Tamraght is an excellent place to stay if you want a quieter, more local experience than Taghazout, without feeling isolated. The village has a relaxed rhythm, friendly surf culture, and enough cafés, restaurants, and shops to feel comfortable for short or longer stays.
It suits travellers who value:
Easy access to good surf beaches
Walkable village life
A slower pace than resort areas
Affordable modern accommodation
Tamraght is especially popular with surfers, digital nomads, solo travellers, and couples looking for a low-key coastal base. Families also stay here, although larger resorts nearby may offer more facilities for younger children.
Tamraght is a small village, which has been rapidly growing over the past few years. Choosing the right area can shape your entire experience. Accommodation is spread between the beachfront, the main village streets, and the quieter hills above the coast. Each offers a slightly different atmosphere depending on whether you prioritise surf access, café culture, or peace and views.
Staying Near Tamraght Beach
If surf access is your main priority, staying near the beach is the best option. Imourane Beach and the surrounding coastline are within easy walking distance of many surf houses and guesthouses. This area suits travellers who want early morning surf sessions, sunset walks, and minimal need for transport.
Staying in Tamraght Village
Tamraght village sits slightly inland on a hill overlooking the beaches, but remains within walking distance of the beach. Staying here gives you better access to cafés, bakeries, small supermarkets, yoga studios, and newer air-conditioned coffee spots that are popular with remote workers.
This area works particularly well for longer stays or for travellers who are not surfing every day. Accommodation ranges from budget guesthouses to stylish boutique stays with rooftop terraces and sea views.
Most surf camps provide daily surf trips to the best local spots. So do not be put off staying here if you do want to surf everyday.
Staying Between Tamraght and Taghazout
Some properties are located on the northern edge of Tamraght, closer to Taghazout. This can be a great choice if you want to experience both villages without changing accommodation.
You will have easier access to Taghazout’s cafés, surf shops, and nightlife, while still being able to retreat to Tamraght’s calmer and more residential atmosphere at the end of the day.
Tamraght does not have large resort-style hotels in the centre of the village. Instead, it is known for boutique guesthouses, small design-led stays, and surf-focused accommodation with strong character and good value.
One recent exception is Nobi Boutique Surf Hotel, which has introduced a larger, more facility-driven concept to the village. However, most visitors still choose smaller, more intimate properties that reflect Tamraght’s relaxed atmosphere.
Nobi Boutique Surf Hotel
Nobi Boutique Surf Hotel is one of the newest additions to Tamraght and offers a more upscale, resort-style experience within the village itself. The hotel features a pool, gym facilities, and modern design throughout, making it feel more polished than traditional surf houses.
It is a good choice if you want the convenience of on-site facilities while still being based in Tamraght rather than Taghazout Bay. This is one of the few properties locally that blends surf culture with a more contemporary boutique hotel feel.

The Lodge

The property combines boutique hotel design with a creative, social atmosphere, offering comfortable rooms, inviting communal areas, and regular wellness activities.
It works particularly well for couples and solo travellers who want something more refined than a traditional surf camp. Reliable WiFi and well-designed shared spaces also make it suitable for longer stays.
Riad Dar Haven
Riad Dar Haven is a peaceful guesthouse located in the heart of the village, offering sweeping views over the coastline. Rooms are spacious and thoughtfully decorated, and the overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming.
This is a good option for travellers who prioritise privacy and comfort while still being close to the beach. The small pool and terrace areas provide a relaxing space to unwind after a day in the sun.
Surf culture is central to Tamraght’s identity. Many visitors choose accommodation that combines lodging, daily surf sessions, equipment hire, and a social atmosphere. Staying in a surf house means everything is organised for you, from transport to the best breaks to post-surf dinners and watching the sunset from the rooftops..
These properties are ideal for beginners, solo travellers, and anyone who wants to meet other surfers while staying close to everything that Tamraght has to offer.
Manzili Surf House
Manzili Surf House is one of the most established surf stays in Tamraght. It offers comfortable private and shared rooms, communal dining spaces, and organised surf packages for all levels. Lessons, guiding, board hire, and transfers to different surf spots are typically included, making it a very easy option if you want a structured surf experience.
The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with a strong community feel that works particularly well for solo travellers.
Malibu Surf House
Malibu Surf House is a laid-back and welcoming option, popular with beginner and intermediate surfers. The property features rooftop terraces, social dining areas, a private courtyard pool and organised surf sessions that make it easy to settle in quickly.
It strikes a good balance between affordability and comfort, offering structured surf days alongside relaxed evenings in the village. The couple who run Malibu are awesome and we loved spending time with them. They will make you feel very at home.
Blue Waves Surf House
Blue Waves Surf House is located just to the south of Tamraght in Anza, however it is a popular choice which is worth including. Blue Waves focuses on community and experience rather than luxury. With shared and private rooms, optional yoga sessions, and daily surf guidance, it appeals to travellers who prioritise time in the water.
Tamraght works very well for couples looking for a relaxed coastal escape without the party atmosphere of busier surf towns. Choosing a quieter guesthouse or boutique-style stay allows you to enjoy ocean views, peaceful evenings, and easy access to the beach while still being close to local cafés and restaurants.
These properties offer more privacy and comfort than surf camps, making them ideal for romantic getaways or slower trips.
The Lodge
The Lodge is one of the most stylish places to stay in Tamraght. Rooms are thoughtfully designed, communal areas feel calm rather than chaotic, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed but refined. It is a great option for couples who want comfort, character, and a social atmosphere that still feels grown-up.
The rooftop spaces and shared areas make it easy to enjoy sunset views without the noise of busier surf houses.
Riad Dar Haven

Tamraght is becoming increasingly popular with digital nomads thanks to affordable accommodation, a relaxed atmosphere, and improving WiFi across many guesthouses, surf lodges and coffee shops. It offers a slower alternative to larger Moroccan cities while still having enough infrastructure to work comfortably.
When choosing where to stay, look for:
Strong and reliable internet
Quiet communal areas or private rooms
Easy access to cafés
Weekly or monthly stay discounts
Tamraght also has a growing café community, with several new, clean cafés that are bright, modern, and often air conditioned. Many offer good coffee, comfortable seating, and a calm environment that works well for a few focused hours of work.
The Lodge
The Lodge is particularly well suited to longer stays. It offers reliable WiFi, spacious communal areas, and a comfortable atmosphere that feels productive rather than chaotic. Its central location makes it easy to move between your accommodation and nearby cafés.
If you are looking for a higher-end, resort-style experience while visiting Tamraght, the larger hotels in Taghazout Bay and Agadir are worth considering. These properties offer full resort facilities including pools, spas, multiple restaurants, and in some cases all inclusive packages.
That said, our personal preference would be to stay in Tamraght itself. The boutique guesthouses and smaller surf lodges in the centre of the village feel far more authentic and enjoyable. You are closer to local cafés, the beach, and the relaxed rhythm that makes Tamraght special. However, if comfort, facilities, and convenience are your priority, these larger resorts provide a very easy and polished stay.
Fairmont Taghazout Bay
Fairmont Taghazout Bay is one of the most luxurious resorts in the region. It offers beachfront villas, multiple pools, a large spa, and high-end dining. The setting is peaceful and well designed, making it ideal for couples, honeymooners, or anyone wanting privacy and comfort.
Hyatt Regency Taghazout Bay
Hyatt Regency Taghazout Bay provides modern rooms, ocean views, and a well maintained resort layout. It works well for families or travellers who want access to surf beaches while still enjoying resort amenities such as pools and restaurants on site.
