The villa has 14 comfortable bedrooms catering for 1,2 or 3-4 people.Meal times are communal so it is easy to meet and socialise with other surfers.

The main languages spoken at the camp are English, French and Arabic.

The Spot Morocco is run by a local Moroccan surfer and an English expat. Both are keen surfers and are passionate about ensuring that all guests have the best surf holiday in Morocco!

SURF COURSE AND ACTIVITIES

Our fully qualified surf instructors hold British Surfing Association (BSA) and Fédération Française de Surf qualifications, as well as being certified beach lifeguards, so you can rest assured you will receive quality and professional coaching. Plus, being Moroccan natives they know the local waves like no one else. Coaching is based on your level and requirements. We will also ensure that you experience different beaches and waves throughout the duration of your trip. After all, one of the best things about surfing in Morocco is the choice of waves to practice in. We limit the size of each lesson to 8 surfers per each instructor so you will get the most out of your lessons. Lessons are normally held in the morning, with a packed lunch on the beach and "free surf" in the afternoon. If you require additional lessons in the afternoon, this can be arranged. Lessons will be taught in English or French.?

Wetsuit, surfboard, packed lunch and transport to the beach are included in the lesson cost. We have a wide range of equipment avaliable to hire including foamie boards, longboards, intermediiate and shortboards, if you are not having lessons.

For the more experienced surfers who prefer to do their own thing, we offer surf guiding to all the local surf spots around Taghazout. Our guides will do the hard work for you, waking up early to check the conditions and finding you that all important rideable wave. So all you have to do is worry about catching it! We will pick you up in the morning and provide a tasty packed lunch so you can spend the day surfing in Morocco to your heart’s content. This option is great if you plan on bringing along your non-surfing partner or friend as they can come along to the beach with you, soak up the rays and catch you on camera!

For the odd occasion when the waves decide to take the day off, or if you fancy a day to re-charge, we ‘ll arrange a day trip to Paradise Valley or a visit to the souk (local market). Or for a small supplement we can help arrange the following: hamman/massages, jetski hire, beach camel / horse back riding, qbike/buggy hire, kite surfing in Essaouira, trip to Marrakech.
