Dar Zitoun, meaning “House of Olives”, is a striking white villa built on the dramatic cliffs of Imsouane, perched right above the Bay with easy access to the beach. Take in the natural surroundings from every corner of the villa and gardens, with breathtaking views over the mystical mountains, the open ocean and beyond.
In the main house there are four rooms of different sizes, each with an ensuite bathroom and private balcony or access to the pool terrace. In the spacious living room, you can curl up with a book on one of the cosy sofas or play boardgames by the fire.
In the pretty and peaceful garden there are four bungalows with ensuite bathrooms, each sleeping 2 to 3 people. All guests can enjoy the stunning swimming pool that is naturally cleaned with mineral salts.

Magic Bay is considered one of the longest breaks in Africa. A true right hand point break, rides can sometimes last as long as 800 meters when conditions are right. The wave itself is tailored more to longboad riding and also considered one of the best beginner waves in Africa. The surrounding area hosts other world class waves as well, and can be reached during our stay if you would like to take out a fun or short board.

MEET YOUR HOSTS
Cassandra Keller
Founder of Sun and Salt Collective
Owner and creator of Sun and Salt Collective, Cassandra grew up surfing the waves of Santa Cruz over the past 24 years. Her passion has brought her around the world exploring different waves and cultures. Through these experiences she gained a broader perspective on the path to a satisfied life; the willingness to “travel light”, needing less and experiencing more. She has a deep love for the ocean and the connection it brings to her soul as well as finding peace and solace in the natural world through backpacking, and snowboarding.
When teaching she holds a calm, practical and encouraging space for her students to progress within. Certified in hypnotherapy, she understands the power of the mind to help or hinder and she utilizes these skills to coach people towards healthy mindset practices in the water and out.
Always up for an adventure and navigating through life with an intuitive, heart centered approach, she utilizes her own experiences of healing to hold a container for others to walk through their fears and towards their truth.
Fantine Capron
Surf Coach, Yoga Instructor and Board Shaper
Born and raised in the Picardy Forests north of Paris, Fantine, has followed the path truest to herself.
As a French grom, she spent summers visiting her maternal family in Southern California and caught her first wave on the golden coast at the tender age of 8. Under the watchful eyes of her Aunt Alisa Schwarzstein and Uncle Ian Cairns, both legendary former professional surfers and coaches. In 2018, she moved to California to realize her childhood dream of surfing everyday of the year.
She then pursued a Yoga Teacher Training at a local Studio in Laguna Beach led by renowned Instructor Liz Campbell. Simultaneously, she entered the hustle of LA, and spent time documenting the Art Mural and graffiti scene in DTLA’s, Arts District. She quickly shifted gears into hands-on fabrication for large Art Installations. It was an eye opening experience. With her new found skills of fiberglassing, sanding, woodworking and metalworking; she made the transition to Almar Surf Works in Santa Cruz to focus only on surfboard building. She was mentored closely by the legend shaper Michel Junod and Jon Henderson (STRIVE Surfboards).
She founded Atelier Qualia Surf in 2020. A woman owned surfboard and apparel brand forever rooted in love, art, passion and respect for the ocean. She builds her surfboards, from start to finish, here in Santa Cruz. In parallel, she taught group yoga classes at local studios in Santa Cruz and has now shifted towards leading yoga privately for the strong community of the Sun & Salt Collective.
