Why Agadir

Agadir is Morocco's premier beach resort and the natural place to unwind at the end of a honeymoon: a sweeping crescent of golden sand, more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and a line of five-star beachfront resorts with thalassotherapy spas, golf and private cabanas. It is about sea, sun and slow days rather than old medinas — the perfect counterpoint to the cities and the desert. Beyond the loungers lie the bohemian surf coast of Taghazout just north and the palm-shaded turquoise pools of Paradise Valley in the Anti-Atlas behind, both an easy private day out.

What to see

Highlights of Agadir.

01

The golden bay & beach clubs

A 10 km crescent of sand with calm swimming, stylish beach clubs and one of Morocco's best seafront walks — long, lazy days with the spa never far away.

02

Taghazout & the surf coast

A bohemian surf village 20 minutes north — point breaks, yoga, argan co-ops and cliff-top cafés for a chic, low-key day by the ocean.

03

Paradise Valley

Palm-fringed turquoise pools and waterfalls in the Anti-Atlas, an hour inland — a romantic private picnic away from the resort crowds.

04

Kasbah Oufella at sunset

The hilltop fortress ruins, reached by cable car, with sweeping views over the bay and port — a fine spot for a sundowner together.

FAQ

Agadircommon questions.

Is Agadir worth visiting on a honeymoon?+

If you want to end the trip with sun, sea and a five-star spa rather than old-city atmosphere, very much so. Agadir is the country's best resort base, with reliable year-round sunshine, beachfront hotels and easy private days out to Taghazout and Paradise Valley.

Is Agadir or Essaouira better for couples?+

Agadir is sunnier, warmer and more resort-oriented, with the bigger beach and the best spa hotels; Essaouira is breezier but more atmospheric, with a historic medina and ramparts. Many couples combine both along the coast for the best of each.
