The expert's opinion
At Little Kasbah, we prioritize a high-quality approach to surfing with small groups, ensuring personalized attention and real progress for each participant. Sessions are led by an experienced coach who adapts the content to each individual's level, conditions, and goals. Imsouane offers long, gentle waves, ideal for learning, progressing, and refining your technique safely.
This trip is designed for beginners and intermediate surfers looking to solidify their fundamentals, build confidence, and improve their wave reading skills. The focus is on high-quality instruction, ample time in the water, and error analysis to ensure effective progress in a friendly and supportive environment.
Well-being also plays a significant role in the Little Kasbah experience. Yoga sessions for all levels are held on our rooftop overlooking the ocean, in a calm and rejuvenating atmosphere. Yoga naturally complements surfing by promoting mobility, balance, breathing, and recovery.
Whether it's to start the day gently or to relax after a session in the water, these moments allow you to reconnect with yourself and fully enjoy the soothing rhythm of Imsouane.
This combination of surfing, yoga and Moroccan lifestyle makes Little Kasbah an ideal place for travelers seeking progress and disconnection.

Each day, a surf session is led by our passionate and experienced local instructors. Groups are organized by skill level to ensure personalized progress for everyone, in a safe, supportive, and attentive environment. The session time is set the evening before, over dinner, based on tide, wind, and weather conditions, to take advantage of the best waves of the day in Imsouane Bay.
The sessions are designed to maximize time in the water and real progress: warm-up, personalized advice, simulations and feedback after the session allow you to quickly improve your technique and your reading of the waves.
After surfing, yoga sessions are offered on the rooftop , either at sunset or sunrise depending on the class schedule. These complementary practices help improve mobility, recovery, and concentration, while providing a moment of calm and refocusing while overlooking the ocean.
Between sessions, you'll have free time to fully enjoy the atmosphere of Little Kasbah: games, swimming, walks through the village, exploring the surrounding area, massages upon request, or simply relaxing on our rooftop with panoramic views of the ocean and sunsets. It's also the perfect time to chat, share experiences, and recharge.
Every evening, we gather around a convivial dinner, prepared with care and passion by our chef.
Days 2 to 7 -
Last moments in Imsouane, then goodbyes… and already the desire to return!
- Transportation Minibus - 02h - 80km
- Breakfast included
- Lunch not included
- Dinner not included
After a final breakfast overlooking the ocean in the tranquil setting of the Little Kasbah, it's time to leave. We'll take you to the airport according to your flight schedule, ensuring everything runs smoothly and peacefully until the very last moment.
You often arrive alone, sometimes without knowing anyone, and you leave with much more than just a surf or yoga trip: powerful encounters, bonds forged over the course of the sessions, shared meals, and moments of life at the Kasbah. Little by little, the group becomes a true travel family, united by a shared experience in rhythm with the ocean.
What remains are the smiles, the memories of the waves, the convivial evenings, and the feeling of having experienced something simple and authentic. And often, only one thought in mind upon leaving Imsouane: to return very soon.
Day 8
Note
Our program is flexible and adapts daily to the ocean conditions. We organize surf sessions at the most opportune time, depending on the tides, wind, and swell. It's not uncommon to head out early in the morning to enjoy a perfect spot before the crowds arrive, or to experience an unforgettable sunset session in exceptional light.
Imsouane is a unique spot, renowned for the quality and consistency of its waves. You can surf there almost 365 days a year , with conditions often ideal for progressing. On a daily basis, we alternate between the two main spots: Imsouane Bay , famous for its long, gentle, and accessible waves, and Cathedrale , more powerful and technical when conditions are right. This rotation allows us to constantly choose the best surf spot depending on the group's level and the day's conditions.
When the sea does not allow for safe surfing, a session can exceptionally be replaced by an alternative activity such as surfskate , in order to continue working on the basics (balance, support, coordination and trajectories) out of the water.
However, the weather and the ocean remain unpredictable: if conditions become unfavorable or dangerous, a session may be cancelled to ensure everyone's safety. In this case, we always do our best to offer a suitable alternative, but we cannot be held responsible for weather-related issues.
