A Stylish Surf Haven with Infinite Views and a Communal Soul
A Stylish Surf Haven with Infinite Views and a Communal Soul
This isn’t another tired guesthouse with surfboards propped against peeling walls. Picture yourself swaying in a hammock surrounded by vintage Moroccan treasures, or sipping cocktails by the pool, overlooking an infinity of blue towards Anchor Point’s iconic waves.
It’s the kind of place you arrive at and immediately feel part of something. Connections form easily: over long tables at breakfast, shared rides in the 4x4, or quiet moments around the fireplace. The crowd ranges from pro surfers to urban creatives escaping the grind, all drawn into the laid-back rhythm of the place.
Whether you’re paddling out with one of the surf guides or watching sunset with a glass of wine, Amouage makes it easy to relax, connect, and stay longer than you had planned.

Rooms
Each of Amouage’s 26 rooms is designed with thoughtful minimalism and a warm, tactile calm. Whitewashed walls, crisp linens, and natural textures form the backdrop, accented by curated Moroccan details. Sunlight pours into breezy spaces that open onto views of the rugged mountains or the endless Atlantic. The most coveted is the Ocean Balcony Big, with its private terrace perfectly framing Taghazout’s surf breaks. For solo travellers, the boutique-style dorms are a standout. Each bunk has its own partition, light, storage, and a proper mattress. The perfect balance between privacy and the hotel’s communal feel.
Whether perched alone on a sunlit balcony or mingling in the lounge, every space here invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and let the ocean breeze take care of the rest.

Food & Drinks
Dining at Amouage is unfussy, generous, and subtly refined. Mornings start with a laid-back buffet of fresh fruit, local breads, eggs, and Moroccan staples. Heading out to surf for the day? Grab a lunch box filled with grains, salads, and just enough indulgence to keep you going between sessions. On slower days, or when the waves aren’t calling, the à la carte menu offers more to linger over.
As the sun drops, the terrace pulses with life. The bar pours dangerously good cocktails (go for the Amaretto Sour or the Springfield), and the kitchen serves seasonal plates with Moroccan touches. The grilled octopus is a favourite. Twice a week, Amouage becomes a gathering space for the broader Taghazout community. Their barbecues bring locals and guests together, sharing stories and laughter beneath the stars. It’s a communal ritual that captures the hotel’s spirit: casual, open-hearted, and anchored in shared experience.

Activities
Wellness at Amouage slips into your day almost without trying. Yoga takes place in the rooftop studio at sunrise and sunset, bathed in golden light, backed by an endless horizon. Sessions range from Core Power to gentle Yin and Restorative, with Breathwork and sound baths woven in to deepen the practice.
In between, you might retreat to the spa for a well-earned massage or fit in a session at the gym. Whether you’re flowing on the mat, watching the waves between poses, or simply resting, wellness here feels unforced, pleasantly accidental.

Surfing
Mornings at Amouage start with a surf check and a coffee, before hopping into a van headed for whichever break is working best. Your gear’s already loaded. Lunch is packed. Wetsuit dry. It’s a well-oiled system.
Amouage’s coaching is widely praised—not just for the technical insight, but for the instructors’ patience, humour, and genuine investment in your progress. The program is one of the most structured in the region, dividing surfers into six clear levels (a rare granularity) to ensure everyone is in the right lineup. Those already confident in the water can opt for the Surf Guiding package, where seasoned locals lead the way to lesser-known breaks. Even experienced surfers often say it’s the best coaching they’ve had. All this is supported by excellent equipment. Their sleek boardroom is stocked with gear to suit every style and condition.

The People Behind
Surf Maroc started in 2003 with two friends, five boards, and a Transit van that barely made it to Taghazout. No business plan, just Ollie and Ben following swells and figuring it out as they went. They decided to stay. Twenty years later, they're still here.
The operation remains remarkably familial. Ollie's wife Vicky built the yoga programme from nothing. She turned what could have been token wellness into something guests actually wake up for. Ben's wife Lily shapes the visual side, every tile, textile, and corner that makes you stop and look twice has her fingerprint on it. They still surf most mornings. Still know their regular guests by name.
The difference between Surf Maroc and operations that scale badly is that they've managed to grow without losing what made people like them in the first place. The staff set the tone, the guests complete it, and the result is hospitality that is not manufactured.
