Surf Camp Morocco – Frequently Asked Questions
Here you'll find answers to the most common questions about our surf camp in Morocco — surfing levels, accommodation, logistics, and how our organized surf weeks work.
Surfing & Levels
- Yes, absolutely! Most of our guests start from zero — in every group we have complete beginners training together in small groups. Our instructors guide you step by step, and you’ll laugh more than you fall, we promise. You can read more about our approach in this article dedicated to our teaching method for beginners
Yes, absolutely. We always divide guests into small groups based on their level, so everyone gets the right kind of experience in the water.
If you’re an intermediate surfer, you won’t be placed with beginners. Instead, we focus on helping you improve your technique, confidence, and wave selection. We also choose surf spots depending on the group’s level and daily conditions, so you’re always in an environment that supports your progress.

Yes — and surf guiding is one of our core strengths. Surf Villa was built around the vision of Brahim Iddouch — a professional athlete who grew up surfing this coastline. Today, he works closely with a team of strong local surfers who know these breaks inside out.
Each year, we also host professional surfers and bodyboarders who stay with us between competitions — and we guide them during their time here

No, you don’t need any previous surfing experience to join.
Most of our guests are beginners, and we structure the week to support you from the very start — from your first time in the water to catching your first waves.
Our instructors guide you step by step, and sessions are adapted to your level and pace, so you can build confidence without pressure.
At the same time, we also work with intermediate and advanced surfers, so everyone is placed in the right group and gets the most out of their time in the water

And honestly, it happens quite often that non-surfing partners get curious during the week and sometimes end up trying it themselves

Accommodation & Life at the Villa
Yes — we offer vegetarian and vegan meal options.

Yes — most of our guests travel solo.
The format of the week makes it easy to connect with others naturally: small groups, shared experiences, and time spent together both in and out of the water.
At the same time, you’ll always have your own space and time to yourself if you need it. It’s a social experience, but never overwhelming

Yes — it’s possible to work remotely from the villa during your stay.
We have stable Wi-Fi and bright, comfortable common areas where you can work if needed. Some guests combine the week with light work or a flexible schedule.
But we usually recommend stepping away from your routine as much as possible. The week is designed to be fully experienced — and most people find it far more valuable when they allow themselves to disconnect

If you’re arriving in Casablanca or Marrakech, that’s not a problem. We’ll send you clear instructions on how to get to Agadir, and meet you there once you arrive. Everything is coordinated in advance, so the journey stays simple and stress-free
