A coastal wellness + cultural retreat in northwestern Africa for the adventure seeker (+ beach bum) in all of us.
SOLD OUTIf you're in need of a reset for body, mind and soul - there's no better place than in the sunshine of the beautiful beaches of Morocco.

If you're ready to explore the far corners of the globe and don't want to go it alone; this is one of our most popular retreat experiences to do just that. You'll leave our week together refreshed, revived and with an entirely new sense of the world. *Please note we are requiring proof of COVID vaccination (including a booster shot) and a pre-retreat test for all 2022 retreat guests * - Group Size: 12-16 Guests - Luxury Score: 3 (out of 5) - Activity Score: 3 (out of 5) - Moderately Active - Cuisine: Plant-Based / Vegetarian
In addition to our owner and Chief Zen Officer Anna, each Above Yoga retreat has one or two additional certified yoga teachers on-site who will lead a portion of the classes and support students in their practice. We find that an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes with various teaching styles adds to our guests’ overall retreat experience.

SOLD OUTMorocco is a conservative, Muslim country where respectful dress is important. While these coastal towns are much looser and more open on this, part of being a good traveler is adapting to your host country. Therefore we recommend that knees and chests are covered with light flowy clothing while in town. On the beach or at the retreat center: shorts, bathing suits and yoga clothes are absolutely fine. Please note that as with all of Morocco, alcohol is minimally available, however we will offer a glass or two of the lovely local wine with a few of the retreat center dinners. Most guests have found that the extensive tea options are a wonderful substitute. If having an alcoholic beverage every day is important to your vacation experience, we would suggest a different retreat choice.
You will need to arrive between 11:00 am - 5:00 pm at the Agadir Al-Massira Airport (AGA) on Sept 8, 2022 in order to use the included ground transportation. If you arrive outside of those windows, we will assist you in booking transportation to the retreat center, which you can pay on your own (about $20). You may also find flights into the Casablanca Airport (CMN) or the Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) and then either take a small local flight on Royal Air Maroc from those airports to Agadir (AGA) or we can help you set up ground transportation to the retreat center. American Airlines flies directly from the US (JFK Airport to Casablanca). We are happy to help you find appropriate flights, however you will need to book them on your own. For departure plan to have a flight between 7:00 am and 2:00 pm out of the AGA airport on Sept. 14, 2022. Or, may of our guests on the last retreat made plans to continue to travel within Morocco or Europe and kept the fun going even longer!
All Above Yoga retreats in 2022 will require proof of a COVID vaccination for all guests, including a booster shot. Currently, we are also requiring guests take a pre-retreat COVID test (either a rapid test within 48 hours of the start, or a PCR test with 72 hours). Please note, depending on your flight path and current regulations, your requirements for testing may be stricter than the above. As of January 2021, the U.S. government also requires a negative rapid COVID test prior to return to the States, this can be taken at the villa. Masks will be required for ground transportation to and from the airport and to any off-site activities accessed by car (and wherever required by local authorities). We highly recommend that you buy comprehensive travel insurance in case you are not able to travel or have issues while abroad. Allianz is a well-respected travel insurance brand that also has reasonable annual plans if you travel often.
All yoga classes, group meals and tours are completely optional. You may participate in as much or as little of what is offered as you would like. There will be ample free time to enjoy additional excursions such as riding camels on the beach, spa appointments, surfing lessons, horseback riding and more. We can help you book these on-site and will pair you with other guests who may wish to join. All yoga and meditation offerings will be accessible to all levels of practitioners. All Above Yoga retreats are adults-only. All guests much be 21 years or older.
