Arriving in Morocco

Travel

The nearest airport is Agadir Al Massira Airport, approximately 40 minutes from Maktub Maroc.

We can arrange a private airport transfer for €30 per car, each way. Please send us your arrival time and flight number in advance.

Morocco is a popular international travel and surf destination. Aourir is a lively coastal village where visitors are generally welcomed warmly.

As with any destination, guests should take normal travel precautions, protect their valuables and respect local customs.

Visa requirements depend on your nationality, passport and length of stay.

Many travellers can visit Morocco for short stays without obtaining a visa in advance. However, immigration rules can change, so you should always check with an official Moroccan embassy or consulate before booking your trip.

Life at Maktub

During Your Stay

Every day is slightly different because our schedule depends on the surf conditions.

After breakfast, we travel to the most suitable surf spot. Our lessons are fun, informative and focused on helping you improve. We then enjoy a beach-packed lunch together.

After lunch, you may relax on the beach, practise surfing, enjoy beach volleyball or return to the surf house.

Guests on the Surf & Yoga package also enjoy a surf-focused yoga class, normally before surfing or before dinner.

We usually end the day with a homemade Moroccan dinner, sometimes served on our rooftop terrace.

Some days may include trips or activities such as Imsouane, Paradise Valley, sandboarding, hammam or massage, depending on your package and interests.

Our schedule remains flexible so we can make the most of the ocean conditions while taking care of the planning for you.

Of course. Your partner can book accommodation only or create a personalised package with yoga, excursions, relaxation and other activities while you surf.

Besides surfing, you can visit Paradise Valley, explore local markets, enjoy camel or horse riding, go sandboarding, take a quad-bike tour, or discover Taghazout and Agadir.
