Agadir travel guide
Agadir's golden beach stretches for more than ten kilometres along the Atlantic, backed by a lively seafront promenade lined with cafes and shops. The sand is wide and gentle, perfect for long walks, sunbathing and paddling at sunset. Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa sits right on the beach in the Bay of Palms, while The View Agadir and Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort offer relaxed, comfortable resort stays close to the sea and sand.
Agadir offers a pleasing mix of seaside leisure and Moroccan character. Stroll the promenade, browse the shops around the marina, or lose an afternoon among the stalls of Souk El Had, one of the largest markets in the country with around six thousand small shops. Surfers head north to Taghazout, famed for its beaches and surf. Cafes along the bay suit sunset. After a busy day, return to The View Agadir for a relaxing evening.
The story of modern Agadir begins on 29 February 1960, when an earthquake nearly destroyed the city. It was rebuilt a short distance further south, giving it the wide boulevards and open feel you see today. High above the bay, the restored walls of the sixteenth century Kasbah remain, offering sweeping views over the port and the wide blue Atlantic. Many guests happily combine a visit with a stay at Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort.
Beyond the resort beaches, Agadir is a gateway to striking Moroccan landscapes. About seventy kilometres to the south, Souss-Massa National Park protects coastal dunes, wetlands and rare birdlife. To the north-east, Paradise Valley winds through palm groves, rock pools and dramatic gorges, ideal for a day of gentle walking and swimming. Return to Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa, where a thalassotherapy institute helps tired legs recover and relax after a full day of exploring.
Agadir suits travellers who enjoy comfort and wellbeing. Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa features a thalassotherapy institute, a hammam and a cryotherapy pool, with treatment cabins set across five themed zones. Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort offers a spa with traditional Moroccan rituals and Asian inspired therapies, while The View Agadir provides another refined base for your stay. Together they make indulgent holidays by the Atlantic easy to plan and simple to enjoy too.
Dining in Agadir blends Moroccan tradition with French influence and the flavours of the Atlantic coast. Expect fragrant tagines, flaky pastilla, couscous and sweet mint tea, alongside plenty of fresh seafood. Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort offers several restaurants and bars serving Moroccan, French and eastern cuisine, giving guests real and welcome variety, while Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa and The View Agadir provide further choice for relaxed evenings after a long day outdoors.
Agadir is a charming setting for couples seeking time together in the sunshine. Walk hand in hand along the promenade at dusk, share mint tea in the souk, or unwind side by side with a spa treatment. Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa brings beachfront calm and a hammam, while The View Agadir and Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort provide elegant, peaceful settings for honeymoons, anniversaries and truly special celebrations by the Atlantic shore together.
Families will find Agadir easy and enjoyable, with a long, gentle beach and warm weather for much of the year. Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort has a Kids Villa with activities for all ages, giving parents time to relax. Younger guests will also enjoy the seafront promenade and marina, while Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa and The View Agadir offer comfortable surroundings for memorable holidays with the whole family together, whatever the season brings.
