Taghazout Bay, a coastal destination in Morocco, is undergoing a significant development phase in 2026, adding 4,800 beds and a diversified residential offering to extend the tourist season beyond the traditional surfing months. The project, part of the broader 'Plan Azur' initiative, aims to boost year-round tourism by enhancing infrastructure and amenities.
According to official reports from the Moroccan Agency for Tourism Development (SMIT), the development includes new hotels, apartments, and villas designed to attract families and business travelers, not just surfers. The goal is to increase occupancy rates during the off-peak season, leveraging the area's natural beauty and Atlantic coastline.
Local authorities have confirmed that the project is on track, with several new resorts already operational. The extended season is expected to create jobs and stimulate the local economy, with a focus on sustainable tourism practices. No specific statistics on visitor numbers or economic impact were available as of July 2026.
