SURFING IS IN OUR SOUL

Opened in September 2018, Surf and Soul Morocco is the culmination of a dream between a nomad Big Wave surfer and an Australian ocean lover and Trend Forecaster, both of whom met whilst living in Germany and Austria respectively (yes stranger things have happened!). A belief in the ethos that true spirituality comes from within, they were inspired to set up a surf and yoga camp in one of the most beautiful, natural areas in Morocco.

More a lifestyle than just a surfing holiday, their ultimate aim is to help others breathe easy, and remember what life should be about.

Meet The crew

Our staff is our family. We work as a well-oiled team to make sure your stay is an amazing, one-of-a-kind experience. We can’t wait to welcome you home.

André - Owner & Surf Instructor

André is a former big wave surfer, a world wanderer and an ocean lover. Nothing excites him more than introducing guests to his great passion – the waves. A certified surf instructor he has travelled the world surfing the swells in Australia, Indo, Hawaii, Tahiti, France and Africa (North and South).  His mission in life is to introduce everyone he possibly can to the beauty, power and freedom of surfing. Trust us, with André, you are in the right hands.

Lee - Co-Owner & Host

Lee is the Australian in the crew. She is responsible for making everything run smoothly in the background. When you need her she’ll be there, happy to help. Otherwise she’ll be working on her main job – Trend Forecasting and Styling. Apart from the sun and surf, she loves interiors and creating a cool space for people to feel at home and relax in.

NAJAT - Stay Manager & Chef

The ever-smiling, always serene and incredibly gifted Stay Manager, Najat, will welcome you with her tantalizing traditional Moroccan cooking and sunny personality to make sure you feel right at home. Ensuring the Surf stay is clean and comfortable, and that everything you need is on offer, nothing is too big or too small for the magician that is our Najat.

Guest Yoga Teachers

Our guest Yoga teachers come from all around the world to stay and teach at Surf and Soul Morocco, bringing their own style and their own charm to the Surf stay. From Ashtanga to Yin yoga, each practice for each guest teacher is different. And that is just the way we like it – because that way we never get bored, and neither do you!

Teahupoo – The Boss

All-singing, all-dancing “The Poo” is the actual boss of the whole stay. A little girl with a big attitude, what she says goes. She will be there to get you up in the morning, make sure you make your surf or yoga class, and check you are enjoying the terrace at any time of the day or night. Mealtimes… well, she is just there! But BBQ night is her all-time fave. Just check your bags before you leave, she has a habit of tucking herself in there if she really likes you. And “The Poo” likes absolutely everyone.

I stayed at Surf & Soul for a short break in Jan 2020. The surfing was great – Andre caters to all abilities and is a very good surf teacher – by the end I was catching green waves! The accommodation is comfortable and relaxing – the highlight is definitely the roof terrace, being able to watch the sunrise/set and perfect for star gazing. I am looking forward to coming back. Thank you Lee & Andre!

Alphie Thomas, Solo Vacation

Surf and soul Morocco is an oasis of calm. I spent most of my time relaxing on the beautiful terrace and I slept longer and deeper here than I have in a long time. Oualidia is a great place for a surf and yoga retreat because its small and quiet. The lagoon is a perfect place to learn how to surf (as i was a beginner) and Andre is an amazing surf instructor as he is so passionate about it. I had an amazing time here with Andre, Lee and little Teahupoo. I felt completely at home at surf and soul, and hope to return back there soon.

Karen Stephen, Solo Vacation

Wir hatten einen super schönen Aufenthalt im Surf and Soul Haus bei André und Liane.

Das Haus ist sehr modern, neu und stilvoll eingerichtet.

Die Terrasse lädt zum chillen, entspannen und Sonne genießen ein.

Von der marokkanischen Haushälterin haben wir super leckere, typisch marokkanische Mahlzeiten bekommen. Daran konnten wir uns gar nicht satt essen.

Wer surfen lernen möchte ist hier genau richtig. André kennt sich gut aus und ist ein toller Lehrer. Außerdem sind die Bedingungen in der Lagune optimal und die Ausrüstung ist recht neu und hochwertig!

Beim Yoga wurden unsere Wünsche berücksichtigt und es hat Spaß gemacht.

Oulidia haben wir zusammen erkundet und kennen gelernt.

Alles in Allem haben wir die Zeit im Surf und Soul sehr genossen, konnten unsere Surfskills verbessern und können es auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen.

Wir haben mit 5 Leuten die Zeit in Oualidia sehr genossen. Sehr geräumige, hübsche, saubere Unterkunft mit einer tollen Terasse! André ist sehr hilfsbereit, herzlich und unterstützt wo es geht! Für alle möglichen Aktivitäten in der Umgebungen gibt es Tipps und nette Kontakte. Die Surf Spots sind wunderbar und bietet unterschiedlichste Bedingungen! Bei André kann man sich mit allem was man fürs surfen braucht ausrüsten.

Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.
