Best Hostels in Taghazout, Morocco
Last Updated on 21st July 2025 by Jessie
Looking for the best hostels in Taghazout? Whether you’re chasing waves or a social vibe, this guide highlights top-rated, affordable places to stay.
As a solo traveller, hostels are one of the best way to save a buck. They also provide the perfect opportunity to connect with like-minded travelers. With plenty of quality budget stays to choose from in Taghazout, you won’t be disappointed.
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. To make your hostel hunt a little easier, I’ve curated this list of my top 5 favourites.
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 comb Booking.com and bring forth my top recommendations. Merhaba.
I use affiliate links throughout my posts. This means that if you make a purchase through any of the links, I’ll get paid a small percentage – with no additional cost to you. I appreciate any and all support to keep me afloat so I can continue bringing honest, accurate travel tips to you.
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.
Top 5 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.
