Set along a sweeping bay in southern Morocco, Agadir is perfect for solo travellers who want easy, sun-soaked independence. No chaotic medinas here – just a long stretch of golden sand for Atlantic swims, lazy days lounging beachside and feasting on freshly caught seafood with oceanfront views.
For solo travellers, Agadir is one of the most comfortable coastal bases in the country. It’s easily walkable, surprisingly modern and boasts some of Morocco’s best all-inclusive resorts. If you’re craving more of an active escape, just a short journey north lies Taghazout, a relaxed surf village that has become a favourite among solo surfers and digital nomads.
Unlike Morocco’s ancient imperial cities, Agadir has a more contemporary feel. After being rebuilt following the 1960 earthquake, it developed into a modern coastal city while still holding onto its Amazigh cultural identity.
This collection of Agadir travel guides is designed to help solo travellers experience the city with confidence. Inside, you’ll find practical advice on things to do, finding solo-friendly accommodation and making the most of your time in this modern Moroccan beach resort.
