The best surf camp in Morocco? Discover Zen Surf Morocco
Your Ultimate Surf Camp Experience
Travel with purpose: A positive social & environmental impact
Our unbeatable beachfront location
Our unbeatable beachfront location sets Zen Surf Morocco apart – we’re the only surf camp directly on the beach, offering unparalleled oceanfront accommodation with immediate access to the waves.
For beginner surfers
Our surf camp in Morocco is conveniently located within easy reach of the excellent beach breaks of the Taghazout area, and our daily surf shuttle will take you to the best spots for your level, regardless of conditions. We know the sheltered breaks for big swells and the exposed spots for smaller days, making every day a beautiful day of surfing.
For more experienced surfers
A few steps away from the surf camp, Banana Point offers ideal conditions for experienced surfers who have chosen the “Freedom Surfer” package, especially during the fall/winter/spring season. For intermediate and advanced surfers, this direct access to world-class surfing, from dawn till dusk, is a rare and invaluable perk you won’t find elsewhere. Once you’ve experienced the ease of surfing right outside your accommodation, you’ll never want to stay anywhere else!

An Eco-friendly surfcamp
In an era where human development increasingly pressures our natural world, acting responsibly is no longer an option – it’s a necessity. At Zen Surf Morocco, we’re deeply committed to reducing our environmental footprint and preserving the beauty of the Moroccan coastline that allows us to surf. Here’s how we actively contribute to a more sustainable future for surf tourism:
Beach preservation and waste reduction
As the only surf camp directly on the beach in the Taghazout region, we feel a deep responsibility to protect our immediate environment, which is truly our home. That’s why we take proactive steps in beach preservation and waste reduction:
➼ We organize regular beach clean-up operations with local associations and village children, ensuring our coastline remains pristine for everyone to enjoy.
➼ To drastically cut down on single-use plastic pollution, we’ve installed a state-of-the-art reverse osmosis machine at our surf camp. It provides 100% safe, drinkable water, which we serve to guests in reusable glass bottles. This initiative alone saves us from discarding an incredible 100 five-liter plastic bottles every single week!
➼ We bring reusable water tanks for beach sessions, ensuring our guests stay hydrated without contributing to plastic waste.
Supporting local sustainability
➼ Zero Organic Waste: All organic waste and leftovers from our meals are collected each evening by a local farmer. This ensures nothing goes to waste, providing nutritious feed for his livestock and contributing to valuable compost production.
➼ Harnessing Solar Power: We leverage the abundant Moroccan sun to heat our water, significantly reducing our energy consumption
➼ Farm-to-Table Freshness: Every day, we source our fresh produce directly from the village, ensuring our delicious traditional dishes are prepared with the freshest local ingredients. All our vegetables come directly from the Wednesday’s local market, supporting local farmers and reducing food miles.
➼ Mindful Menus: We also offer our guests highly appreciated vegetarian and vegan menu options, further promoting sustainable and diverse dietary choices
Making a Difference: Our Social Commitment
At Zen Surf Morocco, we believe that true travel enriches not only the visitor but also the local community. Recognizing the developmental challenges Morocco faces, we are deeply committed to being a force for positive change.
Here's how we get involved
➼ Employee Welfare: We prioritize the well-being of our dedicated Zen Surf team, ensuring they receive salaries above local standards and providing full social security benefits – a practice not universally common
➼ Stability During Challenges: During the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic, when many tourist establishments closed and laid off staff, we chose to retain our employees. Their unwavering quality of work and exceptional service are cornerstones of our success and reliability
➼ Community Development: Each year, we sponsor local associations that actively organize surfing competitions to support local talent and coordinate vital “beach cleaning” operations to preserve our beautiful coastline.
A 100% legal and transparent company
At Zen Surf Morocco, we believe in complete transparency and operate with the highest standards of legality and safety, ensuring your peace of mind from the moment you book
➼ Fully Licensed & Insured: We hold all necessary legal authorizations and insurances for both accommodation and surf lessons in Morocco. While this might seem obvious, many operations in the region don’t meet these standards. We’ve got you covered so you can focus purely on enjoying your surf holiday.
➼ Expert Local Instructors: Your safety and progression are our top priorities. We exclusively hire local, qualified surf instructors with extensive experience and essential certifications (including surf instructor and lifeguard certifications). Their expertise ensures you’re in the best hands.
➼ Transparent Pricing: Our prices are “all-included”, meaning there are no hidden fees or unwelcome surprises upon your arrival. What you book is what you get! For added security, we also offer optional insurance for both surf school activities and equipment.
➼ Authentic Reviews: We are proud that all our Tripadvisor and Google reviews are 100% genuine, coming directly from guests who have actually stayed at our surf camp in Morocco. You’ll be hard-pressed to find another surf camp with such a high volume of consistently positive feedback, guaranteeing you a quality experience when you choose to book with us.

Taghazout: a region with a strong culture
The first question to ask is: why choose a surf camp in Morocco, and more specifically in the Taghazout area?
Authentic villages
The Taghazout region offers a truly rich and unique culture, distinct from both European countries and even other parts of Morocco. Just a few decades ago, this area was a small, isolated fishing region. While surfing in Taghazout has brought significant development to the three main villages – Aourir, Tamraght, and Taghazout – they’ve remarkably retained their genuine Moroccan feel. You will immediately sense this authentic atmosphere in the local life, a captivating blend of traditional charm and growing surf culture.
A world-class surfing destination
Taghazout is a unique place where the legendary Northern Atlantic swells meet Morocco’s golden coastline, creating perfect conditions for all surfers, from eager beginners to seasoned pros, and making it a world-renowned surfing destination in the surfing community and beyond. But the magic extends beyond the surf. Our villages captivate with their authentic charm, a fusion of local heritage and a laid-back surf culture. Join Zen Surf Morocco for an unforgettable surf camp holiday and immerse yourself in the vibrant, soulful atmosphere of Morocco’s premier surf spot.
