Yara Lodge

Tamraght Oufella • Morocco

A surf & yoga guesthouse above Banana Point

Eight bright rooms, a Moroccan breakfast every morning and a rooftop over the ocean and the mountains. Stay for a few nights, or bring your group and have the whole house.

Marhaba, welcome to Yara

Slow mornings, salt air and a rooftop for the sunset

Yara Lodge opened in 2026 on the hillside of Hay Zgoumi in Tamraght Oufella, 1.2 km above the Atlantic swells of Banana Point. It’s part guesthouse, part Moroccan coastal home: eight bright rooms, unhurried service, and a rooftop where the day starts with msemen and fresh juice and ends with the sunset.

Arched doorways into a double room and its en-suite bathroom
Why Yara

A home on the hill, not a hotel

Sunset over the Atlantic from the Yara Lodge rooftop

The view

Framed by the mountains and the Atlantic: open sky, warm sun and a horizon to watch from the roof.

Bed in white linen beside a hand-carved wooden door

The house

Plaster walls, raw linen, woven textiles and hand-carved doors. Handmade warmth instead of hotel minimalism.

Mint tea and snacks on the Yara Lodge rooftop lounge, ocean on the horizon

The welcome

A mint tea when you arrive, a Moroccan breakfast every morning, and Ghita, your host, who wants you to feel at home.

From premium doubles with ocean views to a female-only dorm. Breakfast is always included.

Twin room with three lit arched niches above the beds
