Camino Surf Morocco (Sidi Ifni, Morocco) ★★★

The Camino Surf Camp is located in the former spanish protectorate Sidi Ifni. Next to a couple of high-quality reef-breaks on the doorstep of our camp there are plenty of beach- and reef-breaks in close proximity to be discovered. 2km south, a protected harbour-wave awaits you on the big days.

We are a German-language camp of medium size (max. 20 guests). Most visitors come from Austria, Germany or Switzerland. The average age is around 26 years. If desired, we hold our surf lessions in English. For us, surfing and relaxing are the most important points.

For us, surfing is not just another water sports acitivity ‚ but a profoundly meaningful practice that brings physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits - and on top of it: it's heaps of fun. Fun - that's what it's basically all about! Flying down the surface of a gently rolling, sparkling mountain of water - tackling the surge and inhaling the universal force within. That's exhilarating and soothing at once.

Our mission is to share this recreational and fun activity with others and together indulge in this beautiful sport. Professional training in small groups, coached by our certified surf-instructors, pave your way in becoming a surfer and ease the acquisition of new surfing skills. Experience, enthusiasm and a deep affection for the sport of surfing and the ocean itself - that's Camino Surf.
To sustain the beauty of surfing for generations to come, we participate in, and circulate information on an increased awareness for nature in general and the ocean in particular. Well known organizations like the Surfrider-Foundation and Carbonfund support our endeavor. Organic Surf Wax, sustainable Balsa-wood boards and organic/fair-trade Camp-Shirts and Camp-Hoodies emphasize this mission.

Only a footstep from the door sill, and you are standing in the middle of Sidi Ifni Plage, a long and sandy beach. From the big terrace you check the waves in the mornings and enjoy the sunset from the comfortable lounge while having a barbecue and some moroccan Whiskey (mint tea) in the evenings. Just within minutes you are in the line-up either in front of the hotel or you give the surrounding breaks a go.

The hills in the backcountry come up with beautiful scenic views of the coast and the Antiatlas-mountains. There are single-rooms, doubles and triples available, alternatively in the shared-apartment option or in the hotel-option. Each room is equipped with its own bathroom (with european-style toilets) and balcony. WLAN is also available in the camp-area and in the reception of the hotel.

Just around the corner, you also find a small grocery store, a bakery, a cafe and a restaurant

Man does not live on bread alone - but there is Couscous, Tagine, Kofta, etc. You don't know this? Be excited about delicious moroccan treats.

From a hearty breakfast in the morning, where you also prepare your packed lunch for your day on the beach, to the well-balanced dinner at night you should lack for nothing more. Book our 7'6" Culinario-package, consisting of 7x breakfast and packed lunch and 6x dinner and don't worry about nothing more.
Naturally, vegetarian cuisine will be provided on request.
