Relax at a spa in Agadir | Courtesy of Argan Phyto House
Could there be a better way to complement sunny beach days than with a luxurious spa treatment? Luckily, Morocco’s coastal city of Agadir not only boasts splendid golden sands but it’s home to many blissful spas too. As a note, there’s often an overlap between spas and hammams, with many spas offering hammam steam baths as well as other services; conversely, few dedicated hammams offer anything other than a basic massage. Here are some of the best places to treat yourself to some pampering and TLC in Agadir.

A top place for a blissful massage in chic surroundings, Argan Phyto House appeals to a range of senses as soon as you step inside. Modern and at the same time incorporating traditional experience and wisdom, the spa has several massage rooms to cater to clients’ needs.
