Atlantica Parc Lodge

You can go big on beaches here, as a couple of the area’s well-known ones – Taghazout (15 minutes’ drive) and Agadir (40 minutes) – are within easy reach for days full of sunbathing and watersports. And if it’s action you’re after, there are plenty of places for hiking, quad biking and horse and camel rides around, too, as well as a skatepark in Taghazout. Once you’ve seen the sea and the swimming pool, how about some waterfalls? Take a trek around the scenic Paradise Valley (an hour’s drive) for glimpses of the Tamraght river, rock pools and small falls. Or take the views up high instead, and clamber aboard the La Grande Roue Agadir big wheel (35 minutes) for a bird's-eye view of your surroundings. While you’re in Agadir, a visit to Birds Valley (40 minutes) is also a fine choice. As you may have guessed, this place is big on birds, but there’s also a small zoo and some play areas. For more animals, Crocoparc (an hour) is another aptly-named place – as well as the crocs, there are other critters to see too, as well as plenty of pretty greenery.
