SunDesk is a coworking and coliving community located in the sunny surf village of Taghazout, Morocco. The space combines focused work with relaxation, travel & adventure, providing students, entrepreneurs, and professionals the opportunity to travel and work while maintaining productivity in a tranquil setting.
Several guests stayed 1–3 months, with one guest doing a 3-month stay and another a 2-month stay. Multiple guests returned for second and third visits and had already rebooked future stays.
Multiple guests describe concrete social interactions: going out together after work, surfing together, sharing meals on the terrace, and taking home new friendships.
Several guests used family language to describe the community, referencing a sense of belonging and spontaneous integration with fellow colivers.
At least one review states that guests routinely ended up extending their stays as long as possible, suggesting a pull toward longer community immersion.
A small number of reviews reference stays of 10 days to 2 weeks, consistent with the minimum stay policy. These are on the shorter end for deep community formation.
Several reviews describe the atmosphere or the office as "quiet," and "quiet" appears as a hotel highlight in multiple responses. This points to moderate rather than high social energy.
Staff members Manale, Zineb/Zina, Nadia, and owner Magda are named across dozens of reviews. Multiple reviewers describe staff as physically on-site and personally engaged with guests.
Daily communal breakfast on the rooftop, lunches four times per week, and a Tuesday BBQ are consistently mentioned across years as structured gathering points where staff and guests eat together.
Guests are added to a WhatsApp group to organize trips and activities with each other, with staff assistance for logistics when needed.
Several reviews describe staff as actively shaping the community atmosphere rather than simply providing services, with guests noting that other residents seem to follow the tone staff set.
The property operates without a dedicated community manager by deliberate design, relying on meals and self-organized activities for connection. One reviewer found this insufficient.
The rooftop terraces with ocean views are consistently described as the central social space. Daily communal breakfast is served there, making it the main full-house gathering point.
Reviewers describe distinct spaces: an indoor coworking area, an outdoor terrace for working or relaxing, a private Skype room, kitchens, and a living area across two buildings.
The property spans two buildings: the main house and a second house (Blue House) located closer to the beach. Guests in the Blue House may have a physically separate experience from those in the main building.
Consistently praised as fast and stable across many reviews spanning several years. One reviewer noted the wifi in their beachfront room was even faster than the office. No recurring complaints about drops or instability.
Indoor coworking area with ergonomic chairs and multiple terrace floors offering sunny and shady spots. Additional monitors available on request. One review specifically called out the ergonomic chairs.
Residents have around-the-clock access to the coworking space, while day-pass users are limited to 8AM–7PM per the property's own information. Several long-stay guests worked without mentioning access restrictions.
There is one bookable private Skype room. Guests with frequent video calls have flagged it as limiting, as it requires advance reservation and can be unavailable during busy periods. The open terrace serves as an informal alternative for less sensitive calls.
Daily breakfast is included and extensively praised. Optional lunches (traditional Moroccan dishes, ~5€) and weekly BBQs are available several times per week. The food is homemade and described as among the best in the area.
Reviews refer to a kitchenette for making tea, coffee, and simple meals rather than a full kitchen. The high-tier apartment option has a full kitchen. No reviews mention cooking together as a communal activity.
Multiple reviews note easy access to restaurants, markets, and eateries within walking distance. The optional on-site lunches at ~5€ also serve as an affordable daily food alternative.
Daily cleaning by staff is confirmed across many reviews and across multiple years. Several guests describe it as the cleanest coliving or accommodation they've encountered in Morocco.
Rooms are frequently described as cozy, comfortable, and individually decorated. Several guests staying for multiple weeks or months reported no maintenance issues.
One reviewer noted that not every bedroom includes a desk, and another mentioned wanting a proper bedside table. These are isolated comments and not echoed by others.
Multiple reviewers specifically highlight quietness as a feature, and several use the 'Quiet' tag. Long-stay guests of one month or more report no sleep disruptions.
One reviewer advises bringing earplugs due to the local mosque's morning prayer at 6am. This is an external environmental factor not within the property's control, and no other reviewer mentions it.

SunDesk's focus is on creating a vibrant coworking community where skills can be shared, relationships can be built, and fun can be cultivated. The space recognizes the importance of starting the day as a group, bringing everyone together on the terrace for a delicious healthy breakfast every morning.
Community building happens through three main ways: food, staff, and shared space. For every breakfast (and some days, lunch as well), all guests come and sit together, eat together and converse. The staff makes sure to make introductions and foster a sense of belonging - no one is left behind. While technology can hinder in-person interaction, guests are always found chatting between coworking sessions. When most guests leave, they know everyone on a first-name basis and have a new group of friends to travel and work with.

SunDesk is located in Taghazout, a vibrant seaside Berber village on the Atlantic coast of Morocco, about 20 minutes north of Agadir. This former fishing village — discovered by hippies in the 1970s for its world-class surf — has grown into a lively surf and travel destination that blends authentic Moroccan culture with a relaxed, international atmosphere. The village enjoys a favourable microclimate that keeps it cooler than the rest of Morocco in summer.
SunDesk sits right in the centre of the village, with stunning ocean views from its rooftop terraces. Guests consistently describe the location as ideal: quiet at night yet lively during the day, with restaurants, a pharmacy, a weekly Tuesday souk (market), and a skate park all within easy reach on foot. The area is widely considered safe, with locals known for being friendly and welcoming to visitors.
Taghazout is also an excellent base for exploring the wider region. The medieval coastal town of Essaouira is about 2.5 hours away by car, while the laid-back beach town of Mirleft and the bustling city of Marrakech are popular weekend destinations.
Beach 2-5min walk, restaurants, shops, gym, volleyball courts, skate park all within walking distance
Reviews: Guests consistently praise the excellent location - beach is 2-5 minutes walk, town center and restaurants are very close. Everything needed is within easy walking distance, making the area highly walkable and convenient.
Long-distance buses to Marrakech via CTM/SupraTours (€26 round trip). Requires taxi to reach bus station in Agadir.
Destinations: Marrakech, Essaouira, and other Moroccan cities
Reviews: Guests mention organizing weekend trips to Marrakech and Essaouira. The hosts are helpful in arranging transportation and providing recommendations for these excursions.
Paid parking is available on the main street in Taghazout. Day parking is approximately €0.20 and overnight parking approximately €1 for most of the year. Prices roughly double during summer, and spaces can be scarce. Once parked, Taghazout itself is very walkable.
How to get to SunDesk Coliving from the nearest transportation hubs:
Highly recommended. The driver will have access to the house and can show you to your room even for late-night arrivals. Prices are fixed — no need to negotiate or pay cash on the spot. Book via the SunDesk reservation process.
Local drivers typically charge well above standard rates. Requires cash payment and price negotiation skills.
Alternative shuttle service from the airport. Check souktosurf.com for schedules, destinations, and booking.
Not recommended — involves multiple transfers and takes approximately 3 hours. Direct taxi or shuttle options are far more practical.

EU nationals with a passport that is valid for at least 6 months after your return date do not need a visa to enter Morocco as a tourist. It is possible for EU nationals to stay up to 3 months in Morocco. If you hold a passport from outside the European Union, we strongly recommend that you check with the nearest Moroccan Embassy about visa requirements. For quick visa information about your country and Morocco check out www.visahq.com
The Moroccan currency is the Dirham (abbreviated MAD). Exchange rates are around 11 Dirhams to 1€, 13 Dirhams to 1£, and 9 Dirhams to $1. Dirhams can only be obtained within Morocco. The cheapest way to get the currency is to withdraw using your Visa or MasterCard at one of the many ATMs at the airport or in Taghazout. There are also currency exchange facilities in the airport with decent exchange rates. This local machine and many other ATMs in Morocco do not accept debit cards and can be a little unreliable. If you have a VISA card, we recommend bringing it instead. If withdrawing cash doesn't work on the first try, don't worry, just try a different ATM.
Morocco is a very safe country. Tourism is an important segment of the economy, and the government is very serious about the tourist safety.
Morocco is a tolerant Muslim country, especially in tourist areas. Swimsuits and bikinis are normal on the beach. If you are coming in the winter, you probably need some warm clothes too, as the temperature drops in the evenings.
A variety of western and traditional Moroccan food is available in the restaurants and cafés in Taghazout. You can find fresh fruit, vegetables, fish and meat in many local shops. There are also plenty of options to cater for vegetarians, vegans, and any other dietary requirements.
Morocco is a Muslim country and alcohol is still not sold in most small towns and villages. However, you can buy alcohol in supermarkets, liquor shops and bars in Agadir — beer, wine, and any kind of spirits. There are now a couple of restaurants serving alcohol in Taghazout, but the options are limited and the service is restricted to the restaurant (no public drinking).
Moroccan voltage is 220V, 50 Hz (two-pin round plugs). Always check your laptop or electronic gadgets to make sure they can handle 100-240 volts.
You do not need any vaccinations to visit Morocco. There is a well stocked pharmacy in the village where you can buy any medicine you need. We are also fully equipped with first-aid equipment at the office.
Morocco is an all year round destination for great weather. We are blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Morocco is an all year round destination for great weather. We are blessed with over 300 days of sunshine a year. During the summer time most of Morocco is very hot. Taghzout, however is blessed with a microclimate that keeps it cooler than the rest of the country. It can be foggy most of the day until 4pm-5pm. After this it clears up and you can go to the beach. During the winter months it can be warm during the day and then when the sun goes down the temperature can drop. So, be sure to pack a cozy jumper.

Eating at restaurants is inexpensive in comparison to western standards. Expect to pay the equivalent of 1€ for a street snack
If you speak french, you'll be able to speak to almost anyone. If you only speak english, don't worry, many people speak english, and Morrocans are very helpful and resourceful 🙂
The short answer: Does it happen? Yes. Could it happen anywhere? Yes.
While Taghazout is great, moroccan food quality standards are not the same as the western world's. While there are amazing dishes you need to try, some places make them with… less hygiene in mind.
This does not mean you will get sick here! The majority of our guests leave with great memories and happy bellies. But those guests keep in mind the tricks of the trade to avoid the not so fun side of the developing world. Here are some tricks you can use here, as well as in other developing countries:
If you do happen to get sick:
The good news:
Taghazout, is a vibrant seaside Berber village in the north of Agadir, southern Morocco. This former laid-back fishing place with its world class surf spots was discovered by the hippies in the 70's and surf tourism has flourished since. Taghazout is the perfect place to enjoy the authentic Moroccan spirit paired with a western lifestyle.
The longer you stay, the more you will feel it. Morroccan are very friendly, and enjoy interacting with tourists. So while you may not be a local, you can definitely become an honorary morrocan, and feel at home here.
Getting to Marrakech is a breeze, and makes for a great weekend trip. All you have to do is book a bus, we recommend www.supatours.ma or www.ctm.ma which costs about €26 round trip.
After you book your ticket you can ask out host to book a taxi to take you to the bus station, and then pick you up when you come back for only €30 round-trip.
Or, you can take the https://www.souktosurf.com shuttle. It is a direct shuttle service from Taghazout to Marrakech Airport or other destinations in the city, twice a day.
While we dont have one onsite, a short walk along the beach will take you to a gym at the Radisson Blue hotel, a nearby resort. You can either purchase a week pass for €18.50 or a month pass for €65. The gym is open 24/7.
Alternatively, there is a small Calisthenics park around 200 meters from the SunDesk main building or a CrossFit parkour right at the beach in Taghazout Bay Medina. It is a 2.5 km walk there.
At Panorama Beach, you can find volleyball fields, and Taghazout has its own skate park, including skateboard rental too
We know surfing isn't for everyone, so if your looking to stay active while your here, check out our activities page!
During Ramadan, generally things are slower: about half the shops are closed until 1pm, and the other half of the restaurants will be fully closed for the entire month. However, food options are available during the month, and all outdoor activities are still available. Additionally, SunDesk is fully open during Ramadan!
The village of Taghazout is 20 minutes away from Agadir on the Atlantic coast of Morocco.
Many low-fare airlines fly directly to Agadir, which is an hour drive along the coast road to Taghazout.
More airlines fly to Marrakech, which is a €14 bus trip (3-4 hours) away. We recommend taking CTM, SupraTours buses or a direct shuttle from the airport with souktosurf. Read below how to reach us from Marrakech.
The most comfortable way is to get a taxi from the airport. SunDesk is an hour drive away and gives lifts from Agadir Airport (€28 or 300 MAD) or Bus station (€15) to Taghazout on request. There is a bus running from Agadir Airport to Inezgane, from Inezgane to Agadir and from Agadir bus 32 to Taghazout. We don't recommend taking the bus because it can take about 3 hours to reach us. Alternatively, you can take a shuttle from the airport with Souk to Surf.
1. Take a taxi from the airport to CTM Bus station (€10)
2. Get into the bus to Agadir (€14)

Yes! You can book a taxi while booking your room, or inquire after booking, we'll make sure to set it up.

We highly recommend you use this service: you can take a taxi from the airport or bus station with a local driver, however they will try to charge you a lot of money, you'll have to negotiate, and you'll have to pay in cash. With us, we use a trusted taxi company that will hold a SunDesk sign for you to easily find them, and the prices are set.
While we do not have a 24/7 receptionist, this is not a problem.

While there are many definitions, coliving is a new type of accommodation model, where guests share living space, interests, values, and/or intentions. The idea is not new, just reenvisioned with millennial values in mind; values such as openness, collaboration, social networking, and the sharing economy. Our favorite part about coliving? You'll never come home to an empty house.

Following her dreams to travel and work, our founder Magda started her education in the hotel sector. After a short time, she figured out that working for a global hotel chain meant representing a brand with little-to-no consideration for cultural differences. Creating the same product all over the world wasn't fulfilling for her, and in 2011 she decided to do something different.
She joined an online university and started to work in Taghazout. While studying, she met freelancers from all over the world having a great time in Morocco while also working on their own projects. However, everyone faced the same problems: slow internet connections, finding a quiet place to work, having stable skype calls and a lack of social contact.
The idea for SunDesk was born with the aim of giving everyone the opportunity to travel and maintain the ability to work while being abroad. She googled "location independent worker" and found out about a group called "Digital Nomads". From that moment, she was determined to start a space for these enterprising travelers, and with the help of many amazing friends and supporters her dream came true.
While we don't organize any formal events other than the weekly trip to the Souk (market) and our Tuesday barbeque, our members are always self-organizing to go out to events in Taghazout, and collectively setting up day-trip and excursions. The SunDesk staff is always available to make recommendations and set activities up for our guests. See our list of activities here: https://sun-desk.com/sun-desk-activities/
There are three main ways we create a sense of community: food, staff, and shared space. For every breakfast (and some days, lunch as well), all of our guests come and sit together, eat together and converse. Our staff makes sure to make introductions, and foster a sense of belonging; no one is left behind. Lastly while technology can hinder in-person interaction, you'll always find our guests chatting between coworking sessions. When most guests leave, they know everyone on a first-name basis, and have a new group of friends to travel and work with.
While our occupancy varies, the maximum amount of people that could stay at SunDesk is 15.
While guest's stay-length varies, most people are staying at SunDesk for between one and 4 weeks. We do, however, have an increasing number of guests staying on a monthly basis.
Most of our typical guests are digital nomads; travelers who work from their computers and therefore work from anywhere. Digital nomads are not your typical travelers: they are not at SunDesk to party and relax. They choose SunDesk for the fast wifi, surf, and community, so they are usually be found working for a decent portion of the day.
Taghazout itself is not known for its digital nomad scene – However Sundesk is the digital nomad haven that Taghazout has always needed! From our fiber-optic internet to our coworking space, you will see nomads spitting their time between their work and the beach!
Feel free to have a couple guests over during the day; they are welcome to hangout in the common areas with you present. For anyone who would like to stay the night, Morrocan law requires that they go through a formal check in process, and therefore they would need to become a paying guest. Please inquire with our staff for availability. If your friends are at SunDesk to work, they must pay for a coworking day pass.
Unfortunately we can not accept pets due to the changing potential allergies of existing and upcoming guests.
Yes! Couples and reserve rooms through our booking pages just like any other room. Please make sure to reserve a room indicating "Max 2 persons" and specify the quantity as "2" when selecting your desired room.
Our hosts are here to welcome you and ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience during your stay at SunDesk! They will meet you upon arrival, show you around, and are always available to you in-person or over the phone. They can help you set up excursions, give you advice on where to surf, and much more. Our hosts are an integral part of our community, and are either from Taghazout or the surrounding villages. See more about our hosts here.

In short, we do not allow anyone under the age of 18 with or without supervision. However under certain circumstances we may allow children. Please inquire here before booking.
Yes! We have a washer on-site, and drying racks available. Each wash is 2€. Laundry detergent is made available as well.
Some of our private rooms can be used as shared rooms; the beds split apart to create a shared twin room.
Two people, one in each bed.
Upon arrival you'll receive keys to your room, the main house, and if you are staying in the 2nd house, a key to the second house as well. Only you and our staff have access to these areas. We provide key-access lockers in our coworking area for your convenience, but as a testament to the safety of our space, barely anyone uses the lockers. Our wfit network is password-protected, and the password is changed when needed. For your privacy, we have not installed cameras in the common areas of our space. In addition to the above, coliving provides a unique, unintended security benefit: Because many people are living in the same spaces, there is virtually always someone at home.
At this time, we do not have rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Usually 2 rooms share one bathroom which is cleaned every day by our staff.
Our kitchen in our main house (which everyone has access to) and has everything you would need to cook, eat, and clean: a stove top, oven, fridge, dishwasher, coffee machines (drip and french press) coffee grinder, pots, pans, spatulas, ladles, etc. Our kitchen even includes restockables like tea, coffee beans, and spices. Our kitchen in the 2nd house is more limited (no dishwasher, oven, or restockables) but still has everything you'd need to cook a stove top meal.
The main street in Taghazout has paid daily and overnight parking. For the majority of the year, day parking is usually around 0.20€ and overnight parking is usually around 1€. Expect the prices to double during the summer, and parking to be scarce (or at least a long walk) Once you have parked however, Taghazout is very walkable, you shouldn't need your car to get around.
SunDesk has 11 bedrooms, a coworking space, a three rooftop terraces, a two-kitchens, and a Skype room.
At this time, our space is currently not handicapped accessible.
While you can see the waves roll in from our office and terrace, the beach is only a five minute walk away!
The best time to surf in Taghazout is between October and April, if you come to SunDesk any other time, you can still surf but you will need to search harder for the surf spots. Check the Magic Seaweed Guide for more specific advice.
Check google for the surf spots, there are many! Here's a quick link showing how many there are.
