Surf Packages in Taghazout: Camps, Costs, and What's Included
Taghazout produces some of the best-value surf holidays in the world. Within a few kilometres of the village, you have Anchor Point, Hash Point, Panoramas, and a dozen other breaks covering beginner to expert levels - all reliable from October through April, with good swells year-round. Combine that with affordable all-in packages, Atlantic sunshine, and a village that exists almost entirely around surf culture, and it’s easy to see why Taghazout has become one of Europe’s most popular surf destinations.
This guide breaks down the real cost of surf packages, what different tiers include, and which camps are worth booking.
What a Surf Package Typically Includes
A standard 7-day surf package in Taghazout covers:
- Accommodation - from shared dorm to private double room depending on tier
- Daily surf sessions - typically 2 hours in the morning with an instructor; some camps add afternoon free surf
- Board and wetsuit hire - included in most packages; equipment quality varies
- Breakfast - standard across all tiers; evening meals vary
- Beach transfers - transport to and from breaks in a camp vehicle
Higher-tier packages add airport transfers, all meals, yoga sessions, hammam visits, and better equipment.
You can also book components separately: surf lessons in Taghazout start from approximately €35–50 per session if you’re not committing to a full-week package, and surfboard rental is available by the day or week if you’re travelling solo and want to self-manage.
Price Tiers: Budget, Mid-Range, and Premium
Budget: €350–€450/week
Who it’s for: Beginners on a tight budget, solo travellers happy with dorms, groups wanting to maximise time in the water over luxury facilities.
What to expect: Shared dormitory accommodation (4–8 beds per room), daily group lessons, shared meals or breakfast only, basic but functional equipment. Communal spaces are typically the social hub - rooftop terraces, shared lounge areas.
HashPoint Surf Camp is the most recognised name in the budget tier. Named after the break directly outside its doors, HashPoint runs tight group sessions with a strong beginner-to-intermediate focus. Dorm packages start from approximately €350/week including lessons and breakfast.
Surf Berbere also offers accessible pricing in the budget-to-mid range, with packages from approximately €380/week. Known for reliable lesson quality and a sociable atmosphere - popular with European backpackers.
Budget tip: Packages in the first two weeks of Ramadan sometimes come in 10–15% cheaper. If you can be flexible on dates, ask camps directly.
Mid-Range: €450–€600/week
Who it’s for: Improvers wanting small group coaching, couples who’d prefer a private room, anyone who wants meals included without paying premium rates.
What to expect: Private or twin room options, better equipment, smaller coach-to-student ratios (typically 1:6 versus 1:8 at budget camps), all meals included at some properties. Yoga sessions are often added at this level.
Surf Maroc is the go-to mid-range operator. Based across multiple properties in Taghazout and Tamraght, Surf Maroc has been running structured packages for over 15 years. Their mid-range properties offer private rooms, quality equipment, structured progression coaching, and strong logistics. Weekly packages from approximately €500 including accommodation, lessons, meals, and airport transfer. If you want reliability and a well-tested system, Surf Maroc is the benchmark.
Endless Wave (Tamraght) is a well-regarded mid-tier option slightly south of Taghazout, with a quieter atmosphere and good ocean views. Better for couples or those who want less of the backpacker hostel energy.
For those who want to balance surf with other activities, packages that include yoga alongside surf sessions are common at the mid-range level - morning surf, afternoon yoga, or vice versa.
Premium: €650–€1,000+/week
Who it’s for: Experienced surfers wanting progression coaching, couples seeking boutique accommodation, digital nomads blending work and surf, anyone who wants quality over cost.
What to expect: Private en-suite rooms, sea views, flexible session scheduling, experienced surf coaches rather than instructors-in-training, full board (all meals), additional activities included. Equipment quality is noticeably better - performance boards, proper wetsuits.
Amouage by Surf Maroc is Taghazout’s premium offering - a glass-fronted boutique property on the seafront with a yoga studio, hammam, and high-spec rooms. Surf is coached in small groups with experienced guides. Packages from approximately £700–£1,000 per week all-in. The standard of accommodation would feel at home in a boutique hotel; the surf coaching is genuinely high-level. Non-surfing partners can treat it as a yoga and wellness retreat.
Paradis Plage (3km south at Imi Ouaddar) is a resort-style property at the top of the price range - pools, spa, yoga shala, multiple restaurants, and surf infrastructure. More resort hotel than surf camp in atmosphere. Prices are seasonal and significantly higher at peak times.
Choosing the Right Break for Your Level
Package pricing sometimes varies by which breaks the camp focuses on:
- Beginners: The beach breaks at Boilers and Banana Point, and the gentler sections of Hash Point
- Intermediate: Hash Point proper, Panoramas, Devil’s Rock
- Advanced: Anchor Point - Morocco’s most celebrated right-hander; consistent 300m+ rides in good swell
Read the full comparison of Taghazout surf spots before choosing a camp - some operators have closer access to specific breaks.
Best Season for a Surf Package
October–March: Prime surf season. Swells are consistent, water temperature is 19–22°C, air temperature is mild. This is peak booking time - book 4–8 weeks ahead for preferred camps.
April–May: Good shoulder season. Swell still consistent, fewer crowds, some camps run lower prices.
June–September: Smaller surf, better for beginners. Air temperature is warmer; less atmosphere in the village as fewer surf travellers. Water is flat enough that a first-timer can learn the basics without getting overwhelmed.
What to Book in Advance vs On Arrival
Book in advance:
- Surf camp package (peak season fills fast)
- Airport transfer if arriving late or with boards - pre-booking via transfers to Taghazout is more reliable than negotiating at the airport at night
Fine to sort on arrival:
- Extra day trips (Paradise Valley, Essaouira) - arrange locally or ask your camp to recommend operators
- Equipment upgrades or additional rental days
Full-Service vs DIY
Some visitors prefer to manage their own accommodation and buy lessons and equipment as they go, rather than booking a package. This works well if you already surf and just need a base, but typically costs more overall when you factor in day-rate lessons and rental rather than the package rate.
See the surf camps guide for the full breakdown of properties.
Prices are approximate as of 2026 - confirm current rates directly with camps before booking.
