Agadir Holidays

Agadir Holidays; where the Atlas Mountains meet the Atlantic, 300 days of sun a year, beaches that go on forever, and tagines so good you'll want the recipe.

Highlights of your holidays in Agadir

• Year-round sunshine - With over 300 sunny days a year and summer temperatures hitting 28-30°C, Agadir is one of the sunniest spots in North Africa and barely has an off-season.

• 10 km beach - Agadir's main beach stretches for a whopping 10 kilometres of golden sand, backed by a palm-lined promenade and the kind of sunsets that make you reach for your phone every single time.

• Moroccan food scene - Tagines, couscous, fresh seafood grills on the marina, pastilla, mint tea served with an alarming amount of sugar (you'll love it). The food here is proper good and seriously affordable.

• Atlas Mountain day trips - Paradise Valley is about an hour away, think natural rock pools, palm groves, and that smug feeling of posting waterfall selfies while your mates are at work.

• Souk El Had - One of the biggest souks in North Africa, with over 6,000 shops selling everything from saffron to leather bags. Haggling is practically a sport here (and yes, you're expected to join in).

• Surf and watersports - The Agadir coastline is a magnet for surfers, jet-skiers, and anyone who fancies a go on a banana boat. Nearby Taghazout is world-famous for its waves.

Good to Know

• ☀️ Weather - Summer highs of 28-30°C with barely a cloud in sight, and even winter stays mild at 18-21°C. The Atlantic breeze keeps it comfortable when the rest of Morocco is scorchio.

• 💶 Money - A sit-down meal runs about £3-£4 / €4-€5, a local beer is £2 / €2-€3, and a mint tea (the national drink, basically) is under £1 / €1. Your spending money goes a seriously long way here.

• 🐪 Fun Fact - Agadir was almost entirely rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1960, which is why the city looks so modern compared to other Moroccan cities. The hilltop Kasbah ruins are the only major structure that survived, and the inscription up there reads "God, Country, King" in Arabic.

What are the best beaches to visit on your Agadir holidays?

Holidays to Agadir are all about big, big waves and breezy shores, which can mean only one thing: watersports, baby! But even if you'd rather plonk down a towel and not move an inch (we feel ya), there are plenty of beach spots 'round these parts to give you those laidback coastal vibes. Give these a whirl:

• Agadir Beach - duh, we couldn't not mention this one. It's the main event, decked out with sun loungers and watersport facilities, and backed by a promenade lined with cafés and shops

• Taghazout Beach - located to the north of the city with a laidback, hippy charm, this place is an absolute surf haven if you fancy riding the waves

• Imourane Beach - close to Taghazout, this stretch is a bit less crowded and known for its laidback surf scenes and killer sunsets

• Tiguert Bay - if you want to avoid the crowds, this beach is a fave with the wellness crowd - come along for some peace and quiet, or a cheeky horseback ride at sunset

• Sidi R'bat - a cool and calm spot that's popular with the local twitchers, thanks to the diverse bird population that tends to hang around here

• Banana Point - a gorg stretch of beach that's another great surf spot, offering camel and buggy rides if that's your bag

• Imi Ouadder Beach - this sand spot is lesser-known by tourists, making it the ideal uncrowded setting for a chilled beach day or a peaceful surf, followed by a trip to the local markets and souks

• Anza Beach - there are over 6km of golden sands to flop onto here, perfect for a spot of sunbathing or a cheeky beach stroll, and the constant waves make it another prime spot for surfers, too!

All Inclusive Holidays To Agadir

Agadir's beachfront strip is packed with all-inclusive resorts, and the value here is hard to beat. Year-round sunshine, low local prices, and hotels that genuinely deliver on the "everything included" promise make it a destination where the all-inclusive format makes perfect sense and there are so many great All Inclusive options to choose from in Agadir.

Most of the big beachfront hotels run packages covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and drinks (including local alcoholic drinks at most resorts). Your daily spend at the hotel drops to basically zero, which frees up your budget for day trips to Paradise Valley, a surf lesson at Taghazout, or a haggling spree at Souk El Had.

The all-inclusive setup works especially well for families (kids eat and drink all day without a running tab) and groups (nobody has to work out who owes what).

• La, la (لا), No (handy when the souk sellers are persistent)

• Iyeh, EE-yeh (إيه), Yes

• Bshhal, bsh-HAL (بشحال), How much? (your most-used word at Souk El Had)

Agadir Holidays 2026/2027 - Travel Guide

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families

• Crocoparc - An interactive crocodile park about 15 minutes from the centre, with over 300 Nile crocodiles, a cactus garden, and enough reptiles to keep kids fascinated for a solid half-day. Educational and genuinely impressive.

• Souk El Had - Take the kids for the sensory overload of Agadir's enormous market. The spice section smells amazing, the fresh juice stalls do the best orange juice you've ever had for pennies, and haggling is a life skill they'll thank you for later.

• Paradise Valley day trip - About an hour into the foothills of the Anti-Atlas, this is a series of natural rock pools and waterfalls surrounded by palm trees. Bring swimwear and a picnic, the pools are swimmable and the kids will not want to leave.

• Agadir beach and promenade - The main beach is shallow and sandy with gentle waves, perfect for building sandcastles and splashing. The promenade has ice cream shops, playground areas, and enough distractions to fill a full afternoon.

• Marina d'Agadir - The modern marina has boat trips (including glass-bottom boats), waterfront restaurants, and a pleasant evening stroll. A fun change of pace from the beach.

💑 Couples

• Sunset at the Kasbah - The ruined hilltop fortress above the city is the best sunset spot in Agadir. The views sweep across the whole bay and the "God, Country, King" inscription glows in the evening light. Bring a camera and someone you like.

• Argan oil spa experience - Agadir is the heartland of argan oil production. Book a traditional hammam and argan oil massage at one of the hotel spas or in the medina, it's a properly indulgent couples' experience and costs a fraction of what you'd pay back home.

• Dinner at the marina - The Marina d'Agadir has a string of waterfront restaurants serving fresh-caught fish, Moroccan cuisine, and international dishes. Grab a table overlooking the boats as the sun goes down.

• Day trip to Essaouira - The walled port city of Essaouira is about 2.5 hours north and feels like stepping back in time. Blue-shuttered streets, art galleries, an atmospheric fishing harbour, and a relaxed bohemian atmosphere that's perfect for a day exploring together.

• Vallee des Oiseaux - Agadir's small botanical garden and aviary in the centre of town. It's free, shaded, and a peaceful spot for a morning wander before the day heats up.

🎉 Groups

• Quad biking in the dunes - Multiple operators run quad bike and buggy tours through the sand dunes and along the coast south of Agadir. Loud, dusty, and exactly the sort of thing that ends up as the holiday highlight reel.

• Surf lessons at Taghazout - Even if nobody in the group has surfed before, the beginner waves at Taghazout are forgiving and the surf schools are well set up. It's about 20 minutes north and a brilliant group day out.

• Marina evening out - Start with sundowners at one of the marina bars, move on to seafood at a waterfront restaurant, and finish at one of the late-night spots along the strip. The marina-to-nightlife pipeline is a well-worn group route for good reason.

• Camel ride on the beach - It's a bit touristy, yes, but riding a camel along Agadir beach at sunset is one of those things you just have to do. The group photos alone are worth it.

• Day trip to Paradise Valley - Works even better with a group because you can hire a minibus, pack a cool box, and make a full day of swimming in the natural rock pools. Beats lying by the hotel pool (no offence to the hotel pool).
