Lavidasurf Reviews 

Daily yoga, meditation and nutritious meals prepared with love and intention. It was a blessing to be able to retreat from the noise and return back to myself. Thank you La Vida surf 💛 thank you everyone I met there who was present, loving and supportive.

I had such a wonderful and peaceful time at La Vida Surf Retreat. The villa and rooms are beautiful and very well looked after, and the garden is so green and fresh — such a lovely place to slow down and relax.

Everyone working there is incredibly kind, attentive and caring. And the food… honestly, every meal felt like a little celebration — delicious and beautifully presented every single time.

I’m really grateful for this experience and for the time I had there. I would definitely recommend La Vida to anyone looking to disconnect, recharge and get some proper, deep rest. 🤍

I had such a wonderful experience at La Vida Surf ✨Honestly, one of the best yoga retreats I’ve been to. Everything was so well organized, including my transport from Marrakech to Essaouira, which made everything super easy from the start.

The food was amazing, fresh, and delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Ayoub and Elena were always around to answer my questions and help with anything I needed , so don’t hesitate to ask them! 😊

I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and really grateful for the experience. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend La Vida Surf! 🧘‍♂️

My daughter and I attended the yoga retreat at La Vida Surf in Morocco from April 26 to May 1, 2026, where 85% of the guests plus the yoga instructor suffered from fever, diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, and/or stomach cramps within 48 hours after arriving at such yoga retreat. The only common factors among the 11 guests who got sick were that we ate food prepared by La Vida Surf’s kitchen and used the yoga retreat's public areas. Fruits and vegetables were not washed with disinfected water. Instead, I saw the kitchen staff wash them with brown water from the kitchen faucet and sink. In addition, every day the Retreat Director introduced into the yoga retreat a dog with severe skin infections. Such a dog entered guests’ rooms (it entered mine uninvited) and touched the water in the pool, creating the risk of transmission of its bacteria, virus, or fungus. A sick dog should be loved and cared for, but not at a yoga retreat. In the morning of May 1, 2026, a guest shared with us that she had found a rodent in her bedroom the prior night. I left the yoga retreat really sick and weak.

Two weeks in paradise!
I just spent two weeks and the yoga and meditation retreat at La Vida Surf - and I must say WOW!
I was looking for a calm place to treat my concussion and hoped to bring back some tools to implement the meditation and yoga in my daily life. And this was more than I ever could have wished for!

The manager and yoga teacher Elena was incredible! She was very considerate about my needs and adapted the yoga practice to fit my yoga level as a beginner. She made this stay the best I have ever done for myself!

The rooms are adorable and the Riad has many different corners and conmen area, which made it easy to either spend some time alone or be a bit more social. This place is simply amazing, with the most beautiful view of both the sea and the mountains - and last but not least I was spoiled with the most amazing Moroccan food!

I spent a week with these lovely people and I'm so glad I found them. Lavidasurf provides the perfect moroccan experience which includes surfing, great food, yoga, paradise valley, lovely evenings on their beautiful rooftop and a lot more. Aleksi and Nourdine are great host, always friendly always helpful and very caring. They absolutely know what they're doing. The bedrooms and facilities are clean and classy which is another reason why I instantly felt at home. I will definitely come back!

The guys are so chill and take care of you really well. Nourdine's cooking is amazing and yummy vegetarian option if you please! Great people both staff and other guests, great times on the terrace and out and about! Initially I did not love Morocco as I booked a package with another camp but with them it completely turned around and I would definitely come back to Taghazout. Make a trip to Paradise Valley as well if you have time.

The place is big and spacious with a nice mix of the Moroccan and European style. - Great view and you can walk to the beach in a couple of minutes. The roof top terrace is BIG - biggest in town I think, and they've just made a smoothie bar up there. :)
It's one of the newer surf camps in Taghazout and the guys behind have truly found their calling. Nourdine was a great surf instructor and Aleksi took did yoga/movement with us in the morning just after sunrise before breakfast and the first surf of the day. The location is pretty ideal with all the different breaks/beaches close by.
I miss Taghazout and the people at La Vida surf.
