Where to stay

Club Med and The Kasbah (Coralia – Accor Group) where the first settlers to built holiday villages of white walls bungalows, near the beach front, under the shadow of eucalyptus, palm trees and other flowered bougainvilleas. They are still there but nowadays Agadir offers more than 20,000 bedroom from bungalow to five-star.

The Tikida Beach Hotel is one of those new generation of luxurious accommodation that offer all modern comfort with a plus: direct open access to the beach and the nec plus ultra for health and beauty, the thalassotherapia. Its owner, M Marrache wants it to be a reference as its name suggests it. Tikida is the Berber name for carob tree, a Mediterranean oriental desert tree better known in certain countries under the name of Saint-Jone’s bred because its fruit is very nutritive and is used to make a substitute to chocolate. But this small fruit, the karub, was also used in the past as measure unit for the diamonds known today as the carat (200 mg).

The infrastructures of the Tikida Beach have taken place on four hectares located on the very edge of the beach. The hotel has been built in Moorish style architecture : marble floors, white washed walls, open patios with plants, and offers 233 air-conditioned large rooms (40 m²) with balcony or terrace facing the Atlantic ocean, the immense swimming pool or the flowered gardens. The hotel has its private ocean beach with deck chairs and parasols.

The Agadir thalassotherapy centre offers the complete range of the seawater care from the thousand year traditions of the hammam, to the last up dated spa treatments (aqua fitness, hydrotherapy, algae massage, affusion and jet showers, lymphatic drainage, etc…) with a staff trained to French techniques for the complete comfort and health of everybody. Out of the five different cures, there is also a special thalasso+golf. Very appreciated by golfers. After the cure, the Espace Beauté Océane is a hairdressing and beauty centre.

There are three restaurants: the Zanzibar is a gourmet restaurant in discret atmosphere serving refined menu of Western and Eastern flavours. The Chirinquito, located between the swimming pool and the beach is the place to have a grilled fish or special seafood just after a dip. And the Caroubier is a buffet-restaurant which serves a large range of meals from international to Morroccan.There are also three bars: the Cascade is located under the reception overlooking a waterfall and provides live performance in the evening. The Papagayo is the night club.

The course Golf du Soleil belongs to the same owner and the Tikida provides naturally special packages for golfers.
