Santa Cruz Surf Maroc's surf villa is nestled in the hills of the friendly surfer village Tamraght and just a short walking distance away from the beach, shops, and restaurants. Since the life of a surfer is very simplistic, they tried to aim for this in the design of the beautiful surf house.
Whether you're a solo traveller or coming with a family member or loved one, you'll find their accommodation spacious enough to suit your needs. The rooms are spread over four floors, most with an ocean view. The other rooms overlook the garden. Relax, do some yoga, or simply look at the amazing sunsets at one of the two terraces.
Program
Take your surf skill to the next level
Whether you are a newbie hoping to stand on the board or an advanced surfer looking to take your surf skill to the next level, Santa Cruz Surf Maroc welcomes all! Their experienced surf coaches will provide beginners with the necessary building blocks to achieve their goals and will help advanced surfers to fine tune their skills.
Since it is the ocean where you will be surfing, one of the most relevant skills to learn is how to read the condition of the sea. No matter which package you choose, they will teach you what you need to know about the sea, according to your level.
It takes time to master all the aspects of the sport, which is why they try to divide surfers according to their level. The First Wave package is for beginners. If you would like to accelerate your learnings, the private or semi-private package might be the solution for you. These packages are the same; however, they offer a lot more one-on-one time with your instructor.
The First Wave
Santa Cruz Surf Maroc's mission and commitment are for you to be able to stand on the board and ride a wave. You are guaranteed that they will make you stand on the board and be able to surf a wave, even if you have never seen the sea before.
The only thing that you are asked for is that you are able to swim. If you are not able to stand on the board by the end of your holiday, then your holiday is for free!

Instructors
Badr Kessar
As the main instructor and co-owner, Badr spent his early days at the beach as a qualified lifeguard. This is also how he discovered his love for the ocean and his passion for surfing. Making you stand on the board is not his only mission, it is also fundamental for him that his students enjoy and relax because, for him, surfing is supposed to be fun!
Location
Agadir is a beautiful yet unique city that combines tradition, interesting history, and palm-lined boulevards. During the earthquake in 1960, only three buildings survived; a mosque, a movie theatre, and the kasbah. Agadir was rebuilt three kilometers south of the ancient city.
The city becomes more popular every year due to its serene beaches, wide avenues, blooming gardens, and magnificent port. Before the earthquake, Agadir was also called "Santa Cruz" or "The Miami of Africa." Some of the attractions in Agadir are Souk el Hadad, Marina, the Kasbah, and the port.
Tamraght is a small village located just 15 kilometers north of Agadir and about five kilometers south of Taghazout. Together with Aourir, it is better known as Banana Village. Oued Tamraght separates the two villages and the name Banana Village comes from the banana groves along the river.
The two villages together share Banana Beach, which is great for beginner surfers. Tamraght is a peaceful Berber village nestled at the foothill of the mountain but just a stone's throw away from the Atlantic, most famous among surfers.
Food
The Moroccan cuisine is one of the most diversified and delicious cuisines in the world. While shopping in local markets and preparing food, cooking, serving, and eating any Moroccan dish, you will get to feel the remarkable influences of Morocco's long history of colonizers and immigrants who all left their marks and fingerprints in the country.
The first inhabitants, the Berbers, gave a big impact with dishes like tagine and couscous. The Arab invasion brought many new spices, nuts, dried fruits, and sweet and sour taste. These new influences upgraded the tagines with some new combinations, such as dates and lamb, as one of country's specialties today.
The Moors introduced amazing olives, olive juice, and citrus fruits, including the sophisticated preserving technique. During the Ottoman Empire, the nowadays so popular barbeque kebabs were introduced. Finally, the French left the big culture of cafes, pastries, and sweets.
It goes without saying that eating a Moroccan dish is not just eating, but much more than that. It is an experience of rich history, a connection with the food, and of course, a connection with the amazingly friendly Moroccan people.
