Where to Stay in Taghazout

The heart of Taghazout is a charming former fishing village with narrow blue and white streets, rooftop cafes, and direct beach access. Most surf camps, hostels, and coworking spaces are located here. The main strip runs along the beach with restaurants, shops, and stunning sunset views. Walkable and lively with a strong surf community vibe, though can be touristy during peak season. Some bars available for nightlife.

A quieter alternative to Taghazout, Tamraght is a hillside village about 3km south with a more local, authentic feel. Known for better laptop-friendly cafes and a growing digital nomad community. Accommodation is mostly surf houses, hostels, and apartments scattered up the hill. Less touristy with friendly locals who remember your coffee order. Beach access requires a walk down the hill.

The modern resort area north of Taghazout village featuring luxury hotels including Hyatt, Fairmont, and Hilton. Developed as part of a national sustainable tourism project with golf courses, spas, and direct beach access. Perfect for those wanting resort amenities, pools, and upscale dining. More expensive but offers comfort and services not found in the village.

Located about 10km south of Taghazout, Aourir is a larger local town known for its banana plantations and Sunday souk market. More affordable accommodation and the nearest ATM and bank facilities. Less surf-focused and more authentically Moroccan, offering a different perspective on local life. Good option for those wanting to be near but not in the tourist zone.
