Day 1 – Strolling Through Art Deco History
Sidi Ifni’s white-and-blue buildings recall its Spanish era. Start at Plaza Hassan II, lined with art deco arcades, then climb the old Spanish consulate for panoramic views.
Don’t miss the former air terminal with its round lines, now a cultural hub where photographers exhibit coastal life.
Sunset Pilgrimage to Legzira
In the afternoon drive 20 minutes north to Legzira. As the tide recedes, photographers gather beneath the natural arches for fiery sunsets. Pack a headlamp for the walk back after dark and watch for high tide times.
Day 2 – Markets, Seafood & Anti-Atlas Loop
Sunday morning belongs to the souk: baskets, saffron, antiques and warm msemen pancakes. Afterwards feast on grilled lobster or sardines at the port restaurants overlooking the fishing boats.
If you have a car, continue inland toward Guelmim or the oasis of Tighmert, where palm groves and ksour villages show the desert’s first whispers.
Where to Stay & Wellness
Boutique riads such as Fort Bou-Jerif or cliff-top eco-lodges offer ocean-view suites, hammams and yoga terraces. Many stays propose surf and paragliding packages.
For a budget-friendly option, choose guesthouses around Avenue Mohammed V—perfect for wandering the town on foot.
Driving Notes & Safety
The road from Tiznit (N1) is smooth; expect 1h15 with ocean panoramas. Keep an eye out for goats near the roadside and respect 60 km/h limits entering each village.
Fuel up in Tiznit or Guelmim as stations are scarce. Mobile coverage is solid along the main road but weaker on the coastal tracks.
