More than just a Surf Camp in Tamraght

Salt House Morocco is built around three things: authentic Moroccan culture, genuine surf coaching, and a community that makes solo travellers feel at home within 48 hours.

We host a maximum of 24 guests at a time — small enough to feel personal, social enough to meet people from across the world. Our 4 ISA-certified Moroccan instructors lead every session, grouping guests by level to ensure real, visible progression in the water.
Beyond the waves, a week here includes home-cooked Moroccan meals shared around one table, surf skate sessions, hammam visits, music nights, and day trips to the valleys and coastline around Agadir. Everything is designed to give you an experience of Morocco, not just of surfing.
