Surfing is one of the best ways to reset body and mind. In Essaouira you wake with the sun, move your whole body in the water, breathe Atlantic air and then refuel with fresh Moroccan food. Our Essaouira Surf School encourages guests to treat their stay as a mini retreat: early nights, long breakfasts, lots of water and simple, nourishing meals between sessions.
The medina is full of small restaurants serving grilled fish from the port, vegetable tajines, lentil soups and freshly baked bread. After your lesson we recommend avoiding heavy alcohol and instead drinking mint tea, fresh orange juice or still water. Combined with daily paddling and walking, this makes a week of surf feel like a complete detox from city life.
