Welcome to The Surf House

A beautiful guesthouse on the wave-pounded shores of Morocco.

Sparkling seas, bright blue skies, nothing and no-one for miles.

But then you hear the first whisper…

The woman who stayed here before you – who walked the same beaches, met the same guests – disappeared one year earlier, vanishing without a trace.

Every room tells a story.

Every guest hides a secret.

Every holiday has an end.
