The Beach
The villa is situated on the beach, almost 60km long and virtually deserted except the occasional fishermen fishing from the shore.
The seaside village of Aglou (distance approx 3km) provides some amenities, including a grocery store,bakery and a variety of beach side restaurants. Down at the harbour, local fishermen sell fresh fish, squid, and lobster (seasonal)
A little further inland, the walled city of Tiznit serves as capital to the Berber people and is renowned for its silver market. The local Souks (markets) also sells fresh fruit, fish, vegetables, bread, meat and a variety spices and herbs.
Mirleft, a growing town 27km south of Aglou is overshadowed by a old French Fort and provides some authentic French Moroccan restaurants.
Mirleft has a charming local market every Monday.

Ornithologists
For keen ornithologists we have the National Park of Massa, a 35 minute drive from the villa and it is reputedly the BEST bird sanctuary in Morocco with over 250 different species of birds permanently living there or migrating through. Between the Park and Aglou is the only breeding ground of the very rare Bald Headed Ibis.
