Does the Hilton Taghazout Bay have a spa?

Yes — the spa is a signature of the resort, baked into the hotel's full name (Beach Resort & Spa). The eforea Spa Hilton offers a full thermal circuit (traditional hammam, sauna, jacuzzi), treatments rooted in Moroccan tradition (black soap scrub, argan oil wrap), and several massage cabins. Day pass 500–800 MAD, individual treatments 350–900 MAD.

Is Hilton Honors valid at Taghazout?

Yes, fully. Nights count as qualifying for status (Silver, Gold, Diamond), Hilton Honors points accrue normally, and the hotel accepts award redemptions. For a loyal Hilton guest, this is one of the strongest arguments against the neighbouring Hyatt or Fairmont.

Are surf lessons included at the Hilton Taghazout Bay?

Not within the room rate, but the concierge service can arrange lessons with the area's partner schools — Banana Beach (Tamraght) or Taghazout Bay beach depending on conditions. Price €50–90 for a 2-hour group lesson, board and wetsuit included. For a fully surf-integrated stay, a dedicated surf camp in Taghazout village remains more practical.

What is the average price per night at the Hilton Taghazout Bay?

Expect €220–420 per night in a double room depending on season. Sea-view suites exceed €500. Comparable to the Hyatt Regency, slightly below the Fairmont. Hilton Honors award nights typically come out at 60,000–95,000 points per night.

Is the Hilton close to the surf spots?

Like every Taghazout Bay hotel, it sits about 7 km south of Anchor Point (10–12 min by road), 4 km north of Banana Beach (Tamraght, 8 min) and 1 hour from Imsouane. A shuttle or private taxi can be arranged by the concierge for 50–80 MAD to Anchor Point.

Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa: surf guide

The Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa is a 5-star in Taghazout Bay. Distance to spots, surf options, transfers, spa and alternatives. Practical guide.

Yoga mat with an ocean view — the wellness orientation that defines the experience at the Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa

The Hilton Taghazout Bay Beach Resort & Spa is the 5-star Hilton property within the Taghazout Bay development. It is one of three major international resorts in the area (alongside the Hyatt Regency and the Fairmont), with a spa and beach-club signature literally embedded in its name. For travellers loyal to the Hilton brand and Hilton Honors, this is the natural choice when pairing a Moroccan surf trip with a wellness stay.

This guide covers what you need to know before booking the Hilton Taghazout Bay: precise location, distance to the spots, surf options, what the resort actually offers, and alternatives at a similar budget.

Taghazout Bay seen from above — the Taghazout Bay zone, where the Hilton sits, lies 5 km south of the historic village — Taghazout Bay — the Hilton sits within the developed southern strip, aligned with the Hyatt, Fairmont, Riu and Radisson Blu.

The context: Taghazout Bay, not the historic village

First essential clarification: the Hilton Taghazout Bay is located in the purpose-built tourism zone Taghazout Bay, not in the historic Taghazout village. Distance between the two: 5 km. They are two different worlds:

Taghazout Bay = modern resort district, broad esplanade, golf, international chain hotels, marina in development
Taghazout village = former fishing village turned mini-capital of Moroccan surf, narrow lanes, surf camps, independent cafés

The Hilton sits in the former, right next to the Hyatt Regency, the Fairmont, the Riu Palace Tikida and the Hyatt Place. All of these hotels share the same proximity to the spots (Anchor Point 7 km, Banana Beach 4 km, Imsouane 1 h) and the same distance to the airport (30 km, 40 min).

The hotel at a glance: what the Hilton offers

Publicly available factual elements at time of writing:

Category: 5-star, Hilton brand (the group’s leisure-premium segment)
Rooms: roughly 200 rooms and suites
Rate format: à la carte (room only, bed & breakfast, half board, full board depending on booking)
Restaurants: main Mediterranean restaurant + à la carte restaurant + beach grill + lobby café
Bars: lobby bar, pool bar, beach bar
Pools: several outdoor pools, including an infinity pool
Beach: direct access plus private beach club
Eforea Spa: Hilton’s signature, thermal circuit plus Balinese and Moroccan treatments
Fitness: equipped gym plus group classes (yoga, pilates, aqua)
Kids club: supervised, multilingual themed programmes
Loyalty programme: Hilton Honors
Indicative price: €220–420 per night in a double room depending on season

Moroccan mint tea served the traditional way — a ritual the Hilton's eforea spa weaves into treatments inspired by the traditional hammam — The mint tea ritual — a symbol of Moroccan hospitality that spas such as eforea fold into their wellness journeys.

The spa signature: what makes the Hilton distinctive

Three of the major Taghazout Bay hotels run spas — Hyatt Regency, Fairmont, Hilton. But the Hilton is the one that has made the spa a central pillar of its positioning, as the full name of the property suggests (“Beach Resort & Spa”). In practice:

eforea Spa is Hilton’s spa brand, deployed across its most upscale properties.
The traditional Moroccan hammam is larger than the average across the area’s other resorts — black soap scrub, argan oil wrap, women’s and men’s treatments in separate cabins.
Several signature Hilton treatments are available only at Taghazout (argan, Berber oils, certain long-form rituals).
The thermal circuit is included in some day-pass packages; otherwise sold separately at 250–400 MAD.

For a stay combining 2 surf sessions a week + 4 spa sessions, the Hilton probably offers the best equation among the Taghazout Bay hotels.

Tamraght and Banana Beach from the oued — the main destination for group surf lessons taken by Hilton guests — Tamraght and Banana Beach — where most of the Taghazout Bay hotels’ partner schools take their students.

Surfing while staying at the Hilton: three options

The Hilton has no in-house surf school. The concierge service can arrange lessons with partner schools. Three scenarios, depending on your level.

Option 1 — Partner-school lesson at Banana Beach

Most of the Taghazout Bay schools run beginner and intermediate lessons at Banana Beach (Tamraght, 8 min by shuttle from the Hilton) — a long sandy-bottom beach break, ideal for your first green waves. Price €50–90 for a 2-hour group lesson, board and wetsuit included. Return shuttle included.

Who it suits: beginners, intermediates, children and teenagers starting out.

Option 2 — Independent surfing with a shuttle or taxi

For self-sufficient surfers (confirmed intermediate and above), rent a board for the week in the village (300–600 MAD) and use a shuttle or taxi to reach Anchor Point or Killer Point to the north, picking the spot to match the day’s conditions. Trip from Hilton → Anchor Point: 12 min, taxi 50–70 MAD.

Who it suits: experienced surfers wanting flexibility by spot and tide.

Option 3 — Day trip to Imsouane

An hour up the coast, Imsouane and its Cathedral Bay justify a full day. The concierge can organise the trip via partner operators: 350–600 MAD per person, transfer + board + coach included. It is the surf highlight of any Taghazout Bay stay for a confirmed intermediate. See our guide to Imsouane.

Sunset on the Taghazout coast — golden hour, the ideal moment for a post-surf spa session — Sunset on the coastline — the favourite hour for switching from a morning surf to the eforea spa as the day winds down.

Who the Hilton Taghazout Bay suits best

Ideal profile:

The loyal Hilton traveller (Gold or Diamond Hilton Honors status) maximising programme benefits
A couple or family combining moderate surfing with several weekly spa sessions
A business + leisure traveller extending an Agadir visit
A premium family with children learning to surf alongside a supervised kids club
A business traveller topping up a work stay with a few wellness days

Not the right fit for:

The intensive surfer wanting two sessions a day with a 6.30 a.m. start
The tight-budget traveller (expect €1,800+ for the week)
Travellers chasing authentic village atmosphere and community-driven surf camps
Surfers chasing the surf tribe (the Hilton is leisure-premium, not surf-focused)

How to get to the Hilton Taghazout Bay
