Sally’s Bed & Breakfast €€
( 0528 71 94 02, 0661 46 98 88; www.sallymirleft.com; Les Amicales; r incl breakfast
Dh600-800) Created by a horse-loving Englishwoman, Sally, this gorgeous cliff-top villa above
Imin Tourga, one of Mirleft’s largest and cleanest beaches, and has breathtaking views up the
coast. With six en-suite rooms and antiques decorating the lounge, it’s a stylish and comfortable
hideaway.
Hôtel Abertih €
( 0528 71 93 04, 0672 22 58 72; www.abertih.com; r per person incl breakfast with/without
bathroom Dh120/150; ) Looking like it popped out of a Cubist painting, blue-and-yellow
Abertih is equally colourful inside, where open courtyards lead to five rooms on two levels. The
ground-floor bar-restaurant (meals Dh100) is less vibrant following a change of ownership, but
this remains a good option, popular with paragliding groups.
Hôtel Atlas €
( 0528 71 93 09; www.atlas-mirleft.com, in French; r per person incl breakfast without/with
shower Dh120/150; ) Recommended by readers, Atlas has a 1st-floor balcony, palatial roof
terrace and rooms entered from a corridor open to the elements. The blue-shuttered rooms are
on the bare side of rustic and some bars of soap would be welcome in the bathrooms.
Nonetheless, it’s a relaxing hang-out with one of Mirleft’s best restaurants.
Eating
Apart from excellent restaurants at the above hotels, cafes on the main street serve up some of
the tonnes of fresh fish that get caught here.
Restaurant Ayour €
( 0528 71 91 71; meals Dh85) Squeezed between the souq and Hôtel Atlas, cosy Ayour is
one of Mirleft’s best stand-alone restaurants. It’s slightly overpriced but serves dishes including
pastilla .
Restaurant Tigmi €
( 0670 70 60 43; meals Dh70) Readers recommend this friendly, family-run restaurant with a
small terrace near Hôtel Abertih. Dishes include dromedary rib steak.
Getting There & Away
Grands taxis run to Sidi Ifni (Dh10) and Tiznit (Dh13). For most destinations, including
Goulimime, it’s easiest to go to Tiznit and change there. There’s a morning bus to Agadir
(Dh30).
