Best Hostels in Taghazout, Morocco for 2026
Last Updated on 3rd March 2026 by Jessie
A list of my top recommendations for Taghazout hostels, based on popularity, value for money, and how much previous guests have raved about them.
Most people visiting Taghazout are either going to book a surf camp or a hostel. With the exception of those who are a little more financially well-endowed, opting for one of the swankier boutique hotels. There is no shortage of the former in Taghazout; however, the quality varies greatly. To take the guesswork out of it for you, I’ve combed the listings available to bring forth my top recommendations for hostels in Taghazout.
Most hostels in Taghazout include a traditional Moroccan breakfast, and occasionally they offer communal dinners. They often feature spacious rooftop terraces and rooms that capture all of the charm and warmth of Moroccan decor, but with a distinct surf village feel.
For full disclosure, I have not stayed at any of these places. Instead, I have relied on my local knowledge of the area, alongside my traveller’s sixth sense, to sift through Booking.com and HostelWorld and bring forth my top recommendations. Merhaba.

Moroccan Travel Essentials
- First and foremost, get travel insurance with SafetyWing. They’re super affordable and one of the few companies that let you buy insurance mid-trip.
- Book the dreamiest Moroccan abode on Booking.com. They’re my go-to for accomodation because you can save loooaads with their loyalty discounts.
- Or if you’re after the one-stop-shop, BookSurfCamps is the best place to find surf camp packages in Morocco.
- Find the best local tours with GetYourGuide. It’s the easiest way to visit places like Paradise Valley or Timlalin Dunes.
- Make sure you’re connected as soon as you get off the plane with Airalo’s Moroccan eSIM.
- Set up a Wise travel card to save on international transaction fees.
- And if you’re working online (or want to watch Netflix in your downtime) I highly recommend getting set up with a SurfShark VPN.
And you’re sorted.

The Top 7 Hostels in Taghazout
1. Tazuri Surf House – Best Overall
Whilst generally, I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, I don’t extend the same open-mindedness to hostels. I’m all for basing my selection on the immediate feel that you get from the interior photos. And I’m getting a gooood feel for Tazuri Surf House.
It looks great. It’s modern and well-styled, but it’s got that warm, homely quality to it that sets hostels in Taghazout apart from the chain hotels.
But dig below the superficial appeal, and Tazuri Surf House has it all.
The dorm rooms are well-equipped with all the amenities, and guests have access to a shared kitchen plus a coworking space with high-speed internet. Tazuri also offers loads of additional extras, including a communal breakfast, surf and surfskate lessons, art workshops, yoga classes and guided tours around the area.
If I were hunting for hostels in Taghazout, Tazuri Surf House would be at the top of my list.
Dorms from €20/night. Breakfast extra.
2. Azoul Hostel Taghazout – Best Location
The village is super small and compact, so the location of hostels in Taghazout isn’t exactly a deal-breaker. But when you’re travelling to a place that markets itself on its ‘surf hippie vibes’, ideally, you want to situate yourself in and amongst the atmosphere.
Azoul Hostel is just a 2-minute walk from the main street in Taghazout. Stroll one minute further, and you’ll find yourself smack bang on Taghazout Beach. The hostel boasts a cosy and colourful undercover terrace, with primo views of the nearby surf spots. The perfect spot to gasbag with fellow travellers and relish in the essence of your worry-free, Moroccan surf adventure.
The laidback Larry atmosphere resonates throughout the whole of the hostel.
The interior of Azoul Hostel is bright, vibrant and airy. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. And all bookings include a free communal breakfast (of which previous guests rave about) as well as the occasional free dinner.
For all-round surf holiday vibes, Azoul Hostel Taghazout is your answer.
Dorms from €16/night. Breakfast included.
3. Cosy Surf House – Best On a Budget
It’s usually a little risky filtering accommodation by price and opting for the cheapest. But apparently not when it comes to hostels in Taghazout. Dorm rooms at Cosy Surf House start at €10 per night – an absolute steal in this day and age.
And while it’s low-cost, the hospitality you get for your tenner is by no means low quality. Cosy Surf House is clean and modern, with all the creature comforts you could need. They’ve got a well-equipped guest kitchen, speedy wifi, optional brekky and epic rooftop views of all the nearby surf spots.
Cosy Surf House has surfboards and wetsuits available for rent, and they also offer all-inclusive surf and yoga packages at decent prices.
So, whether you’re looking for the all-in-one deal or you’re happy setting out on your own adventure, Cosy Surf House is the perfect budget-friendly spot to base yourself for a surf holiday in Taghazout.
Dorms from €10/night. Breakfast extra.
4. Kekai Surf House – Best Atmosphere
I’ve found that no matter how appealing the photos look online and how good the amenities sound on paper, sometimes you arrive at a hostel to find that the atmosphere just doesn’t hit. At Kekai Surf House in Taghazout, you need not fear.
The staff and volunteers at Kekai are determined to make sure you feel welcome. They are helpful and friendly, and ready to offer all the best local tips and tricks to ensure you get the most out of your time in Taghazout.
Their warm and generous energy bleeds out into the culture of the surf house. Previous guests rave about the sense of community that Kekai Surf House fosters. From the cosy communal kitchen to the comfortable rooftop terrace, the hostel makes connecting with your fellow surf travellers a breeze.
Kekai Surf House has surfboards available for rent in house, plus a large board rack and wetsuit room for those opting to bring their own gear.
So, if you’re looking for a home-away-from-home on Morocco’s surf coast, Kekai Surf House is the place to find it.
Dorms from €13/night.
5. Dar Surf – Best for Learning to Surf
Translating to ‘home of surf’, Dar Surf does what it says on the tin. The surf house is a one-stop shop for your Moroccan surf holiday adventure.
Dar Surf comes equipped with its own surf shop, so you need not traipse around the village looking for board and wetty rentals. They also offer surf and yoga packages that cater to all levels of surfing expertise.
They’re staffed with experienced local surf instructors and an in-house yoga teacher. So if you prefer, you can book a dorm on its own and dip in and out of activities as you please.
As a beginner surfer, Dar Surf guarantees you’ll be in the company of other novices. A good shout for quelling all of your perceived-kook fears.
Dorms from €14/night. Breakfast extra.
6. The Endless House – Best For Surfing Anchor Point
I need to caveat this by reminding everyone that Anchor Point is not for everyone. On a skills level, it’s a technical wave that breaks on a rocky point and requires a bit of a gnarly paddle out. For those who are experienced and competent on such a wave, it still might not be your cup of tea. As Morocco’s most beloved wave, it’s also the most crowded, and the level of localism in the water can get a bit precarious.
Alas, I’m aware many keen surfers travel to Taghazout purely to tick Anchor Point off their list. So, for those of you, The Endless Point is the ideal spot to stay. The hostel is the closest accommodation to the notorious surf break, perched just up above the rocks. Whereas, booking a hostel in town would mean a 15-20 minute walk to the surf.
But even if Anchor Point is not within your purview just yet, it’s also just an epic spot to stay. The front terrace offers some of the best sunset views around, and the hostel itself attracts a laidback surf-adjacent crowd. Kinda nice being out of the thicket of Taghazout village, too.
Dorms from €15 per night.
7. Roof House Hostel – Best for Solo Travellers
In the 60s and 70s, Taghazout was the Moroccan base camp for surf pioneers and travelling hippies. Whilst the town is rapidly transforming into a polished, gentrified, boutique beach holiday destination, the counter-culture roots can still be found. Roof House Hostel is one such place.
It’s not exactly the cliffside cave that backpackers of yore camped in, but it does have that proper trad hostel feel to it. Lavishly decked out in colourful Moroccan decor, it’s got a comfortable, cosy and communal atmosphere.
They host family dinners, surf lessons, day trips to Paradise Valley and jam sessions on the rooftop. If you’re embarking on a solo Moroccan adventure, it’s one of the best spots in Taghazout to guarantee a social, welcoming atmosphere.
Dorms from €19 per night.
Happy travels.
