Why should I stay in Sidi Kaouki?
Relax & Reset in Nature
Sidi Kaouki is a small village in the countryside of Essaouira. It is a hidden gem surrounded by the ocean and argan tree forests, and the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature so your mind can fully rest during your holiday. Think dusty roads, natural stone walls, and donkeys and camels wandering through the landscape. At night, thanks to almost no light pollution, you can see some of the most amazing stars, and if you are lucky, you might even catch a shooting star. Enjoy the beauty of wild, untouched nature and give yourself the rest you truly need.
Turquoise Brick offers the ideal place to fully experience everything Sidi Kaouki has to offer. Located in the quiet countryside and just a few minutes on foot from the beach, it allows you to stay close to nature while enjoying comfort and ease. Surrounded by open landscapes and far away from distractions, you will sleep under a sky full of stars, wake up to the sound of a neighbour’s donkey, and feel truly grounded. Our surf house provides a safe and welcoming space to relax, recharge, and reset, making it one of the best places to stay for a mindful surf retreat on the coast of Morocco.

Authenticity Meets Comfort
While the surrounding landscape keeps its wild charm, Turquoise Brick is a cozy and safe space designed with a deep appreciation for local aesthetics. Every detail reflects the authentic “beldi” design typical of the Essaouira region, featuring handcrafted wooden furniture, textiles, and traditional stone walls. Our rooms are simple and clean, blending cultural heritage with modern functionality to ensure you feel both inspired and at ease.
Compared to many surf camps in Taghazout or Imsouane, which are becoming increasingly touristy, our place in Sidi Kaouki is created in harmony with the local culture. We respect the local community and the surrounding nature, and we aim to offer you an authentic insight into life in a small coastal village in Morocco. One important part of this experience is food. You will get to taste some of the best Moroccan cuisine, including local specialties such as slow cooked tajines, traditional couscous, and fresh grilled fish.

Community & Connection
At the heart of every surf retreat in Morocco is connection, both with other travellers and with locals. Sidi Kaouki is a small village where local culture naturally blends with tourism.

To share this experience with you, Turquoise Brick was designed with connection in mind. Our large communal kitchen and dining area bring people together for shared breakfasts and homemade dinners.

With plenty of space for group activities, yoga sessions, and casual hangouts, the house naturally encourages people to come together, creates community, and meaningful friendships.
