After thousands of guests, countless Plum & Rhum nights and too many epic surf sessions to remember, we’re taking Maceda on the road.
Loïc, Rachel and our team leaders Niki and Chaussette the cat will meet you in Morocco for a week-long adventure. We’ll experience this vibrant country the way it’s meant to be experienced – by immersing ourselves in the many unique, surprising and fascinating aspects of Moroccan culture.
Did we mention there will be amazing waves, too? Our charming accommodation is situated in a fisherman’s village, between Essaouira and Imsouane. But surfing is just one part of the adventure.
We have so many cool things planned, and our dream is to bring everything you love about Maceda – the friendly vibes, warm atmosphere and fun times – to this stunning African country.
If you dream of visiting Morocco, crave the warm sun in winter or simply want to tick another world-class surf destination off the list, this is your chance.

“Loic is a really kind guy who teaches you both theory and practice and explains everything in a very good way. Very good for beginners, because he starts slowly to give you a feeling for the ocean/waves before you get on the surfboard, which makes you feel very comfortable!”
