2025 Agadir Surf & Kitesurf Review: A 7-Day All-Inclusive Look
You know, there’s a certain pull to the idea of just dropping everything for a week. So, swapping spreadsheets for sunsets and conference calls for the sound of crashing waves is really something. That feeling was pretty much what led me to look into a seven-day, all-in water sports trip to Morocco. Specifically, it’s that all-inclusive surf and kitesurf package in Agadir for 2025 that, frankly, caught my eye. I mean, the whole idea seems simple enough, you just book it, pack a bag, and everything else is sorted. But, honestly, what’s it *really* like to spend a week trying to master two different boards on the Moroccan coast? Anyway, I went to find out, and to be honest, it was kind of a mix of pure magic, some comical wipeouts, and a whole lot of really, really good food.
First Impressions: The Surf Camp Vibe
Alright, so showing up after your flight can sometimes be a bit stressful, right? But, apparently, this setup is different. I mean, there’s a driver waiting for you, so that whole taxi-haggling scene is just, you know, not a thing. The drive itself is pretty much an introduction to the area, moving from the city bustle of Agadir towards the more relaxed coastline. Actually, the camp isn’t one of those massive, impersonal resorts at all. Instead, it feels more like a really big, comfortable home. Think traditional Moroccan design, you know, with those cool tiles and cozy courtyards, but also with modern stuff like decent Wi-Fi and comfy beds, which, at the end of the day, is pretty important.
Basically, the minute you walk in, you’re handed a glass of sweet mint tea. And I mean, that little act kind of sets the tone for the entire week. It’s all very relaxed and welcoming, frankly. You get to meet the other people on the trip pretty quickly, and everyone is more or less there for the same reason. Obviously, it’s about getting in the water, but it’s also about just switching off. The all-inclusive part becomes very real, very fast. You literally don’t have to think about where or what you’re going to eat. Honestly, just having that mental load removed is a vacation in itself, you know?
As a matter of fact, the best part was the rooftop terrace. So, every evening, people would just gather up there, watching the sun dip into the Atlantic. You could see the surf spots from there, which really gets you excited for the next day’s session, right?
Chasing Waves: The Daily Surfing Grind
So, a typical day starts pretty early, but in a good way. Often, there’s an optional yoga session on the roof, which, I mean, is a really nice way to get your body ready for the day. Breakfast is a huge spread; you’ve got fresh fruits, local breads, and pancakes—basically, plenty of fuel. Next, you load up the vans and head out to find the best waves for the day. The instructors are, like, constantly checking the charts, so you always end up at a spot that’s just right for the group’s level. For us, that usually meant places like Devil’s Rock or some of the gentler breaks around Taghazout, which is arguably a famous surf town just up the coast.
The lessons themselves are really practical, actually. You spend a little bit of time on the sand going over the basics or a new technique, and then it’s straight into the water. The instructors are in the water with you, giving you tips and, more or less, a literal push into the waves when you need it. Seriously, that small bit of help makes a huge difference. I saw people who’d never touched a surfboard before standing up by the end of the first day, you know? Lunch is often a packed meal right on the beach, which is sort of perfect. After lunch, you pretty much have a “free surf” session where you can just practice on your own, with the crew still keeping an eye out. To be honest, you get a lot of water time, and by the afternoon, you are just a little tired in that very satisfying way.
Getting Airborne: The Kitesurfing Days
Okay, so after a few days of getting comfortable with surfing, the schedule switches things up a bit, and you get introduced to kitesurfing. Now, the location for this is often a wide, open beach a short drive away where the wind is more consistent. I mean, they really seem to know the right spots for the right sport. First, you just learn to fly the kite on the sand, which, honestly, is a skill in itself. It feels a bit like you’re trying to tame a very powerful, very angry bird, you know? But the instructors are super patient, breaking it all down step-by-step. They’re obviously very focused on safety, which is frankly reassuring when you’re attached to a giant kite.
Once you’ve kind of got the hang of kite control, you move into the water. This part, called “body dragging,” is where the kite just pulls you through the water without a board. Actually, it’s incredibly fun and sort of makes you feel like a secret agent or something. Getting up on the board is definitely the hardest part, and it takes a few tries, at least for me it did. There’s this moment where everything just has to click into place—the kite, the board, your body position. But then, when it does, well, you’re literally flying across the water. It’s a very different feeling from surfing, but just as addictive. The all-inclusive gear was surprisingly good quality, so you really feel like you have the right tools for the job.
Food, Fun, and Everything in Between
So, let’s talk about the food, because honestly, it was a huge part of the experience. At the end of the day, you work up a massive appetite from being in the water all day. Every night, the in-house cooks would prepare these amazing traditional Moroccan dinners. We had chicken and lemon tagine one night, a massive vegetable couscous another, and even a big barbecue on the roof. It was all seriously delicious and really communal; everyone just eats together, family-style, sharing stories from the day’s adventures. Basically, they can handle dietary needs too, you just have to let them know in advance.
Anyway, the package also included some cool trips away from the beach. For instance, one afternoon we took a trip to Paradise Valley, which is this kind of oasis in the mountains with natural rock pools and waterfalls. It was a really nice change of scenery, and, I mean, who doesn’t like jumping off cliffs into fresh water? Another evening, a group of us took a taxi to the big souk in Agadir. You can just get lost in the little alleyways, looking at all the spices, leather goods, and lamps and stuff. The vibe in the evenings at the camp is very chill. Some people would play cards, others would just chat on the terrace. It’s not a party-hardy kind of place, which, frankly, is probably for the best when you have to get up for an early surf.
The Final Verdict: Who’s This Moroccan Adventure For?
Alright, so at the end of the day, who should book this trip? Well, if you are a complete beginner at surfing or kitesurfing, this is honestly a fantastic setup. You literally have everything taken care of, and the instruction is really supportive. It’s also pretty much perfect for solo travelers. I mean, you instantly have a group of like-minded people to hang out with, so you’re never really alone unless you want to be. For instance, I met people from all over the world, and it was great.
Couples or small groups of friends who are after an active holiday would probably love it too, you know? It’s a very bonding experience to learn something new and challenging together. On the other hand, if you’re a super advanced surfer or kiter looking for massive, dangerous waves, this specific package might be a bit tame. It tends to focus on safe, progressive learning spots. Similarly to that, if your idea of a vacation is just sipping cocktails by a resort pool, this is likely not for you. You are active pretty much all day. Honestly, you leave feeling tired but also completely refreshed and with a couple of new skills, which is a really great feeling to bring home.
