Features
Located just steps away from the best surf spots in Morocco, Azul Guesthouse is your new, extraordinary “Home away from home” in Taghazout bay, a spacious welcoming guest house that offers budget accommodation with many services. We offer a friendly and great ambiance, good food, cozy areas for chill out and a great atmosphere. We pride ourselves in providing affordable, comfortable accommodation and many of our guests return regularly.
The views from Azul Guesthouse’s terrace are generally agreed to be stunning. Overlooking the entire Bay of Taghazout. From the comfort of a moroccan armchair one can begin to enjoy beautiful panoramic viewpoints and appreciate beautiful sunsets. At Azul Guesthouse you will make discoveries and an unforgettable stay.
We’re a Berber family born and bred in Tamraght Village. We’ve always lived and worked close to in and on, the Atlantic Ocean. It’s our pleasure to share our beach house, our friends and beautiful Moroccan coastline with you.
At Azul Guesthouse we cook authentic homemade Moroccan cuisine made from natural local products from the area. In our dishes you will find tastes, fragrances and flavours of traditional Moroccan food, made with love and passion. We are able to offer alternative dishes for vegetarians, and prepare special menu for any guests with dietary requirements. We’re well-known for our delicious Moroccan-style family feasts served on our beautiful colourful roof terrace, complete with 360 degree views over Tamraght and Taghazout Bay.
Our menu changes throughout the year and is based on seasonal produce and availability from local suppliers. Living a few metres from the ocean, fresh fish is often a favourite, sometimes the catch of the day is courtesy of the guesthouse owner, Bouhcine, a keen fisherman. We’re happiest when our table is full of home-cooked tagines, couscous dishes and Moroccan-inspired salads. Wholesome and colourful meals, the perfect accompaniment to a long day of play in the waves!
We have a number of packages for you to choose from depending on your specific interests and level of experience of both surf and yoga. Our packages offer extra value for clients, and the ease of everything being pre-booked and pre-paid via PayPal.

BANANA POINT
Surf Level: All levels
Beach tucked between the usually dry Tamraght rivermouth and rocks offering some northerly wind protection. A long easy right can break from the point, otherwise it’s a beginners beach break, which explains the surf schools in the village.
SPIDER’S
Surf Level: Experienced
A very shallow and powerful reef break that’s only suitable for experienced surfers due to the large, hollow waves that often break into rideable tubes.
ANCHOR POINT
Surf Level: Intermediate and experienced
Long NW swells that reach from 3ft to 15ft have earned Anchor Point the title of a world-class surf break. First surfed in the 1960s, since then it has become one of Morocco’s favourite surf spots. It’s easiest to come in at one of the coves and walk back to jump off at the end between sets. Works on all but high tides, unless it’s huge, which is when it may be possible to ride back to Taghazout. It’s worth visiting, even if just to observe the way the wave breaks.
PANORAMA’S
Surf Level: All levels
Most popular amongst long boarders and beginners. Long sweeping right hander, easier than Anchor Point but the current can tricky to paddle against. Panorama’s also offers great waves for intermediate surfers once the wave hits 5ft. When the wave is this high, beginners should be cautious as the shore break can be tough when the swell is large. Panorama’s can often offer longer rides than its neighbouring breaks.
ANZA
Surf Level: All Levels
A 10-minute drive south from us, on the outskirts of Agadir. This awesome spot has a peaky, steep left which sits on a reef, and a mellower, pealing right on the sand. The middle section works too so there’s loads of space for everyone. It works best at high-tide. This beach is also perfect for beginners, there is a large beach break where you can surf in the white water and if there is not so much of swell you can practice to take open waves. A few cafes and restaurants nearby.
TAMRI
Surf Level: All levels
It is 45 minutes by car north from Azul Guesthouse, a consistent beach break. Strong currents. This is usually the place to go when the spots around Tamraght and Taghazout are flat. Quick back sections pay privilege to an even more constant beach push, strong currents at times but a fun ride all the same. For beginners just be aware how far you have drifted down the coast. The estuary is home to camels and flamingos, a truly beautiful spot. For more experienced surfers, there is normally a great left hander off the sand bank in front of the cliff.
IMSOUANE – THE BAY
Surf Level: All levels
Imsouane is a pretty little fishing village. Known for its long waves, the view of The Bay from above shows beautiful regular right-handers that take you from one end of the bay to the other. One of the longest rides in Africa, you can ride the wave for 600m. Improvers can enjoy a long whitewash down the front to perfect their pop-up. Best time to get in is mid-low tide when the waves are at 1.5m high for big, strong and long regular waves.
IMSOUANE – CATHEDRAL
Surf Level: All levels
Positioned on the other side of the bay, Cathedral delivers surfers beach, reef and point breaks with strong waves for all surfers! The point break is the more intermediate spot popular with short and bodyboarders. This break delivers fast, powerful right-hand waves, especially with an east offshore wind. Low tides can bring in steep peaks and barrels, with 1.5m waves being the sweetest to shred.
The beach break, on the other hand, can be great for both improvers and beginners with both left and right waves from multiple peaks. Performing best at high tide with 1m waves, this sandy bottom break gives powerful waves that are great for all surf levels and boards.
