You come here for a simple reason: to drop your shoulders. Mirleft is a fishing village on Morocco's Atlantic coast, an hour and a half south of Agadir, where the surfers on a beach can be counted on one hand. Supervised surf sessions, timed to the conditions — the ocean sets the hour, we follow; beginner or intermediate; lunch facing the ocean, home-cooked dinner at the camp; and all the rest of the time to do nothing. Agadir ↔ surf camp airport transfer available as an option.
Five, seven or ten days — you choose by how far you need to get away. Five days, the point where the body finally lets go of the city; seven days, when you stop counting them; ten days, when you stop counting altogether. Supervised surf for beginners and intermediates alike, meals included, transfer from Agadir optional. The rest — the swell, the late-afternoon light, the people you meet — we don't promise it, but we've watched it happen nearly every week.
The point where the body finally lets go of the city. Supervised surf sessions timed to the conditions, lunch facing the ocean, home-cooked dinner at the camp, and the time you don't fill.

For when you no longer want to count the days. The first days settle the body; the ones after are yours — long enough for surfing to become a habit.

On the third morning something loosens — we don't promise it, we just say so. A week on the Moroccan Atlantic, from the coffee before the session to the quiet of the evening.
