Agadir

Enjoy The Neverending Beaches Of Our Riu Agadir Hotels

Bathed by the waters of the Atlantic, but sheltered from its currents by a bay, the beach extending from our Agadir hotel resorts is one of the most popular in Morocco. If we add the hospitality of the locals, the wealth of its culture and the wonderful oases found inland, we get Morocco's main tourist destination, where you can relax without losing sight of the legendary charm of Arab culture.

A Stunning Pair Of Agadir Morocco Hotels
On the sea front of Agadir Beach, bathed by the waters of the Atlantic, lie our majestic Agadir Morocco hotels, where you can discover oases of palm trees and never-ending beaches of white sand, and enjoy the convenience of the "All-Inclusive" system.

Agadir beach

The bay of the same name protects this wonderful beach from the strong Atlantic currents. Its more than 10km of golden sand make it one of the best beaches in the country. Here you can bathe in the immense ocean, or enjoy the different water sports the ClubHotel Riu Tikida Dunas puts at your disposal: windsurfing, bodyboarding, water scooters, etc.
Following the seafront promenade that covers the whole bay, you will reach the centre of Agadir. Its restaurants and bars are very popular with tourists and locals, creating a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

Horse riding

There is no more fun way of exploring the coast of Agadir. Riding along the seemingly endless beach that stretches unspoilt to the south, you will be able to escape and enjoy the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean. There are also a number of excursions through the ochre-coloured lands of the interior, steeped in Arab mysticism.

Golf

Golf du Soleil: Set between the waves of the Atlantic and the Anti-Atlas, this course will surprise you with a broad variety of vegetation: eucalyptuses, palm trees, pine trees and various species of cactus. Its slight undulations and numerous water traps and cascades will challenge your technique. At the end of the day, you will be able to relax over a mint tea in the elegant, Arab-style clubhouse.

Shopping

The Arab souks exude humanity, dynamism and unparalleled activity. Agadir souk is a splendid place for strolling, enjoying the atmosphere and naturally, for shopping. Here you will find numerous handmade crafts such as shoes, embroidery, copper and iron objects, perfumes, spices, djellabas and much more. As in any Arab market, bargaining is the order of the day. Don't be shy and haggle, the stallholders will appreciate it, as its part of their culture.

In the Craft Complex you can see how the master craftsmen transmit their ancient knowledge to their pupils. The different trades are divided into workshops: precious metal working, dressmaking and tailoring, embroidering, leather working and iron forging, among others. Although it's not a market, you will be able to order made-to-measure garments.

Specialities

Agadir's huge fishing fleet supplies the town with sardines, anchovies, squid, grouper, swordfish, prawns, lobsters and other delicacies from the sea on a daily basis. And you will find that none of the dishes indispensable to Moroccan cuisine are lacking, either, such as tajines and couscous.
The delicious mint tea or fruit juices accompany any traditional breakfast, lunch or dinner to perfection.

The Kasbah

It used to be the most populated area of Agadir until the great earthquake of 1960 put an end to its splendour. Although it's currently in ruins, it still preserves certain elements from better days. The top of its walls offer privileged views of the bustling port and the new town.

The port

The world's leading sardine-fishing port overflows with activity. On the quayside some mend nets, others haggle over catches and still more prepare to go out and fish on the numerous fishing boats moored here. The quay is lined with taverns where you can eat on long shared tables and witness this spectacle every day.
And don't miss the shipyard either, the industrial heart of the port, where the eucalyptus wood boats are built.

The Medina

Despite being a modern construction, this area faithfully recreates the architecture and atmosphere of a traditional medina. Its cobbled alleys, arches and finely decorated façades are a tribute to Arab tradition.
Conceived by the Italian architect Coco Polizzi, it's also a centre for crafts with numerous workshops where you will see artisans work on leather, glass, wood and stone. After a wander around this picturesque area, you can enjoy a refreshing drink in one of its pleasant bars, under the shade of a palm tree.

Tamraght Valley

Whatever you do, don't forget to reserve a day to make this trip and penetrate the ochre-coloured lands of the valley of the river Tamraght. Also known as "Paradise Valley", palm trees give way to picturesque adobe villages in its deep ravines. In the deepest part of the canyon, presided over by the white village of Immouzzer Ida Ou Tanana, a small oasis lies hidden, with beautiful, ephemeral waterfalls that carry water in the rainy season.
