Here's what makes La Vida Surf so special
who we are
At La Vida Surf, we’re driven by a deep passion for the things that make life meaningful—nature, yoga, and culture. We’re not just about retreats; we’re about creating moments that matter. Everything we do is shaped by a desire to give back to the environment and support the communities that welcome us. Our experiences are crafted from years of connection—with nature and with people.
Connection: Our boutique hotel and traditional Moroccan riad aren’t just places to stay—they’re sanctuaries for slowing down, rediscovering yourself, and being truly present. Here, nature isn’t just scenery; it’s a living, breathing part of every yoga flow, and quiet reflection.
Simplicity: We believe the best moments in life are the simplest: a deep breath in nature, the flow of mindful movement, and the stillness of reflection. That’s what we offer—a chance to unplug, slow down, and let the natural world guide you toward clarity and peace.
Respect for Nature: Nature is our teacher and provider, and we’re committed to protecting it. From the way we design our spaces to the practices we embrace, every choice we make is rooted in respect for the earth and the communities around us.
Doing Things Differently: With roots in both Nordic and Moroccan traditions, we bring a unique perspective to everything we do. From the way we welcome our guests to how we lead yoga sessions,our approach is personal, meaningful, and refreshingly real. We aim to create experiences that linger in your heart long after you leave.

At La Vida Surf, we’re on a mission to protect the natural beauty that inspires us every day. Forests and oceans aren’t just resources—they’re the lifeblood of our planet. We know the importance of preserving these treasures.
