Chilling out in Agadir Agadir is the number one beach resort in Morocco and a great place to end (or start) your Morocco trip. The endless boulevards lined with small restaurants and cafes are a great spot for people-watching and you can enjoy the hip and happening nightlife. Agadir is sun, sea and sand Moroccan style with a splash of the cosmopolitan Spanish costas. What better way to end your Morocco adventure than relaxing on Agadir beach with a good book and a fruity cocktail.On this Agadir beach tour, you’ll be staying in an authentic hotel located in a small side street on the boulevard. You’ll be right in the middle of it all, but without the noise, and the beach is less than 5 minutes walk away. If you would prefer to see Agadir as part of a longer Morocco holiday, take a look at our Morocco self drive itinerary. |

Day 1: Arrival AgadirDirectly on Agadir beach, you’ll find an endless chain of all-inclusive hotels. These aren't really our cup of tea, which is why we’ve chosen this small, charming hotel. If you’d prefer to be right on the beach then that's no problem. We’ve listed the beach side option at the bottom of this page. It’s a little more expensive, but it’s worth splashing out on if you’re looking for something more special.Once you’ve checked in, you can take a stroll along the boulevard or head straight to the beach. Most of the larger hotels in Agadir have a private beach, but there’s a wide stretch of sand between the hotel beaches and the sea. Just enjoy the next two days relaxing and chilling out on Agadir beach in Morocco - a lovely place to unwind after an active trip - and, in the evening, the boulevard is a great place to grab a bite to eat and watch the locals. |

Day 2: AgadirAgadir doesn’t really have any major sights, but the covered souks at the edge of the town centre are great to wander around for a couple of hours. The easiest way to get there is by petit taxi (about £1). The souks sell everything under the sun. Colourful fruit and vegetables are piled high and you'll find pyramids of sweet smelling herbs and spices that make your mouth water as you walk by.Just outside the city you'll find the souk Al Had (closed Mondays, main market day on Sundays). It’s more touristy and you’ll generally find more expensive items here. The real souk is more fun but if you’re on the hunt for souvenirs, the souks Al Had may be worth a visit. There’s also a miniature train every half hour for a tour through the town and Agadir beach. It’s great for kids, and a fun way to see the town. |

In the north of Agadir, at the furthest point of the beach, you’ll see a hilly plateau with white Arabic inscription. On top of the hill is the old kasbah and from the summit you’ll get some lovely views of the city, Agadir beach and harbour and beyond. It’s about 5 miles on foot, but a petit taxi will cost you around £1.50. Once you’ve walked back down to the bottom of the hill, you can cross the road and take a look at the harbour with the little wooden boats bobbing in the water. In the afternoon you can spend a couple more hours chilling on the beach or people-watching on the boulevard. For dinner you’ll be spoilt for choice. The restaurants offer everything from Italian to Chinese and - of course - traditional Moroccan food. For good, authentic Moroccan food, head to the Talborjt district behind the Boulevard Hassan II. Slightly more upmarket is Le Miramar, the restaurant at the Hotel Miramar on Boulevard Mohammed V, or the Yacht Club Restaurant du Port in the harbour. |
