Know before you go
Short, straight answers to the questions every Agadir visitor asks before booking.
The sweet-spot months
Agadir enjoys sunshine almost year-round; spring (Apr–Jun) and autumn (Sep–Nov) are ideal, while winter is a top warm-sun escape.
Spring (Apr–Jun)
Warm and pleasant, perfect for the beach, Paradise Valley and day trips before the summer heat.
Summer (Jul–Aug)
Warm but tempered by Atlantic breezes; great for the beach and water sports, busier overall.
Autumn (Sep–Nov)
Warm sea and settled days make autumn excellent for the beach, adventure and excursions.
Winter (Dec–Mar)
Mild and sunny, Agadir is a popular winter-sun destination, with pleasant days for the beach and sightseeing.
Year-round sun
With around 300 sunny days a year and Atlantic breezes, Agadir is comfortable in almost any season.
