About Agadir
Morocco’s Coastal Paradise
Agadir is one of Morocco’s most popular seaside destinations, located on the Atlantic coast in the south of the country. Known for its mild climate, long sandy beaches, and relaxed atmosphere, Agadir is an ideal destination for beach lovers, families, and travelers seeking comfort and sunshine all year round.
The city is famous for its wide golden beach, stretching for several kilometers and offering excellent conditions for swimming, sunbathing, surfing, and water sports. The seaside promenade is lined with cafés, restaurants, and hotels, making it perfect for leisurely walks and ocean views.
Overlooking the city is the Agadir Oufella Kasbah, a historic fortress that offers panoramic views of the bay, the harbor, and the modern city below. Although much of the old city was destroyed by the 1960 earthquake, Agadir was rebuilt with modern infrastructure, wide roads, and a well-organized urban layout.

The city is known for its modern resorts, wellness centers, and traditional hammams, offering relaxation and luxury experiences. Agadir’s calm lifestyle and friendly atmosphere make it especially attractive for long stays and family vacations.
Beyond the city, travelers can discover beautiful natural attractions such as Paradise Valley, coastal villages, and the Souss Massa National Park, home to diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes.
With its sunshine, ocean breeze, modern comfort, and cultural richness, Agadir offers a perfect balance between relaxation, nature, and authentic Moroccan experiences.
