04 / YOUR QUESTIONS
What people ask before they write.
The short answers. For anything else, the WhatsApp button is one tap away.
Ask something elseHow 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.
01
Surfing in Taghazout and Tamraght
Surf school days or private two-hour lessons on the beaches of Tamraght and Taghazout, board and wetsuit included. From first pop-up to your first real point break, with a coach who reads the tide for you.
02
Yoga on the rooftops of Tamraght and Taghazout
One-hour sessions on our terraces at sunrise or sunset, for surfers who need to stretch and for everyone who came to slow down. Gentle flow in the morning, deep stretches in the evening.
03
Quad rides between the beach and the argan hills
Ninety minutes along the beach and the dry river bed, or a half day into the argan hills with mint tea in a village on the way. Guided, helmets on, no licence needed.
04
Paradise Valley: palm gorges and natural pools an hour inland
The gorge of palm trees and natural pools in the hills behind Aourir, with transport and a guide. A walk down to the water, a swim when the pools are full, a tagine in the valley.
05
Agadir and Souk El Had: the biggest market in Morocco, with a guide
A guided day in the city: Souk El Had, the largest market in Morocco, then the kasbah above the bay by cable car and the marina. Saturdays and Sundays, with transport from the house.
06
The Timlaline dunes at sunset: sand, ocean and a board
Golden dunes that run straight into the ocean, forty minutes north. Sandboarding down the slopes, a glass of tea on the sand, and the sunset from the top, with transport from the house.
07
The hammam: the Moroccan bath, explained
The Moroccan bath, booked for you in the village: steam, black soap, the kessa scrub and ghassoul clay. The best cure for surf shoulders and the end of a week in the sun.
08
And the house itself
Every day here starts and ends on a roof: breakfast over the waves at Moonlight, chess and a tagine at sunset at Blue Whale. The houses are the experience the others hang on.
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 carsThe 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.

300 MAD/ day
City car03Dacia Sandero

Saloon04Dacia Logan

320 MAD/ day
City car05Renault Clio 5
or similarThe one most guests take
Comfortable, automatic, recent, and there are several of them, so it is usually available. The default for a week on the coast.
320 MAD/ day
City car06Peugeot 208
or similarThe stylish small car
A step up in finish from the Clio for the same money: nicer inside, lively on the Imouzzer bends.
320 MAD/ day

For the airport run and the long straight roads south to Tiznit and Legzira. Air conditioning that keeps up with August.

Between a city car and a family car: boards inside with the seats down, four adults without complaint.
350 MAD/ day

A compact SUV with real ground clearance: the one for the dunes, Paradise Valley, the Imsouane track and the dirt road down to a spot nobody else is surfing.
400 MAD/ day
SUV10Kia Sportage
or similarThe family SUV
Five people and their luggage, a big diesel range, and the comfort for the Anti-Atlas day trips. The family car for a week of everything.
660 MAD/ day
SUV11Volkswagen Touareg
or similarThe big, quiet one
A large premium SUV for a group that wants space and calm, from the airport to the dunes without noticing the road.
1,300 MAD/ day
SUV12Porsche Macan
or similarBecause you can
The top of the Hilal Luxury Cars collection: a sports SUV for the week you want to remember the drive as much as the waves.
1,850 MAD/ day
Which one?
- Most of the time: the Renault Clio 5 or the Dacia Sandero. Automatic, recent, cheap, several of each.
- If you will drive a lot, or want to sit high: the Renault Kardian. Ground clearance for the dunes, the valley road and the dirt track to a quiet spot.
- 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.
Prices per day as published by Hilal Luxury Cars; the exact quote for your dates comes with your plan. Insurance included, zero deposit with the full-coverage option (50 MAD a day), free delivery in Agadir, Taghazout and Tamraght, WhatsApp around the clock.
