Elhati Surf (Tamraght, Morocco)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

Welcome to ElhatiSurf – nestled in the tranquil Berber village of Tamraght, just a short stroll from the Atlantic waves and surrounded by lush argan forests and sweeping coastal landscapes. We’re located 10 minutes walk from the beach, in a setting where morning surf sessions meet forested hills and sunset seaside strolls. At ElhatiSurf you’ll experience more than just waves: we offer tailored surf lessons, guided outings to the region’s best surf spots, and revitalizing surf yoga sessions — all designed to fit your level, whether you’re catching your first wave or refining your style. Our surf?guiding program will take you from beginner?friendly beach breaks right at camp to nearby point breaks and reef breaks in the famous Taghazout–Tamraght bay. Just minutes away you’ll find iconic spots like Devil’s?Rock (a sand?bottom beach break suitable for all levels) and Banana?Point (a mellow right?hand point ideal for advancing surfers)

We offer a laid-back, family-like atmosphere with a strong focus on community, connection, and the surf lifestyle. Our camp is perfect for solo travelers, couples, and groups aged 18–40+, with most guests in their mid-20s to mid-30s, though everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced surfer, we offer surf lessons, surf guiding, and surf yoga — tailored to your level and energy. The vibe is relaxed, not party-focused, making it ideal for those looking to recharge, surf, and connect with others in a chilled, social setting.

We host small groups to keep things personal — usually around 8–12 guests at a time, allowing you to really get to know fellow surfers and our friendly local team. Our main language at the camp is English, but we also speak French and Arabic, so communication is easy and inclusive. While we’re not a family camp, we welcome older teens (16+) traveling with parents on request. Pets are not allowed, so we can keep a peaceful and allergy-friendly environment for all guests.

With consistent surf, beautiful nature, and access to multiple nearby surf spots like Devil’s Rock, Banana Point, and Crocro Beach, ElhatiSurf offers the ideal base for your Moroccan surf adventure — all just minutes from the waves. Whether you're here to improve your surf, meet people, enjoy daily yoga, or simply unwind, this is your home away from home.

At ElhatiSurf we believe in three things: Waves. Nature. Community.
• Waves: We’re in the perfect location for beginner to intermediate surf, with access to mellow beach breaks and nearby point breaks when the swell builds.
• Nature: Our camp is nestled in the greenery of Tamraght’s hillside and argan trees, a short walk to the ocean and surrounded by relaxing landscapes.
• Community: By keeping the camp small (around 8?12 guests at a time), we maintain a familiar atmosphere where guests get to know each other, the team and feel part of the camp family. There’s no huge resort feel, no massive crowds — just good people, good vibes, surf, yoga and Moroccan hospitality.

ACCOMMODATION AND CATERING

At ElhatiSurf, we offer a comfortable and relaxed home base just 10 minutes from the beach — the perfect place to unwind after a day in the waves. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with friends, we’ve got the right setup for you. All rooms include a private bathroom, and each floor has its own Moroccan-style lounge to relax, socialize, or even work remotely.

Whether you're here to surf, stretch, or just soak in the coastal atmosphere, our accommodation is designed to make you feel at home — peaceful, clean, and full of good energy.

At ElhatiSurf, we understand that great food is part of a great surf holiday. That’s why we offer a variety of catering options designed to suit your needs — from self-catering to full board — so you can enjoy the best of Moroccan cuisine and fuel your surf sessions.

Our most popular option! Enjoy three delicious home-cooked meals daily, inspired by traditional Moroccan flavors with an international touch. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, so you can focus entirely on surfing, relaxing, and exploring. Meals are prepared fresh every day by our talented kitchen team led by Fatima, using locally sourced ingredients.

We offer access to a fully equipped communal kitchen where you can prepare your own meals at your own pace. This option is great for guests who prefer to cook, have special diets, or want to save on dining out.
