The Morocco Wave Oasis: Imsouane
31st Oct - 7th Nov 2026 | Jan 2027 Coming Soon
Beginner - Intermediate Surf Retreat from €2495
THE
MAGIC BAY
We couldn’t be more excited to share this special place with you...
Imsouane’s Magic Bay, where time seems to stand still as 800m right-handers peel beneath cliffs as gold as the setting sun.
It’s here that Oumono Club first took shape through skate meet-ups, donation based yoga sessions and charity dinners beneath the stars. It’s also where we hosted our very first all-girls paddle out, surrounded by laughter, dolphins(!!!) and the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’re walking on cloud 9 for the days and days that follow...
7 days on retreat
Some mornings begin with a glassy sunrise surf; others ease in slowly with coffee, breakfast and a stretch by the pool before heading down to the water. Daily surf sessions are guided by Maryam El Gardoum and the local coaches from Surf Hub, with personalised feedback in the water, plus daily video analysis, surf theory workshops and surf skate classes designed to build confidence, technique and flow.
Between surfs, we refuel with fresh, home-cooked meals at the villa, with a few evenings spent exploring the best local restaurants in the village. Midweek, we’ll head out on a day trip to experience more of Morocco’s landscape and culture. We close each day with grounding yoga to stretch, restore and reset — ready to do it all again tomorrow!
OUR WEEK TOGETHER
Between surf, skate, yoga and nourishing meals, each day has been carefully curated to help you recharge, grow and connect with yourself and your Oumono sisters. We’ve packed the week with coaching, theory workshops and activities to support your surfing progression.
Here’s a little glimpse of what’s ahead...
Dar Zitoun
Meaning “House of Olives,” this is our Oumono surf oasis perched high on the hill above the Magic Bay.
Wake up to the sound of waves below, pour yourself a coffee and watch the first sets of the day roll in beneath the breath-taking cliffs.
After a day of gliding and dancing through the bay, we’ll watch your surf clips in the cosy living room, practice paddle techniques in the pool, explore the surroundings and share Moroccan tea with your surf sisters on the most stunning terrace Imsouane has to offer.
Complete with talented chefs, the kindest concierge crew and an adorable house dog, Dar Zitoun is the perfect surf sanctuary for our Oumono Club retreat and we can’t wait to share this beautiful home with you!
Our shared rooms are spacious and perfect for friends or solo travellers looking to connect. Each room has a traditional Moroccan design, two comfortable beds, its own shower and toilet as well as an outdoor space with mountain, ocean or garden views.
The private suites are your secluded oasis for post-surf bliss and plenty of space to unwind. With ensuite bathrooms, these rooms provide complete luxury and privacy to help make your week extra special. Please note that we only have two of these rooms available, so be quick if you'd like to make one of them yours for the week!
As an athlete, coach and founder of DIHYA SURF SCHOOL, Maryam brings years of ocean knowledge, technical expertise and empowering female leadership to every session.
Alongside Maryam, the team at Surf Hub Imsouane brings deep local knowledge of The Magic Bay, helping you find the right waves, at the right time, with safety and progression at the heart of every session.
Whether you’re catching your first wave or refining your skills, our coaching is designed to meet you where you are and help you progress with confidence. Female-focused coaching, local expertise, sisterhood and plenty of surf.

Morocco Guidebook
Best friends, surf sisters and the heart of Oumono Club — we’ve spent the last decade chasing waves side-by-side, from surf camps in European summers to winter escapes in North Africa and Indonesia.
Courts is the team’s organiser (we call her “the Courtaniser”), she’s a British mermaid who swapped the 9-to-5 for a career of Surf Guiding in the Tropics and constant salty hair (RIP the long healthy locks). Her fun-loving nature keeps the energy high and everyone smiling.
Myks is the team’s cheerleader — a funky sock enthusiast from the North who left the cold behind for a life of wetsuits instead of winter coats. You’ll hear her “woop-woop”s echoing from the lineup as she celebrates every wave you catch. Loud laughs, endless encouragement and contagious stoke guaranteed!
Our souls are fuelled by surfing, sunshine and really good food — but our favourite part is you. The incredible women who join us, bringing new friendships, laughter and plenty of stoke along the way. We can’t wait to share waves, stories and golden Moroccan sunsets with you.
Here’s what the girls are saying…

I will treasure the week I spent with Oumono in my heart forever. Everything was beyond anything I could have ever imagined.On a personal note, this was my first time doing a long retreat completely on my own, and I felt at home the entire time.
The energy of Courtenay and Mykaela is so special. Both warm, thoughtful, attentive to every detail, with a great sense of humor, and beautiful open hearts.
All the activities they planned throughout the week were outstanding. We had so much fun, laughed a lot, and shared incredible moments. From dinner by the stars to surfing on sand!!
Oumono is the perfect choice if you are thinking of joining a surf retreat. Not only you’ll work on your surfing skills and improve, but also meet wonderful women and come back with a huge smile for sure.
Best experience ever!! Thank you so much.

If you are a woman and you surf the Oumono club is your go-to. Whether it is retreats or meet-ups, I feel like everything those girls are doing is led with love, kindness and genuine girlhood from start to finish.
Personally I attended an Oumono retreat in Imsouane in January 2026 and it was truly an experience I will always keep close to my heart. Words can't describe my feelings from joy and laughter to tears in awe of the beautiful moments we shared. Just experience it for yourself! :)

This trip blew my expectations out of the water and I’ll never forget it!
This was my first ever surfing retreat which was so far outside my comfort zone, but from the very moment I booked I felt completely welcomed and supported.
Courts and Mykaela are so welcoming, attentive to every little detail and full of such genuine kindness. They created such a great space and planned the week perfectly. It was full of so much laughter, encouragement and unforgettable moments shared with an amazing group of people.
Every part of the week was outstanding. From our surf sessions and cheering each other on in the water, to beautiful dinners and sunsets - it all felt magical. This retreat was so much more than just learning to surf. I left with new confidence, wonderful memories and people I’ll never forget.
If you’re thinking about joining, I truly couldn’t recommend Oumono enough. You’ll grow, laugh, challenge yourself and come back with the biggest smile.
Thank you so much!
