The Munga Guesthouse is located in the heart of Taghazout and was started by a couple who worked on the place for over 10 years where they poured their heart and soul into every room.
A slice of paradise, Munga is an oasis amongst its arid surroundings, boasting one of the only hotels in Taghazout with a rooftop pool. A beautiful boutique guesthouse, Munga is full of wonderful artefacts from around Morocco and the world, it is comprised of 3 main buildings and a total of 17 rooms, grouped into mini-suites, suites and the magnificent magnum suites.

There are multiple rooftops, set out over the the 3 main buildings, one with the main reception has a small, shallow rooftop pool with a bar area. In the main building, the restaurant serves food throughout the day, with the option of traditional and international dishes, the sexy beast burger and chicken noodles are great choices - they serve draught beer and other alcoholic drinks. In the evenings on cold nights enjoy the warmth of a roaring fire in the lounge area by reception.
If you are staying in the mini-suite building, this is the next street along from the main building which has a rooftop which leads you to Favella restaurant, which has been awarded one of the best restaurants in Morocco in 2024.
There is a set menu or a la carte choices with great views for sunset. In the mornings this is where breakfast is served, on the rooftop terrace with ocean views. There is a delicious selection of freshly cooked mesmen, fruit juices, freshly cooked eggs, pancakes, fruit, pastries, bread, amazing strawberry jam, amlou (almond butter, honey and argan oil) and cereal.

Follow the stairs to the left for access to the rooftop, you’ll pass vibrant coloured rugs and this rooftop probably has one of the best views of Taghazout. There is plenty of space to lounge, sunbathe and relax with a beautiful outdoor shower to cool down. Fishermen nets provide shelter from the sun and are somewhere you could easily spend the whole day relaxing.

Lights are made from upcycled olive press, balconies are made from tree trunks held by cast-iron fixtures. It is also a pet-friendly hotel which always makes us happy that you don’t have to leave your pets at home and can experience the magic of Munga with you.
During our time at Munga Guesthouse, we stayed in both a suite and a magnum suite which gave us an in-depth experience of what to expect during our stay. We stayed in both the Driftwood Room suite and the Africa Magnum suite which are some of the best rooms you can choose at Munga.
Driftwood Room
A large comfy elevated bed, two driftwood chandeliers with plenty of natural light from the large windows and a giant piece of driftwood that stands in the centre of the room in front of the bed.
The driftwood room has generous areas for storage with a safe and hanging space. The lounge area with chairs overlooking the balcony. The picture-perfect balcony invites you to views of the Atlantic Ocean with two wooden chairs and a lovely cosy spot, where you can chill in the afternoon with a book and snack.
There is a minibar, which comes fully stocked with alcoholic drinks and complementary dates, oranges and dried fruit. The en-suite bathroom is a showstopper, featuring a rainfall shower, taps made of shells beautiful tiles and windows framing a sea view.
Africa Room
As one of the few magnum suites, the Africa room is something special and unique. Before you enter the room, you have a private terrace area with cosy cushions. As you enter the large intricately carved wooden door, there is a large bathroom which has a corner shower and sink made of beautiful stone.
The bedroom carries the ‘Africa’ theme, with elements of handcrafts, artwork, African wildlife and a feast for the senses. The bed is set within an enclave, making it extra cosy and private facing a fireplace. The room also has a mezzanine, with a den-like feel where another two people can sleep. A set of two floor-to-ceiling windows leads you to a small balcony overlooking the beach and village streets.
Outside of the bedrooms, there is a generous seating area which is set around a central fireplace and one of the most beautiful grand Moroccan lamps. This area overlooks the enormous cacti trees reaching for the skies. Large wooden beams run across the ceiling and a final wooden door leads you to the piece de resistance of this suite.
As you walk through the large wooden door, a stunning Moroccan rug leads you to the most beautiful space with a covered balcony, adored with neutral hessian curtains, and lovely unobstructed 180-degree sea views which makes it a wonderful spot to enjoy sunrise and sunset.
