When it comes to planning a luxury surf trip, staying at a Maldives surf resort is a firm favourite. Tropical vibes, decadent luxury, a huge variety of world class waves and even some exclusive surf spots – what’s there not to like?

But the surfing the Maldives isn’t always a budget buster – there are some awesome local island options for those who want to experience paradise without the price tag, all surrounded by incredible surf breaks.

The rugged coastline of Morocco is peppered with incredible surf spots, some of which are well known, some of which only the adventurous surfer getting off the beaten track will be rewarded with.

But without a doubt, the centre of the Moroccan surf scene is Taghazout – a once sleepy fishing village, which is now a mecca for surfers from across the globe.

And a stay at a Taghazout surf camp put you right in the middle of one of the most wave-rich stretches of coastlines on the planet.

Experienced surfers are spoilt for choice, with world-class point breaks like Anchor Point offer plenty of tube time, or punch reef like Boilers.

For beginners and intermediates, there are plenty of spots to progress your surfing – like the famous Devils Rock, Panoramas and Banana Point.

The bottom line is – if you’re looking for adventure, culture and a solid helping of waves, Morocco is an epic option!
