Maryam El Gardoum was born and raised in the village of Tamraght on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Growing up surrounded by the ocean, surfing quickly became more than a sport it became a way of life. Today, she is a surfer, athlete, and business owner, dedicated to sharing her love for the sea and the vibrant surf culture of her village. As one of Morocco’s leading female surfers, Maryam inspires others to chase their dreams, embrace an active lifestyle, and experience the connection, freedom, and joy that the ocean brings.

Nestled in the heart of Tamraght, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains, Malibu Surf House is a charming and intimate guesthouse in southern Morocco’s Souss Massa region. The village sits just 20 km from Agadir and about 7 km from Taghazout, right in the middle of some of the country’s most famous right-hand point breaks. Inspired by traditional Moroccan architecture and laid-back beach cabins, the house blends authentic local character with the comfort of a boutique surf stay. Warm, welcoming, and built around connection and shared moments, it will be reserved exclusively for our Mamawata crew, creating a cozy Moroccan home by the sea.
