The sunset hour
The village faces west, so sunset is the main event: rooftops and café terraces fill from about an hour before dark, and the point gets its glassy evening session below.

Nightlife in Taghazout: the honest answer
Sunset dinners, a few restaurant bars, and quieter nights before the surf. For a club evening, look to Taghazout Bay or Agadir. Choose your area, then sort the table and the ride home.

After dinner
Dinner, mint tea and time with friends on a terrace. Ask your accommodation about music or shared dinners on your dates; the village is usually a quieter base than Agadir.

Taghazout village
Sunset on a rooftop, dinner on a terrace, then an early night before the surf: that is an evening in the village. A few restaurants serve drinks and there is no bar street. What is served, and where bottles are sold, is in the alcohol section just below.
Taghazout Bay, the resort strip
A separate resort a few kilometres south of the village, and where the hotel bars are. Every name here is on the hotel’s own website.
- Fairmont
- NOLA, a jazz bar, Tuesday to Sunday 20:00–00:00; Junipers, a garden bar, and Tapa, a wine bar, every day 17:00–01:00
- Hyatt Regency
- Sud, Km 17; La Vie en Bleu, the pool bar; Le 17 Beach Club, with music and DJ sets on selected Friday and Saturday evenings
- Radisson Blu
- Seaven Bar, The Roof Bar and La Brise, the beach bar
- Hyatt Place
- Le Bar
- Hilton
- Pulse, listed as a nightclub with DJ sets and special events
A listing is not a party every night: check the programme and whether non-residents are admitted.
Resorts in Taghazout BayTamraght and Aourir
Plan around surf-camp dinners, rooftops and cafés. Ask your accommodation about its evening programme and drinks policy; do not assume every camp runs public events or allows outside drinks.
Tamraght guideAgadir marina
The calmest way to have a drink out. The marina’s restaurants and lounges run late and turn into evening places without ever becoming clubs, and the walk around the water is pleasant in a way the beach promenade is not. If you want one civilised drink and a taxi home before midnight, this is the trip to make.
Agadir’s clubs
The late hours are in Agadir, about 20 km south. Club names change from one season to the next, so this page names only what a hotel publishes itself: the Riu Tikida Beach lists an on-site nightclub, and the Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay lists its Soul Bar and a pool lounge, Voile Blanche. Pick a specific event, then confirm entry, opening times and the way back before setting off. An old club list is not a booking confirmation.

Alcohol in Taghazout, plainly
Taghazout is quieter than Agadir, but it is not dry. In the village, Kitchen Club lists beers, wines and cocktails and says it is open to the public every day from 12:00 to 23:00; Munga’s Kitchen lists beer and wine. Both are restaurants first: check the venue for current service, and do not expect a bar street.
Buying a bottle is not the same as ordering a drink. Alcohol for private use is sold in licensed shops: look for them in Agadir and check their hours, and any Ramadan closure, with the shop itself. Do not count on an evening shopping stop in the village. And keep it indoors: the UK and Canadian travel advisories both say that drinking in the street, or anywhere other than a licensed restaurant, bar or hotel, is illegal in Morocco.
During Ramadan, evenings actually get livelier after iftar — cafés fill late — but alcohol availability tightens further and some Agadir venues close for the month. Respect the rhythm and the village gives its best.
Ask a local on WhatsAppFrequently asked questions
Are there bars or clubs in Taghazout?
Yes, there are restaurant bars in the village, including Kitchen Club. Taghazout Bay has hotel bars and Pulse; Agadir offers more late-night choices. Check the programme and visitor access for your date.
Can you buy alcohol in Taghazout?
You can order it in the village restaurants that serve it, such as Kitchen Club. Bottles are sold in licensed shops, which means a trip to Agadir: check the shop’s hours first. Drinking in the street is illegal in Morocco, so it stays indoors.
What do people do at night in Taghazout?
Sunset on a rooftop, dinner, mint tea, beach bonfire guitars when someone brings one, and early sleep — the good waves are at dawn. It is a village that rewards the morning person.
Is Taghazout boring at night then?
It depends what you came for. Surfers call the quiet the whole point. If your trip needs live music and late bars every night, base yourself in Agadir and day-trip to the surf, or split the week between the two — or compare Essaouira, which has more evening culture.
