Wilde Tigmi as your retreat location
Wilde Tigmi is an ideal setting for retreats, accommodating 8–12 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.

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. However, many guests also do visit without a car, walking about 50 minutes to the village or 30 minutes to the beach. We can arrange a pick-up from Tafedna if needed.
