The founder of La Vida Surf Nature Retreats, Aksu, embarked on his journey through a connection named Hosni, who introduced him to Morocco's captivating potential. It was Hosni who shared the story of Imsouane, a quaint village, and a beachside house adjacent to an enticing point break, promising an epic wave. Imsouane was then just beginning to embrace electricity and the surf scene was in its infancy. A decade passed since that conversation as Aksu traversed the country for five years. It was in the idyllic village of Ait Ahmed, perched above the renowned fishing haven Taghazout, that he finally found the house of his dreams. Here, he brought his vision to life and established La Vida Surf Nature Retreats - a haven built with reverence for nature's preservation and a commitment to fostering unforgettable moments.
