About Fairmont Taghazout Bay
- The resort sits at Taghazout, a village that became a word-of-mouth surfing destination from the 1970s when budget travellers discovered its consistent Atlantic swells — Fairmont's arrival in 2021 represents the full arc from hippie surf camp to five-star resort on the same stretch of coastline.
- The golf course was designed by Kyle Phillips, who also created Kingsbarns Golf Links in Scotland — bringing a designer associated with top-tier links architecture to Morocco's Atlantic coast.
History
Fairmont Taghazout Bay opened in 2021 along Morocco's Atlantic Coast in the surf village of Taghazout, near Agadir. The resort is built along a dramatic clifftop setting above the ocean and features an 18-hole links-style golf course, several pools, and an extensive spa. The property is part of the larger Taghazout Bay integrated tourism resort being developed by the Moroccan government. Its opening marked Fairmont's expansion into the Western Atlantic coast of Morocco, complementing its existing Marrakech property.
