“Forget the hustle and bustle of overwhelming Marrakesh… there’s a new kid on the Moroccan block.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Taghazout\"<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for laidback vibes, blissful paradise and world class surf, Taghazout<\/strong> should be the only name on your lips. Once a simple fishing village, this little gem on Morocco’s Atlantic coast<\/strong> is sure to be your new favourite nirvana. Here’s why.<\/p>\n

Surfing<\/strong>
\n———–<\/p>\n

\"Surf\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If there’s one thing that Taghazout<\/strong> is known for, it’s surfing. And when we say ‘known’, we mean world renowned<\/em>, with an intrinsic love for the sport running in the very veins of the town.<\/p>\n

A favourite with the locals, Anchor Point<\/strong> is the place to head to satisfy your surf desires – along with both Killer<\/strong> and Boiler Point<\/strong> – with September to May boasting the best waves. For beginners, there’s an absolute ton of surf camps to get you going, with Surf Maroc<\/strong> considered the cream of the crop. Image source<\/a><\/p>\n

Yoga<\/strong>
\n——–<\/p>\n

\"yoga\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other speciality that burns with a fiery popularity in Taghazout<\/strong> is yoga. Whether this is because the practice helps with surf technique or whether it’s because yoga simply fits so well with the hedonistically tranquil lifestyle of Taghazout<\/strong> is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s for sure: from sunrise to sunset, you’ll find yogis practicing their downward dog to the soundtrack of gently lapping waves along the seashore.<\/p>\n

If you want to follow suit, there are plenty of classes on offer – try Surf Berbere Yoga<\/strong>. Image source<\/a><\/p>\n

Food<\/strong>
\n——–<\/p>\n

\"Food\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, one of the many draws of Morocco is its cuisine – and Taghazout is no exception. Where better to enjoy a classic Moroccan tagine than overlooking the warm sands as the sun goes down?<\/p>\n

Head to L’Auberge<\/strong> for a delicious traditional meal and a delightful atmosphere or Dar Josephine<\/strong> to experience the French influence on Moroccan gastronomy for yourself. You’ll also find a plethora of seafood sold daily, fresh from the seashore. Image source<\/a><\/p>\n

Paradise Valley<\/strong>
\n——————-<\/p>\n

\"Paradise<\/a><\/p>\n

If you happen across a day in Taghazout when the surf is flat, never fear. Just a few miles north is Paradise Valley<\/strong>, an off-the-beaten-track utopia more than worthy of a day trip. A deep gorge lined with palm trees with a river snaking along the bottom, Paradise Valley<\/strong> is a little slice of lusciousness hidden beneath the Moroccan dust.<\/p>\n

Spend your day ambling along the unpaved trails and cooling yourself off in one of the many waterfalls. Image source<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s not much more to it than that. But hey, that’s the point. And life doesn’t get much more chilled out than in Taghazout.<\/p>\n

Getting there: Taghazout is a 40 minutes bus ride from the nearest airport in Agadir<\/a> or 3 hours from Marrakesh.<\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
