leave Morocco, but these memories will never leave you.

meter
The SALTY Meter is our vibe compass—a quick snapshot of what to expect on each retreat. It captures the energy and experience of the trip based on group size, accommodation style, local culture, and the blend of movement, adventure, and downtime we’ve got planned.
Group Size – How many people you’ll be sharing the experience with (1 = 6 guests, 10 = 60+) | Party – The level of nightlife, dancing, and evening energy. | Culture – How immersed you’ll be in local traditions, food, and community. | Rest – The amount of downtime, relaxation, and quiet moments built in. | Sweat Level – How intense and frequent the workouts will be. | Adventure – The dose of excursions, exploration, and off-the-beaten-path moments.
