PRESENTATION
For 50 years, Paradis Plage was the Kabbage family’s “Garden of Eden. Khalid Kabbage is a dynamic entrepreneur, a pioneer in the processing fish oil for Omega 3 and one of the leading pillars of the fishing industry in Agadir. From his father, he inherited his passion for nature and his love for the ocean to which he has dedicated his life, both personal and professional.
Paradis Plage is the first Surf, Yoga & Spa Resort located in the Agadir region near the popular surf place of Taghazout, in the middle of some of the best surfing spots in Morocco.Edged by a 5 km long beach and a mountainous backdrop, Paradis Plage is the ideal destination set in a region rich in natural heritage and traditional multifaceted ways of life.
Far from the tourist crowd of Agadir and in the heart of a true oasis of 3 ha facing the Atlantic Ocean, Paradis Plage is the ideal place to relax and de-stress. Allow yourself to be pampered with a massage in the Spa, share the joy of small excursions exploring the natural beauty of the surrounding rural countryside, move with the tides and grant yourself the freedom to do what you love, rediscover the taste of the nature local products flavor and nurture your body and spirit, etc. This is the philosophy of Paradis Plage.
Established in a dune overlooking the sea, two bungalows surrounding a lotus pool were specially designed for the practice of yoga and meditation. Hatha yoga, Yin yoga and Vinyasa are offered throughout the year by Nico Shanti, our resident teacher at the Resort. Retreats are also organized and directed by Jax May (Formenterayoga) in collaboration with yoga teachers from around the world.
Live to the rhythm of the ocean, revitalize your senses, awaken your mind between surf, yoga or meditation sessions, or just be pampered in the Spa, enjoy organic cuisine and discover its kind Resort in Morocco for a 100% stress free holiday.

Rip Curl has laid on its entire technical know-how so that everyone can indulge in surfing, stand-up paddle, surfing or body boarding, with the best equipment and quality supervision.

Profile of our Surf Teachers S.E.A Manager & Surf Instructor
Christophe Rebecchini was born in Agadir, Morocco and took his first steps on the rocks of La Pointe des Ancres. Cradled by the soft Sun and the perpetual waves of the Agadir coast, it was only natural he took to the surf and followed in the footsteps of his father, Jeff Rebecchini, one of the first surfers of Casablanca. Whilst studying for his degree in Sports Management and Marketing in the South-West of France he also gained his Diploma as Surf Instructor at Hossegor. With his diploma in hand, Christophe began working as seasonal Surf Instructor on La Cote de Basques and other locations on France’s Southwest coast. Besides giving him valuable experience, it also enabled him to finance the first of his many trips to some of the best known surf locations around the world, including Indonesia, Canary Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Peru, Ecuador and Nicaragua...
After graduating in Sports Management and Marketing and with his passion for oceans, waves and beaches, Christophe was recruited as a project leader by the Surfrider Foundation Europe. It is with the support of this non-profit organisation that he decided to return to Morocco in 2009 to create and develop the Moroccan branch of the Surfrider Foundation, to protect and preserve the beautiful coast of his country of birth. Christophe has integrated his academic background and dedication to coastal conservation within the ethos of Paradis plage where today he is Manager of all sports activities, in particular the Surfing and Yoga centres.
