Amouage by Surf Maroc
Amouage is where surf and yoga meet a boutique hotel. From humble beginnings, Amounage by Surf Maroc has emerged as one of southern Morocco’s best surf retreats, while also being a luxurious lodge in its own right. Founded by a few lost surfers with nothing more than a caravan and a few boards, today Amouage is something of an institution in Taghazout. Amouage offers stunning rooms with incredible beach side views, wifi, a spa, concierge facilities and even an on site cinema. Amouage has been featured in The Times, Conde Naste Traveller, The Telegraph, Stab Magazine, The Guardian, The Financial Times, and Vogue, amongst many more publications.

Surfing Highlights
Anchor Point
Anchor Point may be the most famous Moroccan point break. It’s very good and super consistent. Starts working at 3ft and holds up to 15ft and more. Anchor Point has 3 different sections along a reef and sand bottom next to a rocky point. The first section and second are great for cover ups and turns and the last one just gets hollow and fast.
Banana Point
Banana Point is located near the Village of Aourir, also called Banana Village due to the many banana plantations that are grown in the river bed facing the wave. It’s a mellow right-hand point break, with the potential for some very long rides. So much fun!
Killers Point
Killer Point get it’s name from the Killer whales that come and enjoy this calm bay during the summer months. The waves starts at the north end of the cliff, which makes it a quiet long paddle if the tide is not low enough. One of Morocco’s most reliable spots in terms of perfection and quality of waves.
Boilers
Boilers is a reef break located just before the light house in Cap Ghir. It’s a reef break where you can see the boiler of a boat at the start of the wave – how the spot got it’s name. The waves is fast and can have barrels sections, especially if it’s more than 6 ft. The rides can get to 400m long, from the boiler to the white house, but you’d better be fast if you want to connect the sections. At less than 4 ft, Boilers can be a wave for advanced intermediates to advanced, bigger than that, don’t venture out if you are unsure about what you are doing.
Tamri
Tamri Beach is the most consistent surf spot. When ever it’s flat everywhere else, you can always get a fun surf at Tamri. In the summer time, it’s where the local surfers from the area of Taghazout and Agadir can still get some very fun waves. If the sand banks are good, Tamri can be confused with beach breaks like Puerto Escondido or French hollow tubes. Works on different tides, depends how the banks are, and also on the swell. Very reliable.

Surfing
The Moroccan coastline is dotted with an abundance of quality surf spots ranging from the famous right-hand points such as Anchor Point and Killer Point to semi-secret slabs, great beginner points, beaches and everything in between. Anchor Point is a very consistent right hand point break in Morocco, however during summer it tends to be mostly flat. Works best in offshore winds from the North East. Groundswells are more common than windswells and the best swell direction comes from the north west. Best around low tide when there's less water running along the rocky/sandy point making it faster and more hollow for the barrel seekers. Fairly popular wave that can occasionally get crowded. Suits Intermediate to Advanced level surfers. Other fantastic breaks in the area are Hash Point & Panoramas.
Yoga
Yoga is a big part of the Amouage experience. They have in-house yoga teachers that blend dynamic Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Restorative, Hatha and Yin Yoga and offer inspiring, uplifting, and fun yoga classes for all abilities. In our opinion yoga goes hand in hand with surfing and it’s an important part of the Surf Maroc ethos. Classes are everyday, twice a day lasting a hour and open to everyone. Classes start at sunrise and sunset respectively at the Amouage shala
