About Mirleft

A small, sleepy Berber fishing town perched between jutting mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, Mirleft is one of Morocco's best-kept secrets: a laid-back surfer town popular with artists and musicians, its fledgling uncommercialised development was a result of individuals - particularly folk from Germany and France - as opposed to large corporations and mega-resorts that you tend to find along the rugged North African coastline. Tumbling down a hill crowned with a fort built by the Spanish in 1935, it is defined by its pristine, tranquil beaches, where watersports like surfing, windsurfing and paragliding are popular, and by its sleepy chic cafes nestling beneath the arches of the main street. You can immerse yourself in Berber culture by taking some cooking classes; buy handmade Moroccan silverware from a local market; hike the rugged coastline or simply slum it at the beach, in the brazen sunshine. Regardless, Mirleft is a wonderful place to visit - whether you're on a family holiday, romantic break or a getaway with your friends. Sleepy, small, quaint and charming, the best places to stay in Mirleft include a lovely guesthouse overlooking the ocean.
