When is the Best time of year to visit Taghazout?
Taghazout is an all-year-round destination with warm temperatures and excellent surfing conditions, making it the perfect winter sun escape.
The best months for surfing are from September to April. During this time, the North Atlantic swells provide consistent waves suitable for all skill levels. Beginners can enjoy small waves, while intermediate and advanced surfers will find larger swells and technical breaks, particularly from December to February. Water temperatures during this season generally range from 18°C to 22°C.
Many surf houses offer discounts for visitors outside the peak surfing season. January is the coolest month, with average daytime temperatures around 20°C and nighttime lows near 11°C, and it is one of our favourite times to visit. Rainfall is minimal, so even in winter, Taghazout offers plenty of sun and surf.
Munga GuestHouse
Located in the heart of Taghazout, Munga Guesthouse is a truly unique and wonderful place to stay. Spread across three buildings, Munga offers 17 spacious rooms, each with its own theme and style, so no two rooms are the same.
The owners spent over a decade designing this one-of-a-kind boutique hotel, making each suite feel like its own masterpiece. During our stay, we had the chance to experience both the Driftwood Room suite and the Africa Magnum suite. Both rooms were wonderful, the balcony of the driftwood room was our favourite, with panoramic ocean views and exuded coastal romance.
Munga is one of the best guesthouses in Taghazout, offering a luxury experience and exceptional hospitality. Each rooftop has a different view of the village, with plenty of space to relax and even cool down in the rooftop pool. There are two restaurants which serve locally sourced dishes, and you can also organise activities such as surfing and yoga.
Rooms typically start at £120 per night, with a minimum stay of three nights. If you want to get the full picture of our time at Munga, read our experience. It is one of our favourite places to stay in Taghazout.
