Paradis Plage Surf Yoga and Spa Resort sits at Imi Ouaddar, on the Route d'Essaouira about 26 kilometres north of Agadir, where the coast turns wild and the surf is some of the best in Morocco. The resort has 103 rooms and is built around a private beach, with sun loungers, beach volleyball and a surf school, plus options for bodyboarding, water skiing and kayaking. There is an outdoor pool and a children's pool, a spa with three treatment rooms, a health club with fitness and yoga classes, four restaurants, a beach bar and a garden. It combines a laid-back surf-village feel with the polish of a spa resort, and it appeals to couples, friends and families who want activity and rest in equal measure.
Location and getting around
Imi Ouaddar is a quiet stretch of coast, and the beach is about a two-minute walk from the resort. Agadir Beach is around 35 minutes by car and Al Massira Airport about 65 minutes, so you are far from the city bustle but close to Taghazout and the surf villages.
Free self-parking is available, and a rental car or arranged transfers make day trips to Agadir, Paradise Valley and Essaouira straightforward. Expect to spend most evenings at the resort, since restaurants and shops are limited nearby, and plan transport for any evenings in town.
Rooms and atmosphere
The rooms are set among gardens and near the pool and beach, with a relaxed, wellness-minded style. Days here follow a rhythm of morning yoga, a surf lesson, lunch by the pool and a massage in the afternoon. The spa is a good place to recover after time on the water, and the four restaurants offer variety so that a longer stay does not feel repetitive.
The beach is open to swell and wind, so conditions vary, and swimming should be done with care and attention to flags and advice from the resort.
Who it suits and good to know: it works for surfers of all levels, yoga fans, couples seeking quiet and families who enjoy the outdoors, thanks to the children's pool. It is less suitable if you want nightlife or to walk to shops. Surf conditions are better in autumn and winter for experienced riders and gentler in spring and summer for beginners. Ask about programme schedules, whether lessons and classes carry extra charges, and which room categories have terraces or sea views.
