Fancy joining us in Agadir? Then pick a resort to get a headstart on planning your North African adventure!
Beach perfection – Taghazout
On the search to get away from it all? Taghazout is your answer. A 30-minute drive from bustling Agadir, in fact takes you miles away from the buzz and into the clasp of calmness and relaxation. This low-key fishing village boasts a gorgeous coast lapped by Atlantic waves that attract surfers. It’s the most popular thing to do here – try your hand at surfing! If lazing on the beach sounds more like your thing, watch the pros and beginners turn the ocean into their playground from the soft sands. And what do you know – you might get persuaded to try wave-riding yourself!
If you manage to peel yourself away from the sweeping sands, explore the quaint village and get to know the true Moroccan lifestyle – we’re talking aromatic flavour swirls in your mouth, magic lamps and colourful souvenirs in the markets.
Now, if you're up for an adventure, hike the nearby Paradise Valley, an oasis of natural pools and waterfalls. Let’s just say it has the word ‘paradise’ in the name for a reason. We’ll let you see the rest for yourself…
Family-favourite – Imi Ouaddar
The charming village of Imi Ouddar is a Moroccan gem waiting to dazzle you and your gang! Plenty of activities, contrasting nature and a generous slice of coastline await in this often-overlooked resort.
The life here revolves around the coast. Parents, take a break with a book in hand while the little ones turn the beach sands into a magical kingdom of their own. Surfing here’s just as big of a thing as in Taghazout, so take a lesson if you’re an adventurous bunch!
If you want to explore the life beneath the waves, snorkelling is a must. Dive into the crystal-clear waters and explore the underwater wildlife. It's like swimming in a real-life aquarium!
When you’ve had enough of the beach fun, it’s time for the dry land activities and there are plenty of those here too. Take up the Moroccan must-dos such as camel rides, quad biking or even strolling through the stalls of colourful markets in town.
Best of all worlds – Agadir
Now if quaint and quiet is not how you roll, Agadir will be a perfect match for you. Let's start with the obvious – the beach. Agadir's shoreline is a sunbather's dream, and the gentle waves make it perfect for swimming. Lounge on the sands, catch some rays, and if you're feeling fancy, sip on some cool cocktails. But Agadir isn't just about the beach. So, if you’re looking to laze by the ocean but take a real-life history lesson later in the day, the cultural repertoire here will not disappoint. Visit the vibrant Souk El Had market where the colours and aromas of Morocco come alive. And don't be shy about practicing your bargaining skills!
For history buffs, the Kasbah is a must-visit. This hilltop fortress offers a glimpse into the city's past, with stunning panoramic views as your reward for the climb. Lastly, let this city walk you through the menu of Moroccan cuisine. You simply can’t leave without trying a tagine and traditional mint tea. Oh, and don’t forget about day trips to the desert or the Atlas Mountains! We could go on and on…
