Investing in Marrakech or Agadir: how to compare the two markets
Two sought-after destinations, two different logics. A comparison framework based on use, not on promises of yield.
Property in Morocco
Buying property in Agadir and Taghazout
A beach, mild winters and international flights: Agadir attracts second homes and long stays. Taghazout, further north, adds surfing and resorts to the picture.
The Agadir and Taghazout property market at a glance
Agadir combines a long bay, a mild climate all year round and an international airport that passed the 3 million passenger mark in 2024. Demand centres on holiday homes, extended winter stays and year-round housing.
Some twenty kilometres to the north, Taghazout is known for surfing. The Taghazout Bay resort, developed over around 615 hectares, has added hotels, a golf course and residences. The market there is narrower than Agadir’s.
The main areas
- Agadir’s tourist and seaside district: apartments close to the beach and the promenade.
- Founty and Haut Founty: recent residential districts, with apartments and villas.
- The urban districts: more affordable property, geared to year-round living.
- Taghazout, Tamraght and Taghazout Bay: residences and apartments geared to holidays and stays.
Prices vary widely from one area to the next. Proximity to the sea alone is not enough to judge a property: the view, walking access to the beach, noise, parking, service charges and build quality matter just as much.
Property types and buyer profiles
Holiday apartments, long-term housing and villas can all be of interest. Buyers are often people who wish to spend part of the winter in Morocco, retirees, and families looking for a second home that can be reached by direct flight.
What may influence demand
The contract to extend Agadir Al Massira airport was awarded in 2025, and new direct routes to Germany have been announced for winter 2026/2027. Agadir is among the cities put forward for the 2030 World Cup. These contextual factors say nothing about the future value of a specific property.
According to the official Bank Al-Maghrib / ANCFCC index, prices in Agadir were almost unchanged in the 2nd quarter of 2026 (−0.1% over the quarter). Taghazout is not covered by the index: there are no official price statistics for the resort.
Possible uses and their limits
Holiday home and winter stays. This is the most common use. The coastal climate does, however, call for particular attention to humidity and upkeep.
Long-term let. This mainly concerns Agadir’s urban and residential districts.
Short-term holiday let. Possible subject to the applicable authorisation and to the co-ownership rules. Demand is seasonal; no level of income can be guaranteed.

Points to watch
What to check before buying in Agadir and Taghazout
Every property has its own particularities. These are the points we examine first in this market.
- Real distance from the beachon foot, including road crossings, not as the crow flies.
- Coastal climatehumidity, corrosion, the quality of the joinery and waterproofing.
- Service chargespool, security, green spaces; ask for the most recent service charge demands.
- Land title (titre foncier)the legal position of the property and of the residence, to be checked by a notary.
- Seasonalityoccupancy varies greatly from month to month for a letting project.
- Taxacquisition duties, annual taxes and tax on rental income, to be confirmed with a tax adviser.
Definitive legal, tax and technical checks must be carried out by duly authorised professionals (notary, lawyer, tax adviser, building expert). DACHMA Advisory coordinates them but does not take their place.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about property in Agadir and Taghazout
Can a non-resident foreigner buy property here?
Yes. Foreigners may buy property in Morocco. Agricultural land and land outside urban boundaries are subject to restrictions and to a specific procedure (a certificate of non-agricultural use, the attestation de vocation non agricole), which must be examined case by case with a notary.
Should I choose Agadir or Taghazout?
Agadir is a city in its own right, with services, shops and year-round life. Taghazout is a coastal village geared to surfing and holiday stays, with a narrower market. The choice depends on how long you plan to stay and how much you need services close at hand.
Are there official price statistics for Agadir?
The Real Estate Asset Price Index published each quarter by Bank Al-Maghrib and the ANCFCC covers Agadir. It measures the general movement in prices and does not give prices per square metre. Taghazout is not covered.
What should I check when buying a seafront apartment?
How the building has stood up to humidity, the real level of the co-ownership service charges, exposure to wind and noise, parking, and the co-ownership rules if you are thinking of letting.
