FAQs

We love to share our passion for surfing but also the beautiful depths of the Moroccan culture. Sharing local traditions and family dinners cooked by our mom-chef. Sharing dinners is where we truly connect here at Unwind.
Unlike crowded surf camps in Taghazout or Tamraght, our Mirleft surf weekend is designed for small groups (max 8 guests). This means more personal attention, authentic connections, and surf coaching that truly focuses on your progression. It’s not about packing the beach with people, it’s about quality, community, and growth.
We also believe surfing should be accessible. That’s why we focus on (long) weekend retreats, the perfect fit if you’re working, studying, or simply can’t take long periods of time off. A weekend is low-key, easy to fit into your schedule, and still gives you everything you need to recharge, progress in surfing, and experience Morocco’s authentic surf culture.

You can fly into Agadir Al Massira Airport, and from there we can help you arrange a transfer or guide you with transport options. Feel free to contact us when you want more information, or book your airport transfer. We always book you a private taxi, but in case other guests happen to be on the same flights we can organise a shared shuttle. In this case you are able to share the costs.

Mirleft has several surf spots to choose from, so we’ll always find the best conditions for your level. If the waves are too big in one spot, we’ll head to a sheltered beach. If they’re small, that’s actually perfect for beginners to practice. The ocean always has something to offer, and our local surf coach knows how to make every session valuable.

Lessons are given in English, and our coach can also help in French and Arabic. We make sure communication is clear and easy, so you can focus on surfing and having fun.

why mirleft?
Unlike the busy surf hubs of Taghazout and Tamraght, Mirleft offers a slower pace of life, wide open beaches, and untouched waves. Here, you can truly disconnect from the noise and reconnect with yourself, the ocean, and Moroccan culture
our vision
Our retreat is called Unwind for a reason. It’s your time to pause, recharge, and let the ocean wash away the stress of the week. Over one weekend, you’ll not only grow as a surfer but also reconnect with yourself, nature, and a supportive community.
We promise that when you leave Mirleft, you’ll take more than just surf skills with you. You’ll carry a sense of calm, new friendships, and the inspiration to step into the week ahead with renewed energy.
The food
In Morocco, meals are more than just food, they’re a way of coming together. Our homecooked dishes are prepared with love and passion, using fresh, local ingredients. Expect hearty tagines, colorful salads, and nourishing flavors that fuel your surf sessions. But beyond the food itself, it’s about the experience: gathering around the table, sharing stories, and building connections. This is the heart of Moroccan hospitality, and it’s one of the moments our guests treasure most
surf coaching
Surfing is at the heart of our retreat. With a certified surf coach by your side all weekend, you’ll receive personalized guidance and feedback. Thanks to our small groups, there’s plenty of time for individual coaching, so you can make real progress in just a few days. Whether you’re standing on a board for the first time or working on perfecting your turns, you’ll feel supported every step of the way.
