The red city has established itself as Morocco’s premier digital nomad destination, blending traditional Moroccan charm with a growing infrastructure that supports remote work. Marrakech attracts location-independent professionals with its established coworking scene, including popular spaces like Nest, Coworking du Maroc, and L’BLASSA, where many nomads base their daily operations.

Most digital nomads gravitate toward the modern Gueliz district for accommodation, drawn by its reliable internet infrastructure and contemporary amenities, while still enjoying the authentic cultural experiences of the medina for dining and exploration. This dual nature allows remote workers to balance productivity with immersion in Moroccan culture. The city supports a vibrant international community through coliving options like Outsite Marrakesh and networking opportunities via local WhatsApp groups, creating connections among remote workers. Key advantages include :
- Year-round warm weather enabling outdoor work with Atlas Mountain views
- Established coworking spaces in central Gueliz location
- Affordable accommodation options both inside and outside the medina
- Strong café culture with rooftop terraces offering sunset views
- Access to traditional hammams and cultural activities for work-life balance
Taghazout Surf Community
This coastal village has transformed from a quiet fishing town into Morocco’s most popular surf and digital nomad destination, attracting remote workers who prioritize work-life balance with ocean access. Taghazout offers an unmatched combination of consistent Atlantic swells, affordable beachfront accommodation, and a relaxed atmosphere that fosters creativity and productivity among location-independent professionals. The village hosts several coworking spaces including Outsite Taghazout and local cafés with reliable WiFi, where nomads can work mornings before hitting the waves during optimal surf conditions.
The community thrives on its blend of international surfers, entrepreneurs, and remote workers who create a supportive ecosystem for networking and collaboration. Popular accommodation options include:
- Surf hostels with dedicated workspaces like Salt Hostel and Paradis Plage
- Beachfront apartments in nearby Tamraght for longer-term stays
- Coliving spaces that combine surf lessons with coworking facilities
- Budget-friendly riads within walking distance of surf breaks
Peak season runs from October to April when both surf conditions and weather align perfectly for outdoor work sessions, though the growing nomad community maintains year-round presence due to consistently warm temperatures and lower accommodation costs compared to European coastal destinations.
Essaouira Coastal Workspace
Essaouira stands out as Morocco’s most sophisticated coastal coworking destination, offering digital nomads a UNESCO World Heritage medina backdrop with purpose-built spaces for remote work. The city’s unique positioning attracts professionals seeking a quieter alternative to busy Marrakech while maintaining excellent connectivity and infrastructure. Noqta Space leads the dedicated coworking scene as the only purpose-built facility specifically designed for digital nomads, featuring quiet work areas, open café-style spaces, and community-focused programming that runs Monday through Saturday.

Beyond dedicated facilities, several hybrid spaces cater to different working styles and budgets. Work & Beach operates from a converted riad offering ocean-view coworking rooms on the second floor, complete with coffee facilities and relaxation terraces just steps from kitesurfing beaches. For premium experiences, Mama Lova provides a velvet-laden boutique environment where coworking sessions include meals and unlimited coffee, operating as both morning workspace and evening rooftop bar. These spaces collectively create an ecosystem where remote workers can balance productivity with Essaouira’s renowned wind sports scene, taking advantage of lunch-break surf sessions and the city’s reputation as a kitesurfing mecca due to powerful Sahara winds. The coastal location provides consistent year-round working conditions with rates ranging from 100 MAD (€10) for half-day access to monthly packages, making it accessible for both short-term visitors and long-term digital nomads
