Our post about the best coliving in Morocco aims to help you better understand the ecosystem of coliving spaces in this country.
Morocco has some of the best coliving for Digital Nomads in the world and I’m not exaggerating…
This Post could be useful if…
- You are a remote worker or Digital Nomad looking for community-focused accommodation in Morocco.
- If you are looking for accommodation to work remotely…
- Somebody who wants to understand the diversity of the Coliving offer in Morocco…
What is coliving?
A coliving is a type of accommodation with a shared philosophy, in which common areas of the house are shared, such as work areas, kitchens, or bathrooms.
The main characteristic of a Coliving is its community life, members who live together also share experiences of all kinds.
It is not about renting a room with Wi-Fi, it is about learning, listening, and enjoying a shared life, in which you can also contribute your experiences and knowledge to other community members.
Community life is the main reason remote workers choose these accommodations when traveling alone.
Activities such as dinners, hiking, movie nights, etc. are carried out to generate connections between members.
About Morocco
Morocco is an impressive country that offers you the opportunity to enrich yourself with culture, beautiful landscapes, and experiences you will not easily forget.
Culture
A mix of Berber, Arab, and European cultures, it is a very enriching trip on a cultural level… History, together with well-maintained traditions, makes the experience authentic.
Surf Paradise
The Atlantic coast of Morocco has some of the best surfing spots in the world, with different kinds of waves, for all levels…
The beaches of Morocco are simply spectacular. Together with extraordinary weather all year round.
Weather
This country has a tropical climate, the coast has a warm Mediterranean climate. In summer from June to September in some areas of the country could be very hot, but the coast gets the fresh winds from the ocean…
Winters on the Atlantic coast are mild and not too cold but at night is better to have something to protect yourself, could be chilly…
The Best months to go are September to November, also March and April…
Hiking
The Atlas Mountains are a must-visit for all those wishing to enjoy incredible landscapes, dreamlike natural pools, and villas that maintain ancient traditions.
Locals
Moroccans are known worldwide for their hospitality and kindness. Getting into the Berber culture is one of the most authentic cultural experiences you can have in Morocco and this part of Africa…
Food
It is exquisite, exotic, intense… meats and vegetables seasoned with delicate spices, make your dinners delight with meals that keep ancient traditions.
Remember to be careful about food. Watch out for food poisoning – check restaurants with good Google reviews, drink bottled water, and never drink from an unknown source…
Digital Nomad
Traveling and working at the same time is not easy, and requires certain types of accommodations, where work can be done.
At the same time, as a Digital Nomad, you seek for community to meet other fellow Nomads who enrich your experience…
Morocco has some advantages for Europeans, such as
- Convenient time zone
- Affordability, one of the cheapest for Digital Nomads
- Great weather, but be careful in summer, it could be very hot
- Traditional culture
- Lots of outdoor activities
- One of the safest countries in Africa
- Wifi is good, but you can consider a backup internet connection, to be safe and avoid problems a good option is to stay at Colivings or go to work at a coworking
Main destinations
The main cities of the country, along with important tourist spots like Tangazout, have coworking spaces where you can work, in addition to some colivings.
In these cities the internet connection is good and you can find different services like cafeterias and restaurants…
Essaouira, Tangzout, and Tamraght are some of the locations where the Digital Nomad community is concentrated in Morocco.
But the city with the largest Digital Nomad community is Marrakesh, with many coffee shops and coworkings. If you are looking for a place to socialize with other Nomads, Marrakesh is probably the best.
Morocco is still the ideal place for those looking for destinations where the Digital Nomad community is not big, allowing you to immerse in the local culture, even more.
