đ§ïž What to Do When It Rains in Tamraght, Taghazout & Agadir (Local Guide)
Even in sunny Morocco, the occasional rainy day can roll in, especially in winter (November to February). But donât worry! Whether youâre staying in Tamraght, Taghazout, or Agadir, thereâs plenty to do when the surf is flat and the sky turns grey. Here are some cosy, cultural, and fun ideas to make the most of a rainy day on the coast.
đ Relax & Rejuvenate at a Hammam/ Spa
Thereâs nothing better than a traditional steam-filled Moroccan hammam on a rainy day. Youâll find everything from local neighbourhood baths to luxury spas â the perfect way to warm up and unwind. Tamraght Spa House and La Petite Palmeraie are two favourites; it's best to book (via WhatsApp) a day in advance to guarantee your preferred slot. Adela Tamraght is a new addition, with no hammam, but you can enjoy their head spa, facials, and nail care services. They also do beautiful henna tattoo art!

đ Stay In & Reset
Rainy days are ideal for catching up on rest, journaling, or planning your next surf trip. If youâre decluttering, both Kasbari and the nearby thrift shop in Tamraght accept clothing donations, a nice way to give back locally while you tidy up.
đïž Go Shopping in Agadir
Head to the CarrefourâDecathlon complex (view on Google Maps), it has cafĂ©s, clothing stores, and outdoor gear to browse. âSupermarket tourismâ is a surprisingly fun way to spend a rainy afternoon: look out for aisles of mint tea, colourful spices, and babouches (Moroccan slippers).

Taghazout: Cafe Mouja and World of Waves
Tamraght: Plancha du Rocher
Agadir Marina: Espresso Lab, perfect for boat-watching with a good coffee
đČ Take a Moroccan Cooking Class
Cooking classes are a great way to stay dry and learn local cuisine. Many accommodations can arrange them, or you can book directly. In Tamraght, Ilham Aboulhim offers classes every Tuesday and on request. She also teaches Darija (Moroccan Arabic) for those seeking a cultural immersion experience.
đ§ș Explore Souk El Had, Agadir
This bustling market is mostly covered, making it a perfect rainy-day outing. Wander through endless aisles of spices, textiles, crafts, and souvenirs, local, vibrant, and a feast for all the senses.
đ§ Stay Active Indoors
Rainy days are perfect for surf conditioning and yoga. Yoga studios with indoor spaces include Blue Mind, Amouage by Surf Maroc, Kalananda, and STUDiiO HY (above Hey Yallah). For a more dynamic, strength-based workout, women-only fitness sessions, or one-on-one coaching, Dannii Askari offers excellent training at local gyms.
