Just above Africa's endless right
Just above Africa's endless right
There’s something magnetic about Imsouane. Maybe it’s the light, the way it filters through morning mist and warms the ochre cliffs. Or maybe it’s La Baie, a magic wave drawing surfers from across the world to this fishing village turned longboard mecca. What brings people back though isn't just the wave, it’s the particular alchemy of elements.
Imi Bay stands above it all, with an architect's eye for both surf and serenity. From your bed you can watch longboarders trace elegant lines across the water, or step out and join them. Beach, breakfast, yoga, and sunset drinks are all just barefoot distance from your room.

Rooms
Imi Bay’s five rooms are a lesson in minimalism-chic. A neutral palette of whites, sand tones, and natural wood, actually comfortable beds, and crisp white linen. There is no excess, but the view is the real indulgence. The floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall windows open onto private balconies that frame the full curve of the bay. Surf checks do not get easier.
The rooftop penthouse takes the concept further. A full living room, private kitchen, and wide terrace make it a place you could happily move into for a month, or two, or three.

Food & Drinks
Shaded from the midday sun, Imi Bay's open-air restaurant overlooks the surf from just the right angle. The day starts with proper coffee, and a generous breakfast to fuel your first paddle.
As the day unfolds the terrace turns into a social hub. Glasses clink, salty hair dries in the breeze, and the soundtrack shifts to soft background beats. You might come in just to refuel between sessions, but don't be surprised if you stay to watch the sunset paint the bay and cliffs gold.
The all-day menu balances between comfort and freshness. Expect just-caught seafood, Moroccan classics, crisp salads, and crowd-pleasers. The pizzas and burgers are surprisingly great.

Activities
The rooftop yoga deck might have the best view of any shala. Mountains behind, bay below, sky everywhere. The daily classes feature movements ideal for recovery after long sessions in the water. Golden hour is a favourite, when the light softens and the breeze comes in sideways. Even the yoga-skeptical find themselves drawn in.
A plunge pool sits nearby, perfect for a post-surf rinse or an afternoon float with a book. This is uncomplicated wellness: just breath, salt, sky, and enough space to reset.

Surfing
La Baie is why you're here. On its day, it offers one of the longest rides in Africa. We're talking leg-burning, minute-plus walls that seem to peel forever along the bay. Good news, it is just a short flight of stairs away.
Imi Bay keeps a solid quiver in their shop: soft-tops for beginners, mid-lengths for progression, classic longboards, and a few shorter options for when Cathedral (the faster, hollower break at the bay's north end) turns on.
Coaching covers first pop up to cross-step, with longboard workshops available. Book photo and video sessions with the in-house photographer to track your progress, bring back memories or finally get proof of that hang five.
