EnglishTaghazout Surf Camp vs. Private Apartment: Which Should You Choose for a Morocco Surf Holiday?
Updated
Choose the surf camp if you want lessons, kit hire, meals, and accommodation bundled into one seafront stay — it's the simpler option for beginners and for anyone who wants the social side of a surf trip. Choose a private apartment if you're travelling as an independent group or family and want to set your own schedule. Surf Berbere runs both from its base on Taghazout's seafront at Hash Point, so the real question is how much structure you want.
What the surf camp includes
Surf Berbere describes its camp as an all-inclusive base for a week of surfing, with daily vans taking surfers of all levels out to the area's spots. The published packages show what's bundled:
| Package | Who it's for | What's included (per site) |
|---|---|---|
| Surf School Package | Beginners with less than 4 weeks of surfing experience | A week of surf lessons, all kit hire, meals, and a stay at the seafront camp on Hash Point |
| Surf & Yoga Package | Beginners with less than 4 weeks of surfing experience | Surf lessons plus a sunset yoga class at the end of the day, to stretch out before the next session |
| Become a Surf Instructor | People who want to qualify as instructors | A 4-week course to become a qualified Level 1 surf instructor and lifeguard, with accommodation, surf kit, and coaching included |
The camp also runs daily yoga classes in a waterfront open-air studio and serves meals from its Hash Point Cafe. For experienced surfers, the offer shifts from lessons to surf guiding — vans take them to the best spots in the area rather than coaching them through the basics.
What the apartment option suits
The site lists apartment rentals for "more independent groups and families." That's the key distinction: the camp is built around a shared daily rhythm (vans going out, set lesson times, meals at the cafe), while an apartment lets a group or family keep their own hours and eat on their own schedule. If your group includes non-surfers or young children, or you'd rather not commit to a fixed package, the apartment side of the operation is the more flexible fit.
How to decide
Work through these questions in order:
- How much surfing experience do you have? Under 4 weeks, and the Surf School or Surf & Yoga package gives you coaching, kit, and meals without you arranging any of it. Well beyond that, ask about surf guiding instead of lessons.
- Do you want the trip organised for you? If yes, the camp removes the logistics — you show up, the van leaves, the food is at the cafe. If you'd rather plan your own days, the apartment is the match.
- Who are you travelling with? A group of friends or a family that wants independence points to the apartment. A solo traveller or a pair who want to meet other surfers points to the camp, where the shared vans and meals create the social side.
- Do you want yoga built in? The Surf & Yoga package pairs lessons with a sunset class; if that appeals, it's a reason to take a package rather than self-cater.
- Is anyone in your group not surfing? The camp's rhythm is built around surf outings. A family with non-surfers may find the apartment easier to shape around everyone.
If none of the listed packages fit, the site invites you to get in touch directly to see whether a custom arrangement is possible — worth doing before you book an apartment elsewhere, since the same operator runs both.
A practical note on timing
Taghazout's appeal, as the site puts it, is year-round sunshine and waves that work for both beginners learning and experienced surfers chasing barrelling right-hand point breaks. That means the camp-versus-apartment choice isn't really about season — it's about how you want to spend your days once you're there. Decide on structure versus flexibility first, then pick the package or rental that matches.
