Surf Yoga Retreat Center

I stayed here two times already and every time I cannot wait to go back. The hosts are amazing, the food delicious, rooms always clean and the place is just beautiful! Every time I come I meet so many amazing people and leave with many new friends. If you want to stay in a cozy place with beautiful sunsets and great atmosphere, this is a place for you. I feel like home here.

I just spent a week at the gorgeous Surf Maroc Taghazout Villa and really loved it. The view is extraordinary both of the ocean in general but also specifically famed Anchor Point. The sunsets here are unreal and the group all eats together outside on the balcony so can enjoy both sunrises (not over the ocean) and sunsets (right over the ocean). Whether surfing or lazing around the patios, the vibe is mellow, hip, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. I was actually ill a few of the days that I was here and the staff, particularly Pedro, took really good care of me making sure I saw a doctor and got all the medicine and hydration that I needed. The surf equipment is all very good, and the grounds are very safe and well looked after. Surf instruction varied, so if you are an upper intermediate level surfer like me and want some guiding and light coaching be sure to be very clear with the staff about what your expectations are. "Bamboo" (not sure if that is a nickname) was excellent and found us great waves and provided great tips. I loved my time here and will definitely be back. Also, the food was really, really good. I felt really at home and well cared for. If I were to ask for only one thing to be added it would be a mini fridge so I could keep my own cold drinks and/or beer in my room.

It was my first time in Morocco and I fell in love with it. I stayed at the dorms of the Taghazout Villa for about 10 days and I had the most amazing time ever. The Villa is situated near the town center and is right at the beach; you can almost check out the waves from your bed. They have the most amazing surf and yoga packages and instructors, I learned and improved so much from just a week of surf guiding. I woke up almost every morning and went to the sunrise yoga that is located at Amouage, a hotel just 3 min walk; when you get back, breakfast is served and you are able to make your lunch to eat at the beach. One of the things I most appreciated was the recycling and the water filtering that made it possible to not waste plastic pet bottles. The hosts, Pedro and Laila made me feel at home from the first moment I got there. At the end of my stay I met a lot of new and interesting people from all around the world. There is this feeling of family and warmth that made my stay more pleasant. I would go back in a heartbeat.

If you’re looking for a Moroccan surf getaway, or even just a relaxing beach holiday look no further. Surf Marco’s Taghazout Villa far exceeded all my expectations. I went as a solo traveler with the surf guiding package (not surf coaching), which included all meals and transportation to/from Agadir airport as well as transport to the best surf spots based on conditions. I loved everything so much that I decided to stay another week! The surf guides are super knowledgeable of all the surf breaks and gave helpful tips to improve my surfing. I worked with both Mehdi and Younes, and both of them were awesome! I did the villa with the sea view and balcony, and the view was stunning. Actually, the views from the whole place were beautiful, and it is possible to surf directly behind the villa! I should also mention that the sunsets were beyond words pretty! All of the meals were super delicious. And the managers, Laila and Pedro were very welcoming and became instant friends. Both were helpful with everything I needed. I cannot recommend enough!

Wanted to come for chill, sun and surf and this villa seriously feel like home away from home. Such a nice room with amazing view, great staff and social place to stay, where you get to meet other guest super easy over breakfast, surf or dinner... I've already recommended this place to friends, who's now going... I'm for sure coming back at some point in the future...

I stayed here for a week in August 2019 and had the most amazing time! Can not fault the place, the room and villa were beautiful, all the staff were insanely kind and accommodating. Great vibes across the whole villa. In particular the hosts Tali and Laila made sure I had an awesome time it would not have been the same without them! All the surf spots were stunning and the instructors were great at helping me to improve my surf! Will definitely recommend to all!

So much fun. Relaxed and with staff, who make you feel part of the family. Great surf and yoga instructors, who give you so much time and knowledge. The company know how to choose their staff for sure and how to decorate their villas... Stunning locations, delicious food, relaxed but organised vibes. A great recipe, and that is before the personal emails from staff on your return and the paracetamol given by staff when the African sun took its toll! Who wouldn't return? Thanks Taily and Layla!

I stayed at Taghazout Villa for a week in August 2019 on the surf coaching package. What a fantastic set up - I would recommend it to anyone. The villa itself is lovely - rustic chic but smartly done with good bathrooms and great food (nb some of the photos on tripadvisor are out of date - the ones on the website are more accurate) and all the facilities at Amouage are 2 min walk away. We all agreed how good it was to be able to retreat back to the peace of the villa afterwards. The villa hosts are great too and can sort just about anything you need. The surf package was also top notch - our instructor (Mehdi) was really good at paying attention to everyone individually and my surfing improved plenty. I wish I had done more yoga - predictably enough that was also excellent. What really set Surf Maroc apart for me was how much thought had gone into it, from the design of the villa to the way the lessons ran to the packed breakfast as I left for an early flight. Really impressive.

Me and my friend had a very nice week at the Surf Maroc Villa in Taghazout. The view is amazing, the rooms are nice, good/healthy food and the personal is very friendly. From the moment we arrived everything was taken care of. I’ll come back for sure.

I've been coming to Taghazout Villa for years, and I have never seen it so great. The new rooms look incredible - so well decorated and kept clean every day! The food has stepped up a gear for sure, was always nice but this time it was something special. Loved hanging out with Laila and Tali each night, and even got a couple of great shot surfing the mellow waves with Olly. Great memories, can't wait to be back this winter!

The Surf Maroc Villa seems to be a bit more bare bones than the hotel (which we visited for massage, hammam, and dinner), but we had a great time there. It was nice to have a collective meal each night. The breakfast was very good as was the lunch (and there was always more than enough food). It;s also right next to Surf Maroc's cafe, which serves some pretty good burgers,smoothies, and brownies. The staff was always kind and helpful, although I did not really get the hang of their hours.

Where do I start and not gush about every aspect of my experience with Surf Maroc! From the painfree seamless website booking with its strangely reliable and accurate info and details, to information about the inconvenience of roadworks sent before my journey and treats available as compensation ( access to pool at Amouage - Surf Maroc’s stunning flagship boutique hotel) and delightful, knowledgeable and people centred House Managers, Gabriel and Wafa, to whom no request was too much trouble and who I now regard as friends - Surf Maroc, I’m sure you know you lucky to have them! Taghazout Villa, different from Amouage, by being more intimate, less formal, more expertise and Surf-centred activity, encourages guest interaction without being forced. I paid for Surf guiding package with very qualified guides at hand for ready advice on local conditions and took me to breaks to suit my skill level throughout the day by day changing conditions. I could opt out whenever I liked to get much needed relaxation or pursue whatever activity I fancied without it causing logistical problems. The location is stunning with the villa designed to maximise the beautiful views from its centralised seaside cliff perch. It’s also designed to feel like home from home, with loungers and comfy nooks, littering it’s multi-levels. Everything is cleaned constantly by friendly locals willing to interact, rooms diverse to meet most budgets with openplan communal eating areas and the most delicious themed set meals (lunch baskets are self-served at breakfast each morning which are generous, delicious and diverse). Be warned that your bugs ( stomach micro-biome) are different from those found in developing Morocco’s local conditions, so come prepared to receive an immune-system upgrade in the form of being unwell for about 24hrs. Gabriel and Wafa are angels of mercy for those up-grading - ask Wafa for her ‘medical magic rice’. Those that visit there know they’ve been blessed. And I haven’t even mentioned the world-class surf and the beautiful still reasonably untouch natural surroundings of the area. First of many adventures there????

I previously stayed at Amouage, and wanted to come back so quick that I missed out on getting a room! But Taghazout Villa was an incredible alternative, and so happy I have been to both places. My room was lovely with gorgeous views of the ocean! The waves were great, weather beautiful and loved the chilled surfy vibes in Taghazout Villa - thanks to Gabriel and Wafa for being so much fun! And was so lucky to have Yassine (Snoopy) back as my instructor - so kind and patient. Thank you for another great holiday - I'll be back again soon I'm sure!!!

The first time I visited the Taghazout villa I can honestly say it was the first time I truly relaxed on holiday, what an awesome place, everything is organised for you so you really don't have to think about anything. The view is amazing, you can hear the waves from your bedroom window and the sun is always shining. I have now visited 4 times and it feels like a second home. The hosts are really smiley, particularly Wafa and they make you feel like part of the family. Surf instructors are always great, this time we had Medhi, he was super friendly and made us feel very comfortable in the waves, I feel like I advanced quite quickly in a short time under his supervision. We were driven each morning to each beach to find the best waves for our ability which alway makes surfing much easier : ) Overall a great place to visit, food is always delicious and hearty which you need after a full day on the beach surfing! Defo worth visiting if you havent already...it is guaranteed you will meet some lovely lovely people!

Spent one week with Surf Maroc! Great trip - Taghazout was a lovely little village. The accommodation was clean and gave a good opportunity to mix with other guests. Possible to get good waves for both beginners and more advanced surfers close by. Medhi our instructor was a brilliant teacher. Lovely smiley guy and very good with both group and one-on-one coaching, making things easy to understand for those that were not experienced. Would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing week at Villa Taghazout! Wafa and Ola were fantastics hosts, the food was delicious - and the afternoon cake is a must - , the room were super nice, clean and bright and we enjoyed so much the surf and yoga classes! Big up to our surf instructors Bahsine and Said ! The great part of the experience is the people you get to meet during the week, you really feel that you're part of a big family including the Surf Maroc staff ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ! Thanks so much for everything, I hope I'll be back soon :)

We had an amazing time, great villa, delicious food, sweet hosts and a lot of fun surfing! The rooms are nice and the atmosphere of the villa makes it relaxing and energetic. You’ll love the view as well! Can’t be disappointed ;)

Spent the most amazing week at surf maroc taghazout for the girls surf camp in June. Where to start, the place is incredible. The villa is like an oasis right by the beach, don't come here if you don't want to hear the sound of the waves as you drift to sleep :) the food is amazing, I'm a vegetarian and I was super happy at every meal! There is tea and coffee...and afternoon freshly baked cake! Just what you need when you come back from Surf! The staff at the villa are so kind, warm, and just always on top of the needs of their customers. The chefs and cleaning staff were so lovely. The hosts Wafa and Ola are so great at ensuring everything is running smoothly and are always on hand if you need anything... honestly I think they are simply the best hosts I've ever meet in a hostel/bnb/hotel, and surf maroc should hold on to them! Now the surfing!!! Maxim and Charlotte are awesome and our group absolutely loved our surf time with them. The ladies of surf maroc rock shall we say!! I genuinely am considering coming back just to see them all again! What else, oh there is yoga on the roof next door and a fancy hipster bar and pool too if that's your thing, all run by the same company. But most nights we just loved chilling in our villa. I will be back! I already recommended ye to my friends who are honey moon planning for later this year! See you all again sooon!

We were at the Taghazout Villa for 11 days, and we had an absolute blast. The food was amazing, the location is beautiful, the surf lessons were a lot of fun and everyone was so nice. Also everything was perfectly organized: a driver was waiting for us at the airport, it was very easy to pick up our wetsuits, all information was clear every day. We've had a great time and will definitely come back!

2nd time been with surf Maroc in the last 12 months and had a amazing time. Food was really yummy and there is plenty of it. Rooms were clean and good condition. Surf instructors and staff were friendly and helpful. Had an amazing time, one of the best holidays of my life. Looking forward to return next year.

I recently spent a week at Surf Maroc in Taghazout Villa. It was my first ever solo trip and what a perfect choice I made! From start to finish I was made to feel so welcome, the staff were fab, the food was just delicious and everything was clean and tidy. I did 7 days surf coaching and had unlimited yoga. The instructors couldn’t have been better if they tried! I will certainly be returning again, perhaps with my 8 year old daughter but 100% next year, either by myself or with friends!!! Thanks guys! I miss you all already!xxx

We loved our stay at the Surf Maroc Villa, the staff were friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay pleasurable. The food was fresh and tasty, and the rooms comfortable. The big terraces overlook the atlantic ocean and your minutes away from some of the best surf spots in Morocco. Big thankyou to Wafaa and the whole team cant wait for our next stay.

This place is the perfect combination of community atmosphere and luxury! When you stay at the Villa you get to know the other guests by sharing meals, yoga classes, and surf lessons, and around every corner there's a beautiful spot to enjoy the incredible ocean views.I spent the week learning how to surf with group lessons each day, and I was really impressed by the quality of the instruction and the equipment. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, and you feel at home as soon as you check in. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and I will definitely be back soon to catch more waves!

Absolutely loved staying at the Villa. Great vibes, good people & good food. Liked it so much there I ended up extending my trip by an extra week. Special thanks to Ola and Wafa for being super hosts!

Great place to relax and have a coffee or Marocan tea, lovely staff and great location. Food is very tasty and opening hours are comfortable. We came to Taghazout last week for a surfing trip and Surf Maroc became our "neighborhood Cafe" highly recommended!!!

Recently stayed with my Son, we both had a Fantastic time. And believe me when say it’s the people. The place it’s self is a bit oldish But the location and views make up for it. The Food Mmmmmmmm ????. But the People Make the place. We were made to feel welcomed by Ola and Wafa and they were awesome hosts. Everyone that works at the Villa were awesome. We met heaps of good people staying there. We Did the Surf guiding and our Guides that we had are second to none. All up we had a fantastic time at the Villa and even when we moved we kept comming back to the Villa ?????? SURFMAROC VILLA THE VIBE YEEEEEWWWWW

A big thank you to all at Surf Maroc especially the crew at the Villa. Surf, sun, great food, incredible location, chilled atmosphere, and good vibes make this trip one for the books. Thanks for a fabulous holiday

My time spent at the Taghazout Villa was incredible, a week there was not enough. The location was stunning and the food was incredible but the best part of my experience was the staff, especially Ola. She made the stay at the Villa and the overall trip a unforgettable experience through the fostering of family style environment in the villa and her overall positive attitude and outlook. I plan to come back, as well as recommend anyone interested in surfing, yoga or travel in general, for a truly unique and lovely holiday.

The villa is spotless and the beds are really comfortable. We were fed healthy delicious meals every day and it really felt like a second home! The beachfront location is gorgeous and each day you can enjoy the sun setting over the sea. Thank you Ola for being such an amazing host :)

I had the BEST WEEK on a Yoga and Surf retreat in Taghazout. I felt like I'd been away for months! The accommodation was lovely, the food was amazing and the company was flawless. Our surf lessons were incredible: Shout out to the wonderful Abdo Ali who was the friendliest, most patient and caring instructor. Also both Sayed's were great fun and so relaxed and chilled. I love surfing so much thanks to them! I can't wait to go back :)

I can't explain how good this place is. Aside from being walking distance from some of Morocco's best surf spots, surf Maroc is beautiful the staff are next level nice in their treatment of guests. The apartments are beautiful clean amazing views and so well located. The Wi-Fi is excellent and the chill out area is extremely pleasant. The food is also top notch here and you have a great choice between European and Morroccon dishes. If you are coming to Taghazout this is hands down the best place to stay for value and service

I extended my stay at Surf Maroc not only once, but several times... Because this place and the people here are amazing! Taghazout Villa - where I stayed - has such a nice and relaxed vibe, the food was delicious, and Cazz and Ola are so openhearted and took care of everything. You get to know people from all around the world - when you are surfing in groups or hanging out in the camp. Surfing was great - we drove to many different spots, which is a great way to see more of Morocco. And the instructors are so professional and made sure that the surfing was a great experience every day! I'm definitely getting back to this perfect place and lovely crew soon!

I stayed here for 10 nights, lovely hosts, great food, warm weather and expert surfing tuition. There is a very strong sense of community at the villa- as a solo traveler the hosts were very good at engaging and integrating everyone. Would recommend to all types of travellers looking for a chilled, premium approach to surf coaching and guiding!
