Golf Du Soleil

Tucked away between the satellite city of Dcheira El Jihadia and the Sous River, Golf du Soleil is an exclusive place to stay in Agadir’s south. This upmarket residential area is famed for its two stunning 18-hole golf courses designed by Fernando Muella and Gerard Courbin. Backed by the Atlas Mountains, the meticulously manicured fairways and greens will appeal to golfers of all experience levels, with manmade lakes and waterfalls adding to the tranquility.

Golf du Soleil is blessed with almost guaranteed sunshine and temperatures that hover between the high-70s and low-80s.

Taghazout

Surrounded by world-class surf breaks, Taghazout has become one of the most sought-after areas to stay for travelers visiting southern Morocco. It lies just 20 kilometres north of Agadir but feels a world away, with the city’s high-rise hotels giving way to traditional Moroccan buildings. Once just a small fishing village, Taghazout flourished with the arrival of surfers in the 1970s and watching wave riders take on La Source and Killer Point remains a highlight today.

Colourful cafes and restaurants cluster in the village core while luxury resorts sprawl along the beach that extends to the south. When you’re not lazing on the sunkissed sands of Plage Taghazout, you can participate in yoga classes, go behind the scenes of an argan oil factory or explore the enchanting swimming holes of Paradise Valley. In the evening, surfers congregate to feast on freshly caught seafood hauled in that morning by local fishermen.

Tamraght

Perched atop a hill between Taghazout and Aourir, Tamraght is a quiet village that retains a distinctly local feel. It offers sweeping views across Plage Imourane and the surf break of Kro Kro, as well as newly developed resorts catering to luxury clientele. Tamraght appeals to travellers looking for a laid-back atmosphere while being on the doorstep of world-class waves. There are plenty of places where you can rent a board or participate in pre and post-surf yoga classes.

Tamraght is home to just a handful of restaurants and cafes where you can watch football with the locals over a cup of mint tea. Small stores selling groceries and tagines line the streets, together with two mosques whose call to prayer marks the day. For a livelier atmosphere, you can make the 10-minute drive north to Taghazout or travel 20 minutes south to enjoy the pulsing nightlife of Agadir.
