If you are planning more than two weeks in Taghazout, the short-stay booking platform model starts to work against you. Per-night rates on Airbnb and Booking.com are calibrated for short visits. Monthly apartments negotiated directly with landlords, or a coliving space with the setup done for you, are both significantly better value and more practical for working life.
Here is what is available, what it costs, and how to find it.
Dedicated Coliving Spaces
SunDesk (Taghazout)
SunDesk is the closest thing to a classic coliving setup in Taghazout. It operates as both a coworking space and an accommodation provider, with rooms available on a nightly and weekly basis alongside the coworking membership. The combination means you get fast internet (200+ Mbps fibre), a community of like-minded nomads, and no friction between where you sleep and where you work.
Location: Taghazout village, ocean views. sun-desk.com
CoworkSurf (Taghazout)
CoworkSurf runs a similar model: surf-oriented coworking and coliving in one building. The surf-and-work proposition is explicit here. Surfboard storage, connections to local surf schools, and a full-floor coworking space with 200 Mbps fibre are part of the setup. Suitable for nomads who want a structured community rather than a standalone apartment. coworksurf.com
Kasbari (Tamraght)
Kasbari is primarily a coworking space rather than a coliving space, but it sits at the centre of a community of nomads and long-stay travellers in Tamraght. The team can help point you toward local accommodation options. Day passes run 50 MAD for half a day or 80 MAD for a full day; weekly and monthly rates reduce this meaningfully for regular users. kasbari.com
See the co-working cafes and spaces guide for more detail on each space’s facilities, wifi speeds, and working atmosphere.
Monthly Apartment Rentals
For stays of one month or longer, renting a self-catering apartment directly from a landlord is typically the best value. The stock of apartments in Taghazout and Tamraght has grown as the nomad population has grown, and landlords are accustomed to monthly tenants.

What to Budget
| Type | Location | Estimated Monthly Rate (MAD) | Approximate EUR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio, private | Taghazout | 4,500 to 6,500 | EUR 410 to 590 |
| Studio, private | Tamraght | 3,500 to 5,500 | EUR 320 to 500 |
| 1-bed apartment, sea view | Taghazout | 6,000 to 10,000 | EUR 545 to 910 |
| 1-bed apartment | Tamraght | 5,000 to 8,000 | EUR 455 to 730 |
| Shared apartment (per room) | Both villages | 2,500 to 4,000 | EUR 230 to 365 |
Rates vary by season. October to January commands peak prices; March to May is quieter and more negotiable. Tamraght consistently runs 15 to 20% below Taghazout for equivalent properties.
How to Find an Apartment
In person on arrival: The most reliable method. Walk the main streets of Taghazout or Tamraght, ask at cafes and surf shops, and check noticeboards. Landlords who rent to nomads often operate through word of mouth rather than online listings. Two to three days of in-person search usually produces good options.
Facebook groups: Search for “Taghazout digital nomads” or “Morocco surf accommodation” on Facebook. Several groups exist where landlords post directly and nomads share leads. These are more active from October to March.
Your accommodation: If you book a guesthouse or hostel for the first few nights, ask the staff. Hosts who see nomads regularly often have connections to local landlords or know which apartments are available.
Booking platforms: Airbnb lists some monthly-rental properties in both villages. Rates are generally higher than direct negotiation, but the platform gives security and a paper trail, which some nomads prefer.
What to Check Before Signing
Before committing to a monthly apartment:
- Internet: Ask for a speed test result or test it yourself with your phone. Many apartments use a shared fibre connection to the building; speeds vary by time of day. If video calls are central to your work, a backup mobile data plan is essential.
- Power sockets: European-style two-pin (Type C/E) throughout Morocco. UK and US travellers need adaptors.
- Hot water: Ask specifically about this. Not all properties have consistent hot water, particularly in budget studios.
- Kitchen: Confirm what appliances and utensils are included if self-catering matters to you.
- Check-out flexibility: Monthly tenants often have more flexibility on this than short-stay guests. Negotiate if you need it.
Surf Camps With Long-Stay Options
Several surf camps in Taghazout accept bookings for two weeks to a month. These are all-inclusive by design: accommodation, meals, and surf lessons are bundled together. The model suits nomads who want to focus on surf and surfing improvement and do not want to think about food or internet setup.
Weekly rates for surf camps run EUR 360 to 500 in a shared room and EUR 550 to 800 in a single room, inclusive of accommodation, meals, and lessons. Most camps have wifi that is adequate for email and light work; dedicated coworking is not typically part of the offering.
If you need a dedicated work setup alongside the camp experience, SunDesk or CoworkSurf let you buy day passes without staying with them.
Connectivity for Long Stays
For any stay beyond two weeks, a local SIM is more cost-effective than an eSIM. Maroc Telecom offers a 30GB data bundle for 150 MAD per month, which covers messaging, browsing, and occasional video calls. For your first day in Morocco before you reach a phone shop, an Airalo eSIM for Morocco is the cleanest option: buy before departure, activate on landing.
For reliable video conferencing, use the wifi at a dedicated coworking space rather than apartment internet. Apartment connections vary too much to build a work schedule around.
Insurance for Longer Stays
Standard travel insurance policies often cap at 30 days or exclude surf and adventure activities. For a one-to-three month stay in Taghazout, make sure your cover explicitly includes surf and extends to your full stay length. VisitorsCoverage travel insurance covers adventure sports and extended stays in Morocco.
Accommodation for the First Few Nights
If you arrive without a long-term arrangement, book two or three nights at a guesthouse or hostel first. This gives you a base to search from, ask locally, and visit properties in person before committing. The Taghazout where-to-stay guide covers short-stay options across all price ranges.
