Surf Maroc is located in the Agadir region of southern Morocco. Taghazout is a unique gem on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Conveniently located 40 min from Agadir international airport it’s a short hop ( 2-4 hrs) from most central European cities. It’s the closest place for any European surfer to get year round warm water, perfect waves and a unique cultural experience.
Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European airports, with flight times to Agadir between 2-4 hours. Guests travelling from the US can connect either in Casablanca or at a European airport as there are no direct flights to Agadir. From Agadir airport, it’s a 45-minute drive south-east along the coast road. Road transfers from Marrakech can be easily arranged and the new motorway has dramatically cut the journey times down to 2 -3 hours and cost approx £80 for 4 people. Surf Maroc do not provide these transfers but can book one for you. Payments for the transfer are made directly to your driver.
Skyscanner – great site to see who fly where internationally. Flights leave the UK from London Stansted (STN) London Luton ( LTN) London (LGW), Manchester (MAN), Bristol (BRS). France is well connected with Paris, Toulouse Bordeaux, Marseille and Lyon all having direct flights to Agadir. Condor and Air Berlin serve central Europe.
EU passport holders do not require a visa to enter Morocco for tourist purposes. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. If you hold a passport from outside the European Union we strongly recommend that you check with your nearest Moroccan Embassy.
We operate adult-only (age 15+) locations at Amouage, Taghazout Villa and Villa Mandala. However, families with children are welcome to stay at our Taghazout Apartments and Auberge.

The Moroccan currency is the Dirham. Exchange rates at last time of checking were around 13.5 Dh to the £1, 11 Dh to the € and 7.6 Dh to the $. Dirhams can only be obtained within Morocco. There are exchange facilities and ATMs in the airport. There are also plenty of ATMs in Agadir. There are no ATM’s in Taghazout, the nearest is Aourir, a five-minute drive from Taghazout. This machine and many other ATMs in Morocco do not accept Maestro and can be unreliable, if you have a VISA card we recommend you bring it.
*Please note: traveller’s cheques are not a good idea for Morocco. They cannot be exchanged at the airport or in Taghazout and there are only a few places in Agadir that will change them.
Nearly all networks work in Morocco. Contact your network for call charges. Coverage is good. There is an abundance of public phones (coin and cards) in Taghazout. International call charges are relatively cheap. There is free wifi available at all our locations. There are also broadband internet cafes in Taghazout.
At all of our locations, the services are run at the same high standard with the same friendly hospitable staff, new vehicles and state of the art surfing equipment.
Morocco is an all year round destination for great surf and great weather. Surf Maroc is open all year. The summer months (April – October) see small to medium swells with surf mostly on the beaches and reefs on the more exposed north-west coast. This is a great time for anyone looking for fun, uncrowded warm water surf. There are some bigger days during this time for those looking for something more challenging.
During the winter months the waves, that have made Morocco famous, come to life. There is a huge variety of surf in this area of Morocco. There are not many places like it in the world. The region has something for everyone, from ideal beginner waves to challenging reef ledges. Intermediates and those new to the sport should not be put off or worried. Due to the nature of the coastline, there is almost always somewhere sheltered and manageable, and those looking for something challenging won’t be disappointed. Morocco is blessed with well over 300 days of sunshine a year. Between the months November to February, there is a small chance of rain, although statistically, it is unlikely.
With such a large range and choice of waves, you may want to bring a whole quiver of boards. To generalise, the majority of waves are right-hand point breaks from soft, slow, rolling spots to heavy, fast barrelling spots. Bring equipment to suit your ability and what you want to surf. If you don’t want to go big, your everyday board will suffice, there’s nearly always somewhere sheltered. If you do want to charge the big stuff, bring something suitable for mid-winter waves can get up to 15ft.
Hire Boards
Surf Maroc have teamed up with board and fin innovators SurfTech and FCS to give Surf Maroc guests exclusive access to the Tuflite Travel program and FCS test drive. We have stocked our beach front base in Taghazout with over 40 of SurfTech’s latest models from their extensive range. As well as that, FCS have supplied their cutting edge fins system, it’s a perfect opportunity to experiment with new shapes and fins or use the identical boards you have at home without the hassle and burden of transporting them.
We also have a fully kitted out surf school with every shape and size of boards to get you standing up and surfing.

There is an abundance of restaurants and cafes in Taghazout, including our own Auberge restaurant on the sea front and Cafe Mouja overlooking Anchor Point. The are plenty of grocery shops selling fruit, vegetable and other essentials. There is a well-stocked pharmacy and four surf shops. There are also lots of internet cafes with ADSL connection. Alcohol can be consumed at our fully licensed bar, Amouage Bar & Kitchen.
There are surf shops in Taghazout. They now stock a fair bit of hardware: leashes, wax, deckgrips etc. The surfboard and clothing selection is also growing. Most of the shops offer board repairs, they are often great value and of good quality.
Morocco is a liberal Muslim country, and men and women are welcome to wear shorts and T-shirts. Swimming costumes and bikinis are normal on the beach but it is advisable to cover up your arms and legs a bit when walking around town. Shorts, tees and flip flops are the norm. Trousers and jumpers are sometimes needed particularly in mid-winter when the evenings can be chilly so warm clothes are a good idea during that period.
Our food is fantastic! The food served in all our venues is amazing. Our chefs will prepare a mixture of Moroccan and international dishes each week. For stays at Amouage, Taghazout Villa and Villa Mandala breakfast is included in every service option. All packages, apart from B&B, include a packed lunch. Please see the table above for what is included in each service option. Stays in apartments are self-catering.
Yes! Both beach foutas and bath towels are provided.
Alcoholic drinks can be legally served and sold throughout the country. Morocco even produces its own range of wines and beers. We now have a fully licensed bar at Amouage.
We understand that some people have special requirements. Let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to make sure we have exactly what you need. All guests should be aware that not all ‘specialized food alternatives’ are available.
No, but you can if you want. Prices shown on our site are “pp” – per person sharing a twin room (same gender) or a double with your partner. This means if you’re on your own you share the cost of the room and make a new friend. You can of course book the room to yourself as a private for an additional single room supplement if you prefer, please enquire.
It’s really up to you. You can dine on one of the terraces overlooking the surf and enjoy a drink under the stars, get comfy in the salon and watch a film, go and have a mint tea in the village and check out the scene in this bustling little fishing village or we can arrange taxis for those who fancy checking out Agadir’s nightlife!
Morocco is on 220 volts with two-pin round plugs.
You can arrive at any time. It is not always possible to have your room ready before 2 pm. If you do want to arrive early and your room isn’t immediately available, start enjoying yourself anyway – we’ll take care of your bags and get you started on whatever service you have chosen. Check out is officially 12 pm, but if you would like a later checkout, let us know and we’ll do our best. Please be aware that if you supply the wrong arrival or departure details and we send a transfer this will count as your transfer.
Please note that free transfers are only available from Agadir airport (if staying with us for 7 or more days on a package). If you would like to be collected from a different location, including Agadir bus station and hotels, please make sure you book this through the Customer Portal.
(Apartment stays) We provide airport transfers to and from the airport. From then on you have a hire car at your disposal for the rest of your stay. Please ensure you have the original of a valid EU driving license which must have been held for at least one year. The law insists that you always carry your driving license and car hire documents with you when driving in Morocco. Seat belts must be worn at all times and you must not use your mobile phone whilst driving (a finable offence). Police and Gendarmerie checkpoints are based every few kilometres along the routes. Minor infringements will result in your having to make an on-the-spot payment. In Morocco, as in Europe driving is on the right. The main roads around Taghazout are good. In addition, when driving in Morocco, we advise you to drive slowly and carefully as the roads are generally narrower and may sometimes have bumps and potholes, especially after periods of rain. We do ask that you take particular care when driving, bearing in mind the conditions of your hire car rental agreement. Please bring roof-straps if you have them.
No vaccinations are required for visitors to Morocco and anti-malarial precautions are not necessary. We have first aid equipment along with staff trained in administering first aid. In the case of an emergency, there are hospitals and clinics in Agadir. Medical charges will apply according to the treatment received so make sure you have travel insurance before you arrive. There is a well-stocked pharmacy in Taghazout which is open every day.
Morocco is a developing country which offers different foods, water, bacteria and climate that you may not be used to. By taking some sensible precautions, you can help reduce the risk of getting an upset stomach which often occurs when travelling to rural areas in developing country. Some guests have found that taking probiotics before travelling has helped to prevent gastro related illness. You can also get in touch with your local travel clinic for advice on pre-travel preventative treatment such as gastro illness vaccines like Dukoral which we have heard is effective. However, please do not start taking any new supplements before seeking medical advice.
We also highly recommend that you bring your reusable water bottle to use our safe, filtered water provided at all of our locations. If you are pregnant, have any conditions or illness, or generally concerned, we recommend you get in touch with your GP or travel clinic for advice before you travel. Please note our advice is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and does not constitute medical or other professional advice.
We recommend you do not drink tap water at all in Morocco, even in hotels, as it contains much higher levels of minerals than the water in Europe. For local people, this is not a problem as their bodies are used to this and can cope, but for travellers from places such as Europe, drinking the tap water will usually result in illness.
We do sell glass-bottled water for 30 dirhams at our locations to help eliminate plastics bottles. For just 10 dirhams (less than ￡1/€1) per day, you do have unlimited use of our water fountains to refill your water bottle. This water surcharge will be added to your bill at the end of your stay.

If you haven’t pre-booked one of our surf packages, and are staying in B&B, but you’d like to go surfing please let your host know by 1 pm the day before. We will do our best to accommodate you.
Please note that during high season, we can’t guarantee there will be space in any of our vans.
No, surf coaching is not included in the surf guiding package. If you would like surf coaching please see our Surf Coaching package for more info. Equipment is not included as some guests like to bring their own so we have made it an optional extra.
Please see our levels section and also our spot guide on the Surf page.
We will always try to adapt to what you would like to do. If your group is surfing nearby your guide will come to pick you up. If they are more than 5 mins drive away it might be more difficult for the guide to leave the group for safety reasons. We will organise a car and driver in this situation if possible but it cannot always be guaranteed.
If the surf is bad or all of your group want to go on a local excursion your guide can take you to Agadir or Paradise valley. Please note even if only one person in your group wants to surf our priority is to the surfers. In this case, we can arrange excursion but costs will apply. Please see the excursion section on the About page.
Please see the season guide and the surf forecast section on the Surf Page.

Absolutely. If you feel you need to move up or down a group/level just let your host know the night before and we can get you into the appropriate group the next day.
We prefer to create a great group vibe by everyone doing a full week together. It disrupts the flow if people are coming and going at different times.
No! Our experienced & talented yoga teachers & surfing instructors are very capable of teaching all levels. Complete beginners are very welcome. We instruct precisely & innovatively on all the basics & always offer advanced options so everyone may progress during their stay.
We draw together our years of study, diverse influences and myriad trainings to create inspired Vinyasa flow classes. On a Yoga Surf Retreat the mornings are dynamic flow, themed with aspects of the yoga philosophy, chakra system and/or anatomy and physiology. The evenings are restorative, yin based meditative practices to unwind after a day in the surf.
Not at all, we encourage everyone to do as much or as little as they like, to create ‘their own’ perfect holiday.
Yes, absolutely! Our experienced and extensively trained teachers create classes for all levels. We set solid foundations at the start of the week for complete beginners and there’s always plenty of options and modifications to enable beginners and seasoned practitioners to deepen and develop their practice.

Our fantastic Moroccan chefs, inspired by Moroccan and international cuisine, prepare exceptional gourmet vegetarian food all day every day (with 1 fish option mid-week if requested). Feedback continues to be faultless, with 6 stars on numerous occasions!
A typical day: A bountiful breakfast after morning yoga with fresh smoothies, eggs, fruits, fresh bread…, a delicious picnic lunch on the beach (homemade falafels, hearty salads…), home baked afternoon treats after surfing and a gourmet evening feast after evening yoga (lentil shepherd’s pie, heaps of beautifully prepared and varied veggie dishes, beetroot patties, egg plant parmesana, tagines, guilt free chocolate hazlenut and avocado tart and homemade ice cream..!).
The food is exceptionally good…
Yoga clothes, beach clothes, beach towel, sun cream (as it’s more expensive here), something warm for the evenings & early mornings (almost any time of year, just in case, especially between Nov – March), an adaptor for 2 prong European plugs sockets, a good book for the beach (?!), something to cover shoulders/legs for markets/towns ladies, like a shawl in summer (not essential but easier to respect local culture). Mostly bring an open heart.
The beautiful yoga shala is fully equipped with: yoga mats, yogi toes, blocks, straps,bolsters, blankets, lavender eye pillows and even sand bags!
Yes, we can arrange any of the following for you while you’re here:
Camel riding, horse riding, quad biking, massage and hammam and other spa treats. Also there’s day excursions to: Essaouira (2.5hrs north), Taroudant (1.5hrs east), Paradise Valley (25 mins inland), Agadir town+souq (20 mins south).

Yes, no problem. We always have at least 2 surf instructors on our Yoga Surf Retreats. So we can split the groups as necessary according to differing levels and we’ll always go to the best spot for your level. If your boyfriend wanted to miss some morning yoga classes to join a more advanced group from our other venues, we can arrange this too.
There are only a few extra costs that are not included:
If you’d like further information about these before your stay, please contact us directly.
There is a single supplementary charge of £175 if you request to have a room by yourself. If you happen to end up on your own by chance, or choose to share a room, you will not be charged extra.
It is a social, communal holiday in the sense that you practice yoga, surf and eat breakfast and dinner together as a group each day. So, it’s great for couples who are keen to socialize and meet other people. There are options to take time out alone too and the villa is spacious enough to find your own quiet corner to relax.
Check in is from 4.30pm on Saturday, so ideally any time after this.
If you arrive before this time, your transfer you at Surf Maroc’s Cafe Mouja in Taghazout where you can get some food, a drink, and take it easy after your flight. You are more than welcome to leave your bags with out reception if you would like to look around Taghazout before being taken to Villa Mandala.
An evening yoga class will be scheduled for before dinner. This is usually around 6pm, but may change due to group arrival times.
On your departure day, we ask guests to vacate their rooms by breakfast at 9am, or immediately after your last morning yoga class which is 7.30-9am. This is so our staff can clean and change the rooms on time.
We will host the group until midday. If your transfer is later that, we have plenty of suggestions for you to fill the time beforehand. Don’t worry, we will talk about this during the week!
All of your coaching and surfing will be with the girls on the all girls week. The accommodation (not the bedrooms), yoga and dining are mixed with other guests boys and girls.

Coaching sessions are 2 hours long.
Lessons are given in groups ( unless individual lessons have been pre-booked ) and the start time is at the discretion of the coach. He or she will base this decision on conditions daily but it is normally from 9:30 am.
We are very sensitive about the number of people we take to a spot. there is a maximum of eight people in a vehicle. on very rare occasion we have to combine groups due to the split levels. We are legally allowed to teach at a ratio of 12 students to 1 coach but our operational average ( 95% of the time ) is 6 to 1.
Those new to surfing will use soft top boards, essentially these surfboards are designed with safety in mind. They function in much the same way as a normal surfboard and are what everyone on the team chooses when the waves are small (small is good when you’re starting out!)
If in a group session, the start time will depend on the conditions on the day – this sometimes can’t be gauged until the coach reaches the beach. If you decide not to leave with the group in the morning we cannot guarantee you can be picked up later or that you will be able to have your lesson.
If you are on the surf coaching package your board and wetsuit are included for all of your stay.

In Morocco, as on Continental Europe, driving is on the right. The main roads around Taghazout are good. In addition, when driving in Morocco, we advise you to drive slowly and carefully as the roads are generally narrower and may sometimes have bumps and potholes, especially after periods of rain. We do ask that you take particular care when driving, bearing in mind the conditions of your hire car rental agreement. Please bring roof-straps if you have them.
