HoneyPath Ocean Retreat (Tamraght, Morocco)

Tamraght sits in the middle of Taghazout Bay, with many surf spots a short drive away. Every morning our certified instructors check the swell, the wind and the tide, then take you to the spot that suits your level that day.

Banana Beach (Aourir)
A sandy beach in Aourir, just south of Tamraght. It is one of the spots we use most for lessons: the white water is good for learning to stand up, and there is plenty of space on the beach.

Imourane
A long beach north of Taghazout that we use when the conditions there are right for our groups. On the right day it offers clean waves for surfers who can already stand up.

Taghazout
The best-known surf village of the bay, a few minutes north of Tamraght by car. We surf there when the waves suit your level.

The spots around Tamraght
The coast around the village has several other spots. We choose between them every day, depending on the waves and on your level.

How we choose the spot

• The swell: how big the waves are and where they come from
• The wind: offshore wind makes clean waves, onshore wind makes them messy
• The tide: some beaches work better at low tide, others at high tide
• Your level: beginners need gentle white water, intermediates want green waves

This is why we never promise one fixed spot: the right one changes from day to day.

You can surf around Taghazout and Tamraght all year. What changes is the size and the regularity of the waves, so the best time depends on your level and on what you want from your trip.

Autumn to spring: the main surf season
From autumn to spring the Atlantic swell is bigger and more regular. This is the classic season for surfers who already know the basics, and the time most surfers visit Taghazout Bay. Mornings are often clean and the waves come in long, regular sets.

Beginners still learn in this season: when the swell is big, we choose more sheltered beaches where the white water stays gentle.

Summer: smaller, friendly waves
In summer the waves are usually smaller and gentler, which is ideal for complete beginners learning in the white water. It is also the warmest time of year on land, so the afternoons on the beach and the evenings on the rooftop are long.

Which season for which surfer?

• Complete beginner: any time of year; summer is the gentlest
• Beginner who can stand up: autumn to spring for more regular waves
• Intermediate: autumn to spring for the best swell

The weather
The Souss coast is sunny most of the year. Days are warm, but evenings can be fresh, especially in winter, so bring a warm top. The ocean stays cool, which is why a wetsuit is used all year; it is included in your surf week.

Paradise Valley
A palm-filled gorge with natural rock pools in the hills above the coast, about an hour inland. It is the classic day out from the bay, especially on a hot day. It is also where we take you for free if the sea is flat or too big for your session.

Souk El Had in Agadir
One of the biggest markets in Morocco: spices, fruit, argan oil, leather, pottery and much more. Go in the morning, take your time and agree on prices before you buy.

Agadir Oufella viewpoint
The hill above Agadir with the old kasbah walls and a wide view over the bay, the port and the city. Beautiful at sunset.

Agadir seafront and marina
A long promenade along the beach, cafés and the marina – an easy walk for an afternoon in the city.

Taghazout village
A few minutes from Tamraght: walk the main street, watch the surfers on the points, have a coffee or a fresh juice with an ocean view.

Ocean-view rooftop, Moroccan lounge and a private cinema room.

Sun loungers on the ocean-view rooftop, a mint tea in the Moroccan lounge, a film in the private cinema room. Sometimes the best rest day is the one with no plan.

Tamraght is a relaxed surf village on the Atlantic coast between Agadir and Taghazout. Most of our guests fly into Agadir Al Massira airport (AGA), and we take care of the rest.

Free pickup for our guests
If you book a surf week with us, we pick you up for free at Agadir airport or at the bus station in Agadir, and take you back at the end of your stay. Just send us your flight details on WhatsApp once your flights are booked, and tell us if they change.

How far is it?
The house is about 35 km from Agadir airport. The beach is close to the house, Aourir is just south, and Taghazout is a few minutes north by car.

Arriving late or early?
Check-in and check-out times are flexible and arranged with you, so an early morning or late evening flight is not a problem. Let us know your times and we plan the pickup.

Coming from Marrakech or Essaouira?
Many travellers combine a surf week with a few days in Marrakech or Essaouira. We can arrange a transfer from Marrakech, Essaouira or elsewhere for an extra cost. Ask us for a price when you book.

Coming by car
Free parking is available near the house. Once you are here, you do not need a car for surfing: transport to the spots is included every day.

The minimum stay is 4 nights and you can arrive any day.

Groups of 8 or more get 10% off, and the whole house can be booked for up to 25 guests. Ask us for a group quote on WhatsApp.

Everyone pays the same price per person. While you surf, your partner can relax on the rooftop, enjoy the beach and join the day trips.

Not included: flights, transfers from outside Agadir and optional day trips.

No smoking in the rooms (smoking is allowed outside on the terrace), no parties, no pets, and quiet hours from 22:00 to 08:00. In line with Moroccan law, Moroccan couples must show a marriage certificate.
