The Spirit of the Amazigh and Atlantic

RETREAT

Come stay with us

We invite you to come stay with us — surf the day away and chase seagulls on an empty stretch of beach. Play with the donkeys or soak up the eternal sun. Take a hike along the rugged mountains and dip your fingers into a terrific tajine.

Perhaps you want to fish, make a fire, or speak with the rocks — do whatever your heart tells you to. Or maybe you'd like to do nothing for a while and, simply, be. Above all, we like you to feel free.

Our stylishly decorated Berber house features six rooms arranged around a central courtyard. Four rooms have private bathrooms, and two share a communal shower and toilet.

Whether you stay for surfing, retreating, or working on a project, you’ll find a space that feels both comfortable and inspiring.
