Morocco: Summit to Sea
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." ~ Saint Augustine
LuxSurf's Morocco journey blends the challenge of North Africa's highest summit with the thrill of world-class Atlantic surf breaks. The experience begins in the vibrant medina of Marrakech, climbs through Berber villages to the summit of Jebel Toubkal at 4,167m, then transitions to the coast for six days of surfing the legendary breaks around Taghazout.
Every element is privately arranged — from expert mountain guides and Berber hosts to private surf coaching, luxury riads, and a beachfront eco-resort nestled between the Atlas Mountains and a five-kilometre sandy beach.

Arrive in Marrakech
On arrival into Marrakech Airport, you are personally met and taken to your accommodation. After settling in, take a stroll through the Medina and enjoy a Welcome Dinner tonight. Overnight at Riad Kheirredine, just a short stroll from the lively Jemaâ El Fna Square.
Riad Kheirredine
Riad Kheirredine offers an enchanting escape in the heart of Marrakech. This charming riad, with a remarkable guest rating of 9.8, showcases traditional Moroccan design through beautifully adorned interiors and serene courtyards. Each of the 11 rooms is individually decorated, combining authentic Moroccan craftsmanship with modern amenities, including a plunge pool, hammam, and a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the Medina and the Atlas Mountains.
Explore Marrakech
Spend the day discovering the cultural and historical treasures of Marrakech. Visit iconic landmarks like the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and the bustling souks of the old medina, where artisan stalls overflow with tagines, ceramics, textiles, leather goods, and spices in every colour imaginable.
Head to Imlil Valley
Leave the city behind and head into the High Atlas Mountains, arriving at the peaceful village of Imlil. Check into Riad Ouassaggou and enjoy the fresh mountain air and stunning scenery beneath snow-capped peaks. This is the launching point for your Toubkal ascent.
Imlil to Toubkal Refuge
Trek via Aremd (1,900m) and Sidi Chamharouch (2,310m), then a gradual ascent through alpine terrain to Refuge du Toubkal at 3,206m. Trek time: 5–6 hours. Distance: ~11 km. Elevation gain: +1,460m. Terrain includes mule paths, steady incline, and rocky moraine above 2,500m.
Summit Jebel Toubkal
Pre-dawn climb from the Refuge via the South Cirque to the summit of Jebel Toubkal (4,167m) — the highest peak in North Africa. Enjoy 360° panoramic views of the Atlas, Anti-Atlas, Sahara, and the Marrakech plain before descending to the Refuge, then continuing down the valley to Imlil. Trek time: 9–10 hours total.
Imlil to Taghazout
Transfer five hours from Imlil through the infamous Tizi n'Test pass, connecting the Atlas Mountains with Taroudant and the Souss region. The drive opens up incredible panoramic views before arriving at the beach in Taghazout. As driving experiences go, it would be top of the list.
Surfing Taghazout
A stunning coastline full of world-class surf spots just a short drive away. With over 18 surf spots, there's a wide selection for all levels — from beginner-friendly beach breaks to the legendary Anchor Point, reserved for experienced surfers. Your private surf guide knows exactly where to take you each day.
Paradis Plage
Your six-night beachfront stay at Paradis Plage — Morocco's first eco-resort — sits between the Atlas Mountains and a five-kilometre sandy beach. Enjoy professional surf lessons, daily yoga sessions in the beachfront pavilion, a luxurious spa with traditional Moroccan treatments, and four restaurants including a beachside eatery offering grilled seafood.
Farewell at La Sultana
Return to Marrakech for a farewell dinner and overnight at La Sultana Marrakech — a beautifully restored building in the heart of the Kasbah, once the grain stores for the Royal Palace. With 28 individually styled rooms and suites, patios sculpted by master craftsmen, and rooftops overlooking the city, it is the hidden gem of quintessential Moroccan heritage.
