Agadir hotels

Located on the beachfront and close to the city centre, this is one of the best hotels in Agadir for ocean views. Its contemporary design and creative culinary offerings attract a young and trendy crowd. Chill at the relaxed pool bar or treat yourself to innovative fine dining at Le Sensya, the on-site modern Italian restaurant that serves fresh pasta and grills under a Michelin-star chef.

I love the elegant beach house vibes created by the use of natural materials – think stone and wood with white, blue and pastel tones – and the large outdoor pool weaving through lush gardens with tall palm trees offering natural shade.

This is one of the top-rated hotels in Agadir, popular for its service and state of the art facilities. My favourite is the 1,500 sqm Amaya Spa, which I love for its indoor heated pool and authentic Moroccan hammam rituals.

This is one of the original boutique hotels in Agadir’s Imi Ouaddar, a fishing village 25 km north of the city. It’s one of the best hotels in Agadir for those who value peace and small resort vibes. The spacious suites and bungalows come with well-equipped kitchenettes and a private balcony or terrace.

I caught my first waves on the beginner-friendly surf in front of the hotel and I love the beachfront yoga studio with floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the ocean, where daily yoga classes take place. Families are well-catered for too with a packed activity programme for kids.

Choose between fine dining or laid-back beach vibes at Chiringuito Beach Bar, where you can find poke bowls and fresh seafood by day, and fire pits and outdoor movie screenings at night.

One of the most unique hotels in Agadir, this luxury riad – a traditional Moroccan home with a central courtyard – is packed with charm and local artisan details. I love the ornate mosaic tiles, colourful hand-woven rugs and speckled effect brass lanterns. The exotic gardens house an abundance of succulents, rare flowers and tall trees, as well as a pretty swimming pool.

Located 200 m from the beach in Founty, an upmarket area of Agadir, each of the 28 elegant guestrooms are unique, with spacious suites offering large private balconies and views over nearby dunes and Agadir Bay.

It’s one of the best hotels in Agadir for discreet luxury and privacy. Fine dining is offered in one of three atmospheric dining rooms, with chandeliers, fireplaces and a poolside terrace. The spa, meanwhile, has an indoor heated pool, hot tub, traditional luxury hammam, six treatment rooms and a private area for couples.

This is a great spot if you like individual bungalow-style accommodations. Their one- and two-bedroom cabanas are scattered throughout lush gardens, complete with modern interiors, amenities and private terraces.

Right on Panorama Beach, this is one of the best hotels in Agadir for location and the closest resort hotel to Taghazout village. An on-site Surf Academy offers high-quality watersports equipment and coaching, with waves in front of the hotel. Daily activities are planned, including yoga by the outdoor pool and beach volleyball.

The private beach area has sun loungers, parasols and a stylish beach bar restaurant called La Brise. I love to sit here, cocktail in hand, feet in the sand, and afterwards walk along the beachfront promenade to Taghazout for a sunset dinner.

This is hands down one of the most fancy hotels in Agadir. Situated in the heart of Taghazout Bay, right on the beachfront, there are 153 guestrooms, suites and villas to choose from – for the best views, check out the contemporary-styled ocean-facing rooms.

You’re spoilt for choice here, with three outdoor pools, three indoor pools, three bars and six innovative restaurants boasting luxury dining and celebrated international chefs. I love sunsets on the terrace at Tapa, where you can pair Moroccan and international wines with tapas.

Other state-of-the-art facilities include the Fairmont Spa, with its luxurious treatment suites, and a fitness and yoga studio offering private or group classes. The kids’ club is a fun, interactive space for little ones. The hotel is also a five-minute drive to Taghazout Bay golf club, or you can hire bikes and cycle to Taghazout.

Tikida Golf Palace is a peaceful boutique hotel in Agadir, ideal for golf and nature enthusiasts. Just a 30-minute drive from the airport, it’s tucked away in a eucalyptus forest, with two 18-hole golf courses nearby.

The hotel’s 54 elegant and spacious suites either overlook the pool or a nearby golf course. The decor here is classically Moroccan, with a contemporary twist – as is their La Table du Golf restaurant, where authentic Moroccan cuisine is served in a sophisticated dining room.

This is one of the best hotels in Agadir for relaxation, where you can spend your days lounging poolside, on the golf course, or visiting the spa for cleansing hammam rituals and a hydrotherapy pool. The hotel is also close to the Souss Massa National Park, a wildlife reserve offering half-day safaris.

RIU Palace Tikida Taghazout is a popular choice if you’re looking for a comprehensive all-inclusive package. It’s set in a prime beachfront location in Taghazout Bay, within short walking distance of Taghazout village.

With 504 spacious guestrooms, it’s one of the largest luxury hotels in Agadir. The well-manicured gardens are vast, and there’s also a private beach as well as several pools, including an indoor one for winter and a swim-up bar. A selection of daily activities are available, with RiuLand kids’ club, Riufit group fitness, Tikida Spa, live music and entertainment.

Plentiful dining options include a breakfast buffet with cooking stations for eggs and pancakes. It’s worth noting that formal dress is required for dinner, and there are seven bars to choose from, with alcohol included in the rate.

Perched on top of a hill with commanding views of the surrounding countryside, this is one of the most unique hotels in Agadir. Yet despite its rural setting, the Kasbah is just 5 km from the city centre. An authentic kasbah – meaning castle – it’s constructed from ochre earth and wood.

Here you can explore argan forests on foot or mountain bike, and join cultural courses such as cookery, calligraphy, and pottery. Choose from nine guestrooms and three suites – family suites offer space for groups with two separate bedrooms. I love the simple furnishings, which include hand-carved chairs, hand-painted trunks, and locally woven cushions and rugs.

This is one of the best hotels in Agadir for being in nature, relaxing by a saltwater pool, or simply enjoying the views from your terrace. The on-site restaurant serves authentic Moroccan recipes with a focus on local, seasonal dishes. Vegetarians and vegans are well-catered for too.

One of the best hotels in Agadir, ocean views are in abundance here, with the main hotel buildings designed to maximise the Atlantic Ocean panorama out front. This wide u-shape design is mirrored by the outdoor pool that flows through the centre of the property. Stepping stones cross the pool leading onto Taghazout Bay beach.

The hotel’s 190 guestrooms and suites are contemporary and light, with a neutral palette of soft beige, grey and teal. The suite choices are particularly indulgent, with Pool Villa Suites offering a private garden and pool.

There’s a beach club for sunset and a pool bar, and we sometimes treat ourselves to Sud KM17 for Mediterranean fine dining close to the ocean.

The ILEL Spa has a hammam, sauna and treatment rooms, while there’s also a beachfront yoga/Pilates space, watersports rental, beach volleyball and padel court.

Dar Maktoub translates as ‘written in the stars’, and many have fallen under the charm of this riad. It’s a peaceful nature retreat close to the city’s quieter beaches, nature reserves and golf courses. Sitting by the pretty outdoor pool in peaceful gardens, you’re surrounded by nature.

With just 10 guestrooms, it’s one of the few boutique hotels in Agadir that offers refined elegance and personalised service. An à la carte French-Moroccan menu is served in the hotel’s bright dining room, where floor-to-ceiling glass walls open onto leafy gardens.

Golfers can choose from four different golf courses and the hotel offers packages tailored to your level and requirements. The entrance to the Souss Massa National Park is a 10-minute drive from the hotel, where you can enjoy a safari to spot gazelles, ostriches and oryx in their natural habitat.
