Dar Maktoub

It’s hard to imagine that Dar Maktoub is actually located in a busy beach resort city, given the fact that it’s surrounded by sprawling exotic gardens and provides stunning views over the Souss Massa Drâa National Park.

One of the most beautiful spots in Agadir, you’ll relish your time here, from the warm and friendly welcome to the tranquil area around the pool and the traditional Moroccan style living rooms.

In the main house, you’ll find it to be elegant and intimate with just 10 guest bedrooms, all individually styled with their own colour themes, furniture and décor. Morocco is not forgotten in the traditional touches such as the in tiles in the bathrooms, the wooden chairs or the mirrors.

As well as having your stylish room in which to relax, you’ll also find plenty of cosy lounges, outdoor verandas and tranquil spots in the garden in which to sit back and enjoy a sweet Moroccan mint tea.
Ease into your holiday with a dip in the vast aquamarine pool at the centre of the resort or a stroll around the peaceful gardens.

Golf lovers will be their element as there is not one, but four excellent golf courses located nearby. With its mild climate and high probability of a sunny day, Agadir is an ideal golf destination. Just 500m from Dar Maktoub you’ll find the 36-hole course Golf du Soleil, and the 27-hole courses Golf Les Dunes and Golf de l’Ocean.

But if you truly want to get active on your holiday, then you’ll find plenty of activities to satisfy your wishes. How about trying your hand at kitesurfing, windsurfing or sailing? If you’re more of a land-based person, then a 4x4 quad biking adventure on the dunes or exploring the area on horse-back may be more your thing.

Nature lovers too will enjoy the hotel’s location on the edge of the 33,800-acre Souss Massa Drâa National Park, where you can potentially spot 275 species of bird and 46 species of mammals including gazelle, orynx and ostrich.

With all these activities, don’t forget to leave a couple of days for lying on the beach or exploring Agadir itself with its commercial port and hilltop kasbah, an earthy castle originally built in 1541.

After all this you’ll certainly be in need of some more R&R, which can be found at a traditional hammam and spa near your hotel. Think hot stones, black olive scrub and firm massages. All clean and relaxed, your mind begins to think about food, so head back to your hotel to sample some of its sophisticated French-Moroccan fusion dishes using top quality local ingredients and home grown herbs and spices.

Agadir has never seemed so luxurious or so tranquil than when you’re at Dar Maktoub.
