Where to Stay in Agadir
The beachfront and Founty is where most resorts are, along the bay and the promenade. You can walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants.
The city center puts you close to the Souk El Had market and the marina, still within walking distance of the beach.
Taghazout, about 20 minutes north, is the surf village. It has a different feel from Agadir, and we cover it in its own guide.
Tips for Booking a Resort in Agadir
- Check whether the rate is all inclusive or breakfast only, as many resorts offer both.
- Ask for a sea-view room if the view matters to you.
- Book early for school holidays and summer, when Agadir is busiest.
- Confirm whether the beach is private or public in front of the resort.
