Top Golf Stays in Agadir

Tikida Golf Palace in Agadir offers a large outdoor swimming pool, spacious suites with views of the greens and a spa with a hammam and heated pool. Suites give families room to spread out, and a complimentary shuttle runs to the beach, which solves the day out. Direct golf course access suits a golfing parent. I would recommend it for a relaxed resort stay, backed by a 9.2 rating from 800 reviews.

Ocean Atlantic View suits families who want space and a kitchenette: units are spacious, with a separate seating area, free WiFi and either sea or pool views, and many have a private terrace or balcony. The beach is a five-minute stroll and the town centre ten minutes on foot. There is an outdoor pool, plus a sauna, a hammam and a beauty salon. Guests rate it 9 out of 10 across 1,808 reviews.

Hola Surf Morocco is an apartment address an 8-minute walk from Taghazout Beach, north of Agadir, which suits families who want to cook their own meals. Each apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom and air conditioning, handy with children who eat at odd hours. The sun terrace gives space to rest after the beach, and evening entertainment and a concierge are on hand. Parking is off site. Guests rate it 8.9 out of 10 over 442 reviews.

The Petit Prince Kids Club makes the Sofitel Thalassa work for families better than its spa name suggests: children get their own games and creative activities, the private beach saves the walk to a public stretch of sand, and one of the two outdoor pools is heated all year, which matters on the Atlantic coast where the sea stays cool. Parents can take turns at the Institut Thalassa. What it is not: a place to discover Moroccan architecture or old streets. Agadir was rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, and this is a modern beach resort; for medina life, add a few nights in Essaouira or Marrakech.

Amadil Ocean Club is a four-star beachfront hotel in Agadir with direct access to a sandy beach, so children can go from the sand to one of the two pools in minutes. Rooms are air-conditioned with traditional Moroccan decor, a flat-screen TV and sea views. Two restaurants make meals simple, and parents can use the spa, its beauty treatments or the fitness centre, then finish at the piano bar. Guests rate it 8.7 out of 10 over 4,956 reviews.

Le Riad Villa Blanche is 400 metres from Agadir Beach, close enough for a morning on the sand with children and lunch back at the hotel. It has two pools: an outdoor one for the afternoon and an indoor one in the spa, alongside a hot tub and a hammam, useful on cooler days. The restaurant serves Moroccan and French cuisine. Some rooms and suites have private balconies or terraces. It is a boutique address rather than a big resort. Guests rate it 8.6 out of 10.

Kitchenettes and balconies in the family rooms are why I would book Surf One Hotel with children in Agadir: snacks and light meals happen in the room, and some balconies face the sea or the mountains. The restaurant serves Italian and Moroccan dishes with halal, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options, which covers most dietary needs. The sun terrace and lounge give space to relax, and free private parking helps a family travelling by car.

For a family stay in Agadir, I would pick Résidence Hotelière Fleurie for its studios and apartments with kitchenettes, which make breakfasts and simple dinners easy with children. Each unit is air-conditioned and has a balcony and satellite TV. The outdoor pool gives everyone somewhere to cool off, the spa with a hammam suits parents, and the beach is about a 10-minute walk away. A guest score of 8.5 from more than 4,300 reviews backs up the choice.

Studiotel Afoud suits families who want to self-cater in Agadir. Each studio apartment is air-conditioned with cable TV and a private terrace or balcony, and the self-catering setup makes meals easy to fit around children's routines. The beach is about 900 metres away, and the commercial centre is close for shopping. Parents can book the spa-hammam, and the restaurant and coffee shop are there when nobody wants to cook. I would recommend it, with a guest score of 8.4 from more than 3,100 reviews.

This is a hotel built around families. Children are split into three clubs by age, 4 to 7, 8 to 12 and 13 to 17, alongside a playground, a shallow children's pool and an entertainment team that reviewers praise, and the all-inclusive formula means children eat when they are hungry without a bill to sign. The limits are real, though. Reviewers point out that the main pools can be deep for weak swimmers and children. For a beach week in Morocco with children and no meals to plan, I would book it; for a couple seeking calm, I would look elsewhere.

Atlantic Hotel Agadir is central, a ten-minute walk from the beach, which lets families alternate sand and pool without a car. The outdoor pool and two terraces give children room in the afternoon, and the buffet breakfast makes mornings simple. The restaurant serves Moroccan cuisine, a gentle introduction for young travellers. Rooms are straightforward, with tiled floors, satellite TV and en suite bathrooms. With 8.3 out of 10 from more than 2,100 reviews, it is a dependable choice in Agadir.

Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort is a five-star resort with a kids' club, which is the clearest sign that families are expected. There is an outdoor pool open all year, a garden, a spa and a fitness centre. Air-conditioned rooms have sea views, and the property has a restaurant, a bar, free WiFi and private parking. Guests rate it 7.8 out of 10 across 652 reviews.
