What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a self-contained luxury resort set right on the beach, and makes much of its French heritage, as well as its impressive wellness program.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Along the southern curve of Agadir Bay, opening onto private sands and palm-filled grounds.

The rooms
Suites open onto private patios facing the bay, and rooms keep a crisp, black-and-white maritime palette.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor freshwater pools sit among palms, and the indoor seawater pool is heated to 32 degrees Celsius.
The spa and gym
Treatment suites hold hydromassage seawater baths, and the fitness room is equipped with Technogym machines.
At the table
La Plage serves fresh seafood right on the sand, and Le Corail mixes cocktails overlooking the Atlantic.
How it began
A recent redesign took down the wall separating the grounds from the beach, opening unbroken views straight to the ocean.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
