Workcation Morocco: 12 Days Remote Work & Sun

Why This Trip?

I still remember the first morning I opened my laptop in Taghazout. The call to prayer drifted up from the village mosque, a rooster was going berserk somewhere below my rooftop, and the Atlantic was doing its steady, endless thing just past the surfboards. I shipped two client projects that week without once feeling like I was “working from vacation.” That’s the trick of this place. Over 12 days you’ll anchor in Taghazout and Agadir, where fast Wi-Fi, world-class point breaks and a cost of living that won’t make you wince all happen to live in the same postcode. Most “work abroad” trips force you to pick a lane — all grind or all holiday. Here, mornings are for deep focus, afternoons are for saltwater, and you fly home with shipped work, sand in your keyboard and a noticeably quieter head.

About Agadir

Agadir sits on Morocco’s southern Atlantic coast, in the Souss-Massa region, roughly 500 km south of Casablanca. The city was flattened by a devastating earthquake in 1960 and rebuilt from scratch, which is why it feels modern and low-rise instead of medina-dense — no maze of alleyways here, just wide boulevards and a 10 km crescent of sand. It’s Morocco’s premier seaside resort, with a working fishing port and a marina where you can watch the day’s catch come in. The surrounding Souss Valley is one of the country’s agricultural engines, shipping citrus and early vegetables to Europe. Culturally, this is Amazigh (Berber) heartland; you’ll hear Tashelhit as often as Arabic or French. Just north, Taghazout went from sleepy fishing village to global surf mecca in the 1960s and 70s, when travelling surfers stumbled onto its point breaks and never really left. The two places form one coastal zone where fishing boats, surf vans and laptop bags somehow all share the same stretch of road.

Your 12 days Itinerary

Days 1-3 — Land and settle in Taghazout. Arrive at Agadir Al Massira Airport, then take the 45-minute transfer north to Taghazout. Day 2: set up your workspace, run a speed test, wander the village and watch the sun drop behind Hash Point. Day 3: morning work block, then a beginner surf lesson at Panorama Beach — trust me, the whitewash there is forgiving.

Days 4-6 — Deep work and local immersion. Day 4: full workday, then a hammam in Agadir that will steam the desk stiffness right out of your shoulders. Day 5: early session at Anchor Point, afternoon co-working in Taghazout. Day 6: day trip to Paradise Valley, a palm-lined canyon with natural pools, 30 minutes inland.

Days 7-8 — Agadir city and coastline.

trong> Move base to Agadir. Day 7: explore the marina, the Agadir Oufella kasbah ruins and the glorious chaos of souk El Had. Day 8: work from a beachfront café, then sunset walk along the promenade.
