4 days4-Day Atlantic Coast: Essaouira & Agadir
Sea air and ramparts in Essaouira, the coast road via Imsouane, and Agadir’s beaches – a relaxed coastal break from Marrakech.

Paradise Valley is a green canyon in the foothills of the High Atlas, where a river runs through palms and oleanders into natural rock pools. About an hour from Agadir, it makes a relaxed day of walking, swimming and lunch in a peaceful setting.

Best for: Beach holidaymakers in Agadir, families and anyone wanting a gentle nature day.
Driving times are approximate and exclude long stops; they vary with weather, roads and traffic.
We collect you from your Agadir hotel around 9 am and drive north along the coast to Aourir, known for its bananas, then inland up a winding road through argan trees and red-rock hills. After about an hour, we reach the parking area for Paradise Valley. From here, an easy-to-moderate walk of 30–45 minutes, with some rocky sections, leads down to the river and its turquoise pools, framed by palms. Spend the middle of the day swimming, relaxing in the shade or exploring further up the valley. Lunch is at a simple café or as a picnic. On the way back, we can stop at an argan cooperative, arriving in Agadir by mid to late afternoon.
