Coliving Morocco
Your one stop guide to coliving in Morocco
Top Destinations for coliving in Morocco
Here at Nomadico we take pride in always knowing the best place to colive and be a digital nomad. Bill our founder has been on the ground in Morocco for a few months opening our Taghazout location and he definitely has the inside information for us. We don't always recommend the most "popular" or touristy places... instead we focus on the best quality authentic destinations for digital nomads.
Coliving in Morocco: our hot take
The Nomadico team is entirely (digital) nomadic and we strongly believe the best spots for digital nomads are not always the most well-known. For us, Morocco has it all. Good climate, affordable cost of living, delicious food (I mean wow!), friendly locals and very convenient to Europe location. If you aren't planning a trip here soon, you're already missing out.
Let's dive into it a bit...
-
Convenience; Morocco is just a hop away from Europe. This is great for our EU time-zoned nomads and for those who like to keep a home-base. You can either take a short flight (we've sometimes seen ones for under 20 euros) or catch the ferry from Spain.
-
Climate; Morocco is great for sunshine seekers and when the rest of the world is still chilly, Morocco's cold season is definitely sandal weather.
-
Affordability; Morocco has a comparatively low cost of living. For those who love to grab coffee or a meal out this is a great location!
-
Friendliness & Community; We can't speak for everywhere but in Taghazout it has been easy to make friends and community with expats and locals alike! Morocco has lots of friendly faces that are eager to give recommendations or pour you a mint tea (this is how you welcome someone!)
-
Adventure; Morocco is full of adventure which is why we love it. If you're a culture lover or outdoor fan this is a spot for you. Surfing on the coast, sand dunes in the middle and the impressive atlas mountains make Morocco an unforgettable nomad destination.
Coliving Taghazout, Morocco
Taghazout offers a laid-back and relaxed lifestyle as a surfing town that is steeped in beach culture, boasting breathtaking sunsets and somewhere to make new friends for sure. Taghazout/Tamraght is the right spot for you if you enjoy the surf/hippy towns of the world. There is a vibrant nomad community here with a nice surf vibe.

Coliving Marrakesh, Morocco
Life in Marrakesh is bustling and vibrant, with a mix of traditional and modern elements. The market here is a beautiful and unforgettable chaos! Our favorite part of Marrakesh: getting your nomad group together to watch the sunset near the souk at sunset.
📍Our coliving pick in Marrakesh: Outsite or just enjoy one of the good coworking spaces! We recommend Coworking L'BLASSA
Coliving Essaouira, Morocco
Essaouira is a lovely coastal town that is filled with energy from the locals and nomads combined. Although Essaouira does have a nice beginner surf break- it's more popular for its medina (historic town).
📍Our coliving pick in Essaouira: Noqta
Coliving Fes, Morocco
Fes is a magical city with an ancient medina, colorful markets, winding streets and historic landmarks. If you're interested in history and culture then Fes is an unmissable stop on your nomad journey. Although not exactly a thriving digital nomad spot currently... Fes truly cannot be passed if you come to Morocco.
📍 We don't have a colive recommendation for Fez. However Bridges to the Future is a good cowork (although more geared towards locals).
Coliving Rabat, Morocco
As the capital of Morocco, Rabat is a busy and modern city. Here you can find the expected embassies, government and university buildings. Rabat has a good infrastructure and lots of expats.
📍 We don't have a colive recommendation currently but we are keeping an eye on it for you.
Coliving Tangier, Morocco
Tangier is an unique blend of cultures due to its strategic location at the mouth of the mediterranean. Its close proximity to Spain means the ferries come and go several times a day. In Tangier you can visit a beautiful medina as well as enjoy a more modern way of life.
📍 We don't have a colive recommendation currently but we are keeping an eye on it for you.
Morocco as a digital nomad: the logistics
Morocco can be a great country to live in as a digital nomad, as it offers a relatively low cost of living, diverse culture, and a growing tech scene. We've laided out a few of the basics so you're prepared.
-
Visa: Morocco allows visa-less entry under 90 days for many countries. Check out the following Wikipedia page about the Visa policy of Morocco to see if you need one yourself. Oh! Be sure to have a blank page before you go! And in case you want to extend your visa in Morocco, check out this great blog post by Cynthia, a fellow nomad.
-
Internet access: Morocco has made significant investments in its telecommunications infrastructure in recent years, and the country now has a relatively high level of internet access. More remote locations will have somewhat less reliable wifi, although for Taghazout it's the contrary. Taghazout has invested in fibre-optic internet and raised the bar for coastal towns in Morocco to super speed.
-
Safety: Morocco is generally a safe country, but like anywhere, there are areas where caution is advised. Major cities are generally less safe and men may feel more safe than women. If you're worried about safety we recommend starting your journey in a Morocco coliving space so you always have a support system!
-
Culture: Morocco has a rich and diverse culture, with a mix of Arabic, Berber, and European influences. Get ready to learn about this fun mix!
-
Language: The official languages of Morocco are Arabic and Berber, although French is also widely spoken. English is also becoming more common, particularly in the locations where the most tourist go. We recommend learning a few basic phrases in Arabic like thank you ('shokran). Like always locals appreciate you trying to speak a bit of their language.
