Dunes d'Or Ocean Club

The Dunes d'Or Ocean Club has mastered the art of relaxing family breaks. Featuring contemporary interiors and a traditional Moorish white façade, the property seamlessly blends old and new style, and it flaunts a top setting right opposite the silky sands of Agadir’s beach.

You’ve got three pools nestled among the palm-freckled resort grounds, one just for children and another with colourful waterslides. Loungers and parasols sit close to the water’s edge, and little ones can head off for fun and games at the kids’ clubs, for ages 4-8 and 9-12 years, giving adults a little poolside recharging time. There's even a club for older teens. If you want to up the ante, make your way to the hotel’s luxury spa, which lines up a traditional hammam, a sauna and a list of soothing treatments.

Elsewhere, there’s are four restaurants  – one buffet-style and three à la cartes serving seafood, Italian, and local cuisine  Three bars will keep you going with cold drinks during the day, and expertly mixed cocktails when the sun goes down. There’s also a nightclub if you fancy dancing until late.

Lastly, a word on location. The resort centre of Agadir is just a couple of minutes’ drive away. There’s plenty to enjoy in this smart seafront city, from time-warp bazaars to ultra-modern bars and restaurants.
