5 beste Surfhotels in Ghazoua

Surf hotels in Ghazoua suit travellers who want to wake up close to the Atlantic surf circuit while keeping their trip calm and local. Ghazoua sits just outside Essaouira on the Essaouira coast, with easy access to major nearby beach-break areas including the Plage de Ghazoua itself and the wider Sidi Kaouki stretch—around a 25 km drive south along the same coastline. In practical terms, “surf hotels” here means you’re booking accommodation that lets you do early sessions, return for showers and breakfast, and spend evenings exploring Essaouira’s medina rhythm rather than commuting far.

This setup particularly fits beginners through intermediate surfers who prefer lessons/camps and straightforward beach access, plus families and couples who want a comfortable base without sacrificing wave time. If you’re more experienced, the local value is the flexibility: you can chase wind and swell changes across the Essaouira–Ghazoua–Sidi Kaouki corridor without losing a whole day.

For where to stay, consider your pace: a hotel-style base for convenience near the main access routes, or a riad for a quieter, more atmospheric stay after surf. On our books, Riad Les Deux Mondes (3★), tamayourt (3★) and Riad l'Eucalyptus (3★) are strong picks for that “close-to-everything, come back and unwind” style, while Ksar Meriem (3★) suits travellers who want a straightforward, comfort-led stay with a classic coastal-holiday feel.
