Agadir Holidays

Feel the North African heat in Agadir, the Moroccan major city that has something for everyone. If you’re seeking a beachy break, you’ll find a peaceful spot of shore on the sands of Plage d’Agadir. History buffs will appreciate the unique museums and architecture. Plus, for the evenings, the variety of bars and clubs in the city cater to all tastes. With a spacious beach, delicious food and fantastic nightlife you can enjoy the Moroccan sunshine in whichever way you please in this wonderful seaside town.

Beaches
A spacious stretch of shore, Plage d’Agadir is a whopping 10km of luscious golden sand. A perfect space for sunbathing, the crescent-shaped beach features sun loungers to rent and space for those who simply lay a towel down and relax. Throughout summer, a great selection of beach games and watersports are available on the beach. A lovely range of bars and restaurants are along the promenade, perfect for food and drinks in between sunbathing.

Food & Drink
When you think of Moroccan cuisine, you may just think of couscous. However, the North African country offers an abundance of tastes and textures throughout its dishes. Tagines are largely used for Moroccan cooking, mainly to make casseroles typically made with meat, vegetables, dried fruit, spices and nuts. A lovely vegetable-based dish to try is zaalouk, made from cooked aubergines and tomatoes. As a coastal town, Agadir also boasts delicious seafood, and Le Blancs is a highly recommended restaurant to sample delightful fresh fish dishes.

Culture
Take in the culture of Agadir at La Medina d’Agadir, a collection of beautifully designed buildings hosting art workshops, studios and an ethnological museum. Another museum to visit is the Memoire d’Agadir, a quaint museum displaying the past of Agadir and showing the time around the ‘great earthquake’ in 1960, the most destructive earthquake in Moroccan history. As a predominantly Muslim country, Morocco also features some stunning mosques to see. Due to this, you may want to keep in mind your clothing, as it is respectful to locals to be modestly dressed.

Nightlife
Whether you prefer to spend the evening enjoying quiet drinks or love to dance ‘til you drop, Agadir has a wonderful range of nightlife options to suit you. Over on Avenue Hassan II, there is a selection of cafes and restaurants for a peaceful evening out. Those who love a night out on the tiles can head to Flamingo Oriental Night Club or Papagayo Night Club to dance to the hottest hits until the early morning. Feeling fancy? The So Lounge is an exclusive club with chic interiors and a fabulous ambience.
