Wilde Tigmi as your retreat location
Wilde Tigmi is an ideal setting for retreats, accommodating 8–14 participants (including hosts), depending on the level of comfort you are seeking. The house offers a variety of spaces suitable for yoga, meditation, workshops, and both group and private work. A locally sourced vegetarian menu is available, and the surrounding environment supports a range of experiences—from forest walks right at your doorstep to a 45-minute walk to the beach. With 1.5 hectares of land, there’s plenty of room to create different zones, allowing participants to gather or find quiet moments as needed.
Our Spaces
-
The Land
The house sits on 1.5 hectares of land, nestled in the Argan forest at the foothills of the Atlas. Wander freely through the grounds, explore the surrounding forest, or take a 45-minute walk to the nearby secluded beach.
-
The Rooms
The stylishly decorated Berber house has five rooms arranged around a central courtyard: two double rooms (1.80 & 1.60 m, ideal for single occupancy or friends/couples), one room for the host(s), and two twin rooms with separate beds. Four rooms have private bathrooms, while two share a communal shower and toilet. For additional guests or flexible sleeping arrangements, the yoga studio can accommodate 4–6 people on comfortable Berber-style floor mattresses.
-
The Roof Terreace
Our expansive roof terrace spans the entire house, making it an ideal spot for sunset or sundown yoga, movement practices, ceremonies, or even ecstatic dance under the stars. Yoga mats and meditation cushions are provided, and we can also arrange a DJ for special dance sessions.

Our cozy Berber tent, about 20 m², is perched in a secluded spot on the property with views of the ocean. It offers a peaceful setting for sessions, gatherings, or shared dinners, combining intimacy with the natural beauty of the surroundings.

This indoor space is ideal for yoga, private practices, or ceremonies, accommodating up to 12 people (including the host). Yoga mats and meditation cushions are provided.

The Salon
The Salon is a beautiful space for food, connection, and gathering—equally suited for shared meals or meaningful circles and sessions.
-
Forest, Mountain & Riverbed
We are located in the Argan forest. From here you can visit the river bed, an amazing space for gatherings and ceremonies or explore the mountain.
-
The Beach
One of the perks of Tafedna is its beautiful beach. Empty sand dunes, surf, walks, or amazing spaces close to the mountains and rocks. Take your pick for an unforgettable ocean experience.
Food
Renting the house comes without catering, giving you the freedom to bring your own chef or opt for Wilde Tigmi’s in-house meal options.
For those who wish to rent the house with food included, we offer a nourishing menu—vegetarian (mostly vegan) or non-vegetarian for the whole group—featuring healthy, local, and delicious dishes. Meals include breakfast, dinner, and a generous midday snack. Think tajines, lentils, beans, fresh salads, dates, nuts, and more.
Please note that we don’t offer custom menu options or cater to specific dietary requests, other than vegetarian, as our wonderful local cooks specialize in traditional Moroccan cuisine. If you have particular needs or preferences, we recommend bringing your own staff or chef.

Having a car can be very convenient when visiting Wilde Tigmi, as we are about 4 km from the village of Tafedna and the local surf spot or if you like to see some more of the aerea.
