Taghazout

This former fishing village has become a legendary surf spot. Life flows peacefully here between seaside cafés, yoga sessions, and gliding on the waves. Right next door, the eco-responsible resort of Taghazout Bay brings together prestigious, international-standard hotel addresses, with the elegant Taghazout Golf course and mineral hills, often covered with argan trees, the emblematic trees of Southwestern Morocco, in the background.

What makes this Atlantic escape the perfect winter daydream?

• Because Taghazout is a wellness destination that suits both athletes (surfers, golfers, joggers) and those who love to relax.
• Because, during this season, the sun is both generous and mild, with average temperatures of 22°C (around 72°F), ideal for walking or hiking. And, what’s more, the end of the year takes on a festive air. New Year’s Eve dinners and parties are on the agenda at the Taghazout Bay resorts, featuring DJs, sunset views, and yoga sessions on the beach. It’s the perfect way to fully recharge your batteries.

Must-do in the Bay

• Stroll through the charming village, with its narrow streets descending to the cafés and small eateries by the water.

• Visit the Argan Tree Museum to learn everything about this indigenous tree and taste a local specialty, Amlou, composed of argan oil, honey, and almonds.

• Explore Paradise Valley (10 km east of Taghazout), which winds between palms and rocks, opening up to natural pools where you can swim.

The Best Thrills to the Rhythm of the Waves

• Surf (or learn to surf) at Panorama, Devil’s Rock, or Anchor Point, where schools cater to all levels, with secure supervision and guaranteed fun.

• Ride a quad or a buggy towards Tamri to explore dunes, cliffs, and deserted coves.

• Take a horse or a camel at sunset for a long walk on the sand.

• Watch the sunset at Anchor Point, one of the Kingdom’s most famous viewpoints. A guaranteed spectacle!

• Practice yoga sessions with the ocean as your horizon.
