The Agadir Kasbah on the hilltop above the modern city is all that remains of the original Agadir — the earthquake of 1960 that killed 15,000 people destroyed the city completely but left the 16th-century walls of the kasbah intact as an extraordinary ruin overlooking the Atlantic. The terrace within the ruined walls offers the finest panoramic view of Agadir Bay. Hotels in Agadir arrange taxi trips to the kasbah at sunset for the golden hour view over the sea.
The most refined hotel in Agadir, the Sofitel Thalassa combines the French group's luxury standards with a thalassotherapy spa using Atlantic seawater, a private beach, and a restaurant that is genuinely one of the best in Morocco for fresh Moroccan-Atlantic seafood. The suites with direct sea view are exceptional.
A contemporary mid-luxury option on the beachfront boulevard offering the Hyatt brand's reliable quality, a rooftop pool with Atlantic views, and the best-value beachfront breakfast in the city.
