Where to stay in Agadir? Areas compared (beach, centre, Hay Mohammadi)

Agadir’s main areas

Seafront (Founty, Marina, Agadir Bay) — hotels, residences and aparthotels along the promenade. Best for walking to the beach; also the priciest and most touristy area.

Centre (Talborjt, New Talborjt, around Souk El Had) — central and lively, near the big market. Convenient, noisier.

Residential areas (including Hay Mohammadi) — local life: restaurants, cafés, shops, lower prices. The beach is a few minutes by car or taxi. Our apartment is here: see Hay Mohammadi neighbourhood.

North: Taghazout and Tamraght — surf villages with a laid-back feel, about 20 km away. Great for surfing, less so for city life.
