Taghazout is the former fishing village that became Morocco's surf capital. Right next to it, Taghazout Bay is a newer resort with secure residences, a golf course, hotels and oceanfront restaurants. It is an increasingly popular place to rent a villa with a private pool.

Where Taghazout Bay is

Taghazout Bay lies north of Agadir, on the coastal road to Essaouira. Agadir airport and the city centre are reachable by car. A rental car remains the most practical way to enjoy the nearby beaches and the hinterland.

When to go

The region enjoys a mild climate all year round. Its winter is one of the most pleasant in Europe and North Africa, with sunny days while it is grey elsewhere. For surfers, the wave season generally runs from autumn to spring.

In winter, evenings and the water are cooler. A heated pool makes a real difference: check for this option before you book.

What to do in Taghazout Bay

Surf or learn to surf: the spots around Taghazout welcome all levels, with many surf schools.
Play golf: the resort has an oceanfront course.
Enjoy the beaches: long sandy beaches, ideal for sunset walks.
Leave the resort: Taghazout village with its cafés and narrow streets, or the valley and waterfalls inland.

Why choose a villa rather than a hotel

For a family or a group of friends, a villa offers more space and privacy than a hotel: a shared living room, an equipped kitchen, a garden and above all a pool that is yours alone. Everyone lives at their own pace, and meals happen whenever you like.

What to check before booking

The pool: private or shared? Heated in winter, and at what cost?
The residence: is it secure, with controlled access?
Sleeping arrangements: the number of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms that genuinely suit your group.
Equipment: air conditioning, kitchen, a workspace if you need to stay reachable.
The local contact: who welcomes you, and who answers if you need anything during your stay.
