WHERE THE MAGIC MEETS THE OCEAN
When it comes to surfing in Morocco, SantaCruz Surf Maroc has some of the most dedicated and passionate instructors.
For SantaCruz Surf Maroc surfing is a way of life, and our philosophy goes beyond teaching.
Be close to nature and seize the moment; surfing is all about having fun!
Even sitting on your board and enjoying the beauty of the ocean, without catching any wave, can be fun too!
Our first surf house is nestled in the hills of the friendly surfer village Tamraght and just a short walking distance away from the beach, shops and restaurants. Since the life of a surfer is very simplistic. We tried to aim for this in the design of the beautiful surf house.
Whether you're a solo traveller or coming with a family member or loved one, you'll find our accommodation spacious enough to suit your needs.
The rooms are spread over 4 floors, most with an ocean view. The other rooms overlook the garden.
Relax, do some yoga or simply look at the amazing sunsets at one of the two terraces.
The second surf house is built as a traditional Moroccan riad. This means that the rooms are all based off a central courtyard surrounding a beautiful garden and pool. The same as our first surf house, we tried to aim for a simplistic design in the riad. The rooms are spread over 3 floors and the rooftop will give you plenty of space to enjoy a beautiful sunset or do some yoga early in the morning.
While shopping in local markets, preparing food, cooking, serving and eating any Moroccan dish you get to feel the remarkable influences of Morocco's long history of colonizers and immigrants who all left their marks and finger prints in the country.
The first inhabitants, the Berbers, gave a big impact with the dishes like tagine and couscous. The Arab invasion brought many new spices, nuts, dried fruits, sweet and sour taste. These new influences upgraded the tagines with some new combinations, such as dates and lamb, as one of country's specialty today. The Moors introduced amazing olives, olive juice and citrus fruits, including the sophisticated preserving technique. During the Ottoman Empire, the nowadays so popular, barbeque kebabs were introduced. Finally the French left the big culture of cafes, pastry and sweets.
It goes without saying, that eating a Moroccan dish is not just eating, but much more than that. It is an experience of the rich history, a connection with the food and of course a connection with the amazingly friendly Moroccan people.
