  Description

  Welcome to a cozy hostel nestled on the Atlantic coast between Agadir and Essaouira, in the heart of the charming fishing village of Imsouane. Known for its fresh fish and its world-class waves, Imsouane attracts surfers from all around the world looking to enjoy the endless-summer vibe.
  
  It is managed by Houda, a local woman from the region, passionate about sharing the beauty of her culture, the warmth of Moroccan hospitality, and the authentic spirit of Imsouane. Here, we love meeting new people, exchanging stories, and creating unforgettable memories. Our goal is to make every guest feel at home and to offer a real and welcoming picture of our region.
  
  We offer different types of rooms to suit various budgets, including shared rooms and private double rooms.
  
  Our outdoor terrace is where magic happens every morning — breakfast served while watching the waves roll in. We also have a cozy wooden cabin where volunteers and guests like to relax, play cards, enjoy dinners, or watch movies together.
  
  Our locally employed staff includes:
  • Houda – Manager & Cook
  
  It is all about community, good vibes, delicious food, and the simple joy of living by the ocean.
