For retreat leaders

A whole house, a rooftop and an ocean view

Yara Lodge is small and independently run. When you host a retreat here, the house is yours: eight bright rooms, shared tables, and a rooftop where morning practice turns into breakfast.

We take care of the details (rooms, meals, transfers and surf lessons) so you can focus on what matters: your participants, your programme and the experience you want to create.

Your host

Hello, I’m Ghita

After many years in Paris, I felt the need to reconnect with a slower, more meaningful way of life. I created Yara Lodge as a peaceful little haven where people can slow down, unwind, recharge and feel at home.

Inspired by the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, I wanted more than a place to stay: a home away from home, with a family-like atmosphere where people share stories, make real connections and leave with memories that stay with them.

Questions

Retreat FAQs

How many guests can Yara Lodge host for a retreat?
With exclusive use of the lodge we sleep up to 22 guests across eight rooms: three doubles, two double-or-twin rooms, two triples and a six-bed female-only dorm. The rooftop takes up to 6 mats at a time, so larger groups practise in turns.
Can we book the whole lodge?
Yes. Retreats are hosted on an exclusive-use basis, so the house, the rooftop and the team are yours for the length of your stay. Your room as retreat leader is included.
What’s included, and how is it priced?
The whole house costs 5,500 MAD per night in low season and 7,500 MAD in high season, with breakfast included, for a minimum of 3 nights. Full board is 650 MAD per guest per day (or lunch 120 MAD and dinner 180 MAD). Airport transfers (350 MAD per car) and group surf lessons (350 MAD per person, equipment included) can be added.
Can you cater for vegetarian or gluten-free groups?
Yes. Our local cook prepares traditional Moroccan dishes with seasonal ingredients, and can cater for vegetarian, gluten-free, halal and kids’ meals. Tell us about allergies when you enquire.
What are the deposit and cancellation terms?
A 30% non-refundable deposit confirms your booking, and the remaining 70% is due at least 30 days before arrival. More than 30 days before arrival, the deposit is kept but nothing more is charged; within 30 days the full amount is non-refundable, and there are no refunds for no-shows or early departures. Date changes may be possible, subject to availability.
When is the best time to run a retreat in Tamraght?
Tamraght has sunshine almost all year. Surf-and-yoga retreats are most popular from autumn to spring, when the Atlantic swell is most consistent; summer suits beginner surf and yoga or wellness retreats.
How far is Yara Lodge from the airport?
Agadir Al Massira Airport is about 45 minutes by car. We organise group pick-ups at 350 MAD per car each way, so everyone arrives together.
We’ve never run a retreat before. Can you help?
Yes. As a small, independently run lodge we take a hands-on approach: we’ll share a sample itinerary, help with meals, activities and logistics, and adapt to your vision, so you can concentrate on your group.
