With its enviable setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Agadir is a deservedly popular beach destination in Morocco. Its long sweep of golden sand is backed by a breezy promenade, lined with relaxed restaurants where you can feast in between surfing, sun-baking and sandcastle building.
But what’s better than having the ocean at your doorstep? Being able to enjoy all the benefits of a beachside vacation while staying at a hotel with a pool where you can retreat when the action all gets too much. While I 100% consider myself an ocean person and begin almost every day with a surf, I also love being able to kick back beside a pool with a good book - that’s when I really feel like I’m on holiday!
So with that in mind, I’ve curated a list of 7 of the best hotels in Agadir with a pool to help you plan the ultimate beach vacation in Morocco. To ensure all tastes are catered for, I’ve included everything from wellness retreats to family-friendly resorts and traditional riad hotels.
