Tamraght is 3 kilometres south of Taghazout along the Atlantic coast road. It has the same swell access, the same winter swells, and the same surf schools - at prices that run 15–25% lower than equivalent Taghazout accommodation. That gap makes a material difference on a week-long trip, and a very significant one on a month-long stay.

The village is bigger than Taghazout in area, less compressed, and considerably less touristy in atmosphere. Most long-stay surfers and digital nomads end up here - drawn initially by the lower prices and staying for the quieter daily rhythm. Search hotels and guesthouses in Tamraght on Booking.com

Types of Accommodation in Tamraght

Budget Guesthouses

The majority of Tamraght’s budget accommodation is family-run - simple rooms with shared or private bathrooms, a Moroccan breakfast of bread, olive oil, jam and mint tea, and a roof terrace for the afternoon. These places are rarely on booking platforms; availability is typically handled by phone or WhatsApp, with prices established by negotiation for longer stays.

Expect 150–220 MAD per night for a basic private room, 100–160 MAD for shared accommodation. Standards vary - read recent reviews on Google before committing. The best budget guesthouses in Tamraght are consistently booked up by regulars during peak surf season (November–January) and should be reserved 4–6 weeks ahead.

Mid-Range Guesthouses

Casa Naima is one of the most consistently recommended options in lower Tamraght. Four private rooms, shared rooftop terrace with sea views, and a daily Moroccan breakfast from approximately 250–350 MAD per night. The family running it has hosted surfers for years and knows the local breaks well - useful for surf guidance that goes beyond what a school will tell you.

Dar L’Oussia is slightly larger with a small garden and a working kitchen that guests can use. Popular with digital nomads on extended stays. Weekly rates start from around 1,400 MAD - among the best-value options in the area for anyone staying more than a few days.

Both properties operate primarily on direct-booking basis. Ask at local cafes for current availability if online searches come up empty.

Boutique Option: Riad Tamraght

Riad Tamraght is the most polished accommodation in the village: a courtyard riad with a small plunge pool, traditional Moroccan tile work, and en-suite rooms. Rates run from approximately 800–1,200 MAD per night including breakfast. For the price, it compares well against similar boutique riads in Taghazout. Bookable on Booking.com; worth booking 3–4 weeks ahead during peak surf season.

Surf Camps

Two established surf camps operate out of Tamraght:

Endless Wave Morocco - all-inclusive week packages from approximately €470 per person, including accommodation, meals, and daily group lessons with a maximum of 4 students per ISA-certified instructor. Day sessions available separately at around 300 MAD for a 2-hour group.

Melo Surf and Yoga - week packages from €500–600 combining daily surf lessons with twice-daily yoga (sunrise and sunset). Attracts a slightly older demographic than standard beginner camps; the yoga programme is a genuine part of the week, not an afterthought.

Both camps are smaller operations than the larger Taghazout surf camp market, which is either a selling point (more personal) or a limitation (fewer facilities) depending on what you’re after.

Self-Catering Apartments

Tamraght has more apartment-style accommodation than Taghazout village - a reflection of its longer-stay demographic. Studios and one-bedroom apartments with kitchens run 350–600 MAD per night; weekly and monthly rates are significantly better. If you’re staying 2+ weeks and want to cook some of your own meals to manage daily costs, Tamraght’s apartment stock is the best option in the area. Most are let directly or through Facebook groups rather than official platforms.

The Tamraght Surf

Devil’s Rock is the local break - a sandy-bottomed beach break right on the Tamraght seafront that’s appropriate for beginners to intermediates. It’s checkable from the road above before you paddle out. For the Taghazout breaks (Hash Point, Anchor Point, Panoramas), it’s a 20–25-minute walk north along the coast path, or a quick grand taxi for around 10 MAD. Surf lessons in Tamraght and Taghazout operate across both villages with transport included.

Booking Tips

Book direct for guesthouses. The small family-run places in Tamraght rarely have platform listings and those that do often price better by WhatsApp. A message in French or Darija (Moroccan Arabic) generally gets a faster, friendlier response.

Compare weekly rates. Most guesthouses and apartments offer noticeably better weekly pricing - typically 15–25% off the nightly rate for stays of 5+ nights.

Sort insurance before you fly. Travel insurance for Morocco is worth arranging before the trip - medical evacuation from the coast is expensive without it.

Get a data SIM or eSIM. Mobile signal in Tamraght is reasonable but not as reliable as Taghazout. An eSIM for Morocco activated before you leave avoids the airport queues.

Seasonal Booking Windows

SeasonTypical booking window
November–January (peak surf)4–8 weeks ahead for surf camps; 3–4 weeks for guesthouses
March–May (spring swell)2–4 weeks ahead
June–August (summer low swell)1–2 weeks; often bookable on arrival
September–October (shoulder)2–3 weeks ahead

Getting to Tamraght

From Agadir: grand taxi to Taghazout and walk/taxi the final 2 km south, or a direct grand taxi to Tamraght (specify at the Agadir taxi rank). From Agadir Airport, pre-booked airport transfers cover Tamraght as a drop-off point and take approximately 25–30 minutes.
