LOOKING FOR A STYLISH HOTEL, WITH HIGH QUALITY SURF COACHING AND GREAT FOOD AND PEOPLE? AMOUAGE HAS IT ALL.
Amouage is the latest addition of surfmaroc in Taghazout. It´s Surf Resort that makes you feel at home from day one. The hosts are exeptional and make a great job and the surf coaches are the best I had so far. I keep being diapointed when I travel because my first real surf resort exerience was here and it´s hard to find a place that beautiful paired with such a coaching quality. You can stay here as non surfer as well, but most people will surf. The crowd is mixed and age average is 25-45. You will meet people from all over the world and the shared tables will make sure you meet a lot of them. So solo travelller will have fun as well.
THE ROOMS
You can chose: Bunk Rooms for the ones on a budget, mountain Rooms with a view to the street or Ocean Rooms with or without balcony.
Those without balcony are a little bit bigger. For the one who wants to maximize the experience, opt for their Best Room. All the rooms are well decorated in modern moroccan style and with a really nice boho vibe.
THE FOOD
You will get breakfast,there you can also pack your lunch bag for the beach, in the afternoon they will serve complimentary tea with fruits and cake and a delicious dinner everyday. If you like to order some food for lunch while you take a day off, you are free to do so. Prices on the bar are quite moderate. Amouage is one of the very few locations in Taghazout aloud to sell alcohol.
THE EXTRAS
Enjoy a moroccan night with traditional buffet on mondays, a movie night on wednesday and the great thursday BBQ. If you are lucky you will find a nice party with DJ afterwards, where all the surfmaroc guests of the different locations come together for some epic nights.
Hosts and staff are really welcoming and special and will make you feel at home. You will never want to leave again
THE SURF:
You have 6 different Levels to chose from, to be sure to get homogene groups. Maximum group size is 8. If you are an advanced surfer, surf guiding is available from Level 3. Depending on the season and temperature you will be picked up at 08:30 or 09:00 am, Your coach will check the spots around until you find something that suits your level and than go into the water for approximately 2 hours. Aftera break on the beach with your lunchbag you´ll be free to add some surfing on your own. Coaches will mostly stay on the beach on the afternoon and watch you from there. You´ll be back at Amouage around 3-4pm, sometimes later depending on the distance to the spot.
