THE BLUE FACADE
You can’t miss it
Two floors of white and deep blue in a quiet lane, a bench by the door, pots of flowers in the corners. Surfboards lean here between sessions; the beach is a short walk downhill.

THE BLUE HOUSE · TAMRAGHT
Blue Whale, a surf guesthouse in Tamraght with two sunset terraces
ⵜⵉⵣⵎⴳⵜ ⵜⴰⵣⴳⵣⴰⵡⵜBlue Whale, in Tamazight.
Tamraght · Sunsets on the roof, the sea down the lane.
Painted the blue of the Atlantic, Blue Whale sits in the lanes of Tamraght with the sea a few minutes down the hill. Mornings start with coffee on the roof terrace; evenings end up there too, with the sunset, a tagine and a game of chess.
FROM OUTSIDE
The house, from the lane
to the roof.
THE ROOF TERRACE
Where every evening ends
The upper terrace faces west. Low wooden benches, Berber cushions, a clay brazier for the cool nights, and the whole sky turning orange over the rooftops. Dinner is served up here whenever the weather allows, which is most of the year.

THE VIEW
The ocean through the pine
From the roof the village steps down to the Atlantic. On clear days you count the surfers on the point; at sunset the water goes copper and the muezzin and the gulls take turns.
THE GOLDEN HOUR
Chess at sunset
Around seven the light turns and the terrace fills: a chessboard comes out, someone makes tea, the surfers come back up the lane with wet hair and stories. This is the hour the house is built for.
NIGHTS
Full moon over Tamraght
Lanterns, a board game, mint tea with too much sugar. The terrace at night is the part guests talk about most when they get home.
LIFE AT BLUE WHALE
What the house gives you, every day of your stay.

The beach down the lane
A short walk downhill to the sand, with Devil’s Rock and Banana Beach next door for the lessons.
Hot water, Wi-Fi, laundry
Hot showers around the clock, fast Wi-Fi in every room, a washing machine for the wetsuits and the rest.
Sunsets and chess
