Rebuilt after 1960, Agadir is Morocco's beach resort: 10 km of crescent beach, a bay ranked among the world's most beautiful, and the Souss hinterland of argan trees and Taghazout surf.
Don't miss
The beach & promenade
10 km of fine sand, lifeguarded and lined with cafés. Sunshine almost guaranteed year-round.
Agadir Oufella kasbah
The hilltop ramparts — cable car up, and a total view of the bay, best at sunset.
Souk El Had
3,000 stalls behind ochre walls: argan, spices, basketry. The great market of the Souss.
Taghazout & Paradise Valley
30 minutes away: the country's most famous surf village and the natural pools of the gorges.
What to eat
Fish from the port (grilled sardines, royal sea bream), amlou (argan-almond-honey paste) at breakfast, and the Souss's Berber tagines.
The Veyama tip
Climb to the kasbah an hour before sunset, then have dinner at the port rather than on the promenade: half the price, twice as good.
Where to eat
Our favourite tables — renowned addresses picked by the team. Want a reservation? Tick “restaurants” when booking your hotel.
Pure Passion
Fine dining facing the marina yachts — the special-occasion spot.
Daffy
The locals' favourite in Talborjt: generous tagines at gentle prices.
Le Jardin d'Eau
A safe bet downtown: grilled fish and fresh salads under the trees.
