5 nights all inclusive from £599 paradis plage agadir

A laid back 4 star beach resort with a superb range of accommodation options, and offering a tempting mix of yoga, surfing, spa and hiking.  Perfect for both adults and families.

Paradis Plage offers 107 suites, beach bungalows and prestige villas.  All are generously sized and almost all have terraces and views over the ocean.  The accommodation is smart and stylish, but not over-the-top luxurious, and all are well priced accordingly.  Rooms have their own kitchenette and dining area.

The resort has a very relaxed, charming feel to it and the staff are friendly and attentive.  It's shaped around the large swimming pool and funky outdoor seating areas overlooking the sea.  The beach runs for a mile in each direction.  If you're in to surfing, then you'll be pleased to know that the surf shop has everything you need and some excellent instructors too.  Lessons are available for children aged 7 upwards.

Yoga is a central component for may visitors tp Pardis Plage and the yoga studio is a perfect space to enjoy a morning or evening class.  It's folding glass doors can be fully retracted on appropriate days so that both the smell, sound and view of the Atlantic fills your senses.  Nico, the in-residence yoga teacher, speaks good enough English to get you in to the flow and he's a lovely guy and a fabulous teacher.  Find out more about the health benefits of yoga

The spa has two hammams and three treatment rooms and is a quiet oasis to retire to for some pampering after a busy day on the beach!

If you want some more arduos exercise, the hills rise up immediately behind the resort and offer a selection of trails of different levels of difficulty and duration.

There are 3 places to eat at the resort.  We particularly like the outdoor lounge area with its comfortbale seating and raised view of the beach.  There's also a more formal restaurant and a family-centric one too.  For children there's also a Kids Club.

We recommend Paradis Plage for both long weekends and for longer stays and would be very pleased to put together the perfect tailor-made holiday for you here.  Of course, adding a visit to Marrakech or the Atlas Mountains can easily be arranged too.

If you like the idea of combining yoga and surfing, you might want to take a moment to have a look at Monte Velho - our eco coastal farmhouse on the wild west coast of Portugal.

Highs

• Excellent combination of yoga, surfing, hiking and spa
• Superb yoga studio on the beach
• Feels like a boutique resort despite offering 100 bedrooms, bungalows and villas
• Good value, spacious and comfortable accommodation

Lows

• Some building works in the neighbourhood, but not intrusively so (from a noise / visibility perspective)
• The local city of Agadir does not have as much to offer from a cultural perspective as, say, Marrakech
• Since this is Morocco and it's only 4 star, the service can be a bit hit and miss - but it's always friendly
