LIVE / SURF & WEATHER

Today on the coast.

The waves at the spots near the houses and the weather at each house, read live from NOAA and MET Norway; the tide and the sun are computed for Taghazout.

Waves: NOAA WaveWatch III via PacIOOS. Weather and wind: Data from MET Norway (CC BY 4.0). Sea temperature: NOAA Coral Reef Watch. Tide and sun: computed for Taghazout. Forecasts are models and the heights at the spots are estimates: our coaches decide on the day.

Every day, usually within the day.

  1. 01

    Build it above, or just tell us your dates and what you have in mind. It arrives on WhatsApp with every line and the total, so you both start from the same page.

  2. 02

    We confirm

    We check the house, the lessons, the trips and the car for your dates and answer the same day, with your final quote. If something is full, we say so and offer the nearest alternative.

  3. 03

    Hold your dates

    A 30% deposit by bank transfer holds the room; the rest is paid at the house, in cash or by transfer. You receive a written confirmation with the address, the check-in time and a phone number that answers.

    Arrive

    If you booked the transfer, we are at Agadir airport with your name on a sign. Otherwise we send the way to the door and meet you there. Check-in from 14:00, breakfast from 8:00, the ocean whenever you like.

The price you see

Your quote covers everything in your plan. No booking fees, no surprise at the door, and a car from our own company.

04 / YOUR QUESTIONS

What people ask before they write.

The short answers. For anything else, the WhatsApp button is one tap away.

Ask something else
How do I book, and do I pay online?

You send your plan on WhatsApp (the builder above writes it for you). Our team confirms availability and your final quote, then a 30% deposit by bank transfer holds the room and the rest is paid at the house. Nothing is paid online.

What is included in the room price?

Breakfast every morning, bed linen and towels, hot showers, fast Wi-Fi in every room, the use of the kitchen and the terraces, and a key for the night. A bed in the shared room is 200 MAD a night at Moonlight in Taghazout and 180 MAD at Blue Whale in Tamraght; a private double, for one or two, 400 MAD at Moonlight and 350 MAD at Blue Whale.

Moonlight or Blue Whale: which house is for me?

Moonlight, in Taghazout, hangs over the ocean in the old village, two minutes from the beach and a walk from Anchor Point: the house for couples and surfers who want the village at their feet. Blue Whale, in Tamraght, is the quieter one, about fifteen minutes on foot above the beginner beaches, with two sunset terraces and a shared room: the house for first waves, groups and families. They are five minutes apart and the plan works the same from either.

I have never surfed. Can I learn here?

Yes, and this is one of the best coasts in the world for it. A surf school day is two hours in the water with a coach, board and wetsuit included, on sandy beaches that work on small swell, then lunch on the beach and a supervised afternoon of free surf; most people stand up on the first morning. 500 MAD a day in Tamraght, 560 MAD in Taghazout; a private two-hour lesson, one to one, costs more: 600 MAD in Tamraght, 700 MAD in Taghazout.

How do I get there from Agadir airport?

Add the transfer to your plan: 300 MAD per car of up to four, each way, and we wait for you at arrivals whatever time you land; 40 to 45 minutes to the house. A taxi from the airport costs about the same once you have negotiated it; the bus takes two changes and most of an afternoon.

When is the best time to come?

For waves, October to April, with the biggest swells from December to February. For warm water, small surf and quiet villages, May to September. The sun is reliable all year; winter evenings on the roof want a jumper.

Can we come as a family or a group?

Yes. Doubles take two, some a third bed; the shared room sleeps six; and the "Who sleeps where" card in the builder lets a group mix rooms. Add the children and their ages in the builder, so we know which lessons and rides suit them. Six travellers or more get 10% off the whole plan. The beaches of Tamraght are gentle for children, and the quad, the dunes and Paradise Valley are days they will remember.

Do I need a car?

Not for the beaches: from both houses you walk. For the points north of Taghazout, the day trips and the souk, a car makes everything easier, and Hilal Luxury Cars is our own company: insurance included, delivered to the house, added to your plan from 300 MAD a day. The trips in the builder come with their own transport if you prefer not to drive.

Can I work from the house?

Yes. Fast Wi-Fi in every room and on the terraces, a quiet salon in the afternoon, and the villages have cafés that live on laptops. The time difference with Europe is zero or one hour.

Is Taghazout a party place?

It is a village. Evenings are sunsets on the roofs, dinners that run late, music nights in a few houses, and alcohol is rare and discreet. The bars and clubs are in Agadir, 25 minutes away; the marina has the best of them.

What if I have to change or cancel?

Cancellation is free up to 14 days before arrival, and the deposit comes back in full. Closer to the date, we move your dates whenever the house allows and the deposit moves with you. Your plan in the builder shows the exact date for your stay.

Can I book an activity without staying with you?

Yes. Choose “Activities only” in the builder: the plan then holds just the lessons, trips and transport you pick, and our team confirms them the same way.

Do you speak English and French?

Yes, and Arabic and Tamazight. Everything on this site exists in English and French, and the WhatsApp answers in whichever you write.

06 / STAY & DRIVE

The coast is yours with a car.

Hilal Luxury Cars is our own rental company in Agadir. Twelve cars, cheapest first, each delivered to the house or the airport and added to your plan with one tap.

Everything about the cars

The waves move with the tide

The best spot changes every few hours, and the points north of Taghazout are a drive, not a walk.

The day trips are yours

Paradise Valley, the dunes, Imsouane, the souk: all within an hour, none served by a useful bus.

From the airport to the house

Pick it up at Al Massira or find it outside the house. Insurance included; no deposit with the full-coverage option.

  • Boards, bags and a long road: the Dacia Logan, diesel, with the biggest boot of the small cars.
  • Five people and luggage: the Kia Sportage. The drive as the memory: the Porsche Macan.
