8 Best Nightlife in Agadir, The Southern Atlantic Coast
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Agadir right now.
For many in Agadir, nightlife constitutes a stroll along the waterfront and a coffee with friends. But with its relaxed mores, Agadir can be a clubbing hot spot, particularly for young people looking to cut loose. Many places don't get going until after midnight, but the beachfront is always busy earlier on, with diners and drinkers making the most of the beach environment. Although Agadir lacks the class of Marrakesh, a number of places, mostly based in the resort hotels, are putting up some decent competition.
Be warned: nighttime also attracts many prostitutes, some underage, who throng the cheap bars. The authorities aren't afraid to imprison foreigners who patronize them. Hotel clubs tend to have a more exclusive patronage; in general, the more expensive the drinks, the fancier the clientele. Many bars and clubs close during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Casino Atlantic
Part of the Atlantic Palace Hotel, Casino Atlantic is the long player of the bunch, with 16 gaming tables offering blackjack, roulette, poker, and 200 slot machines going all afternoon, night, and early morning.

Casino Shem's
This long-standing favorite offers poker, blackjack, slot-machines, and great sea views.
Maxwell
Live music and a cool, local atmosphere are the draws of this bar and restaurant near the beach. The crowd is mostly local thirty- and fortysomething local professionals. The live music is a house band that does English-language covers and some local English-language and contemporary Amazigh music as well. The vibe is that of a feel-good community.
Papagayo
A long-standing favorite is Papagayo, attached to the Riu Tikida Beach resort, which attracts international DJs pumping out fairly mainstream tunes.
So Lounge
The chicest and best nightclub is without doubt So, which charges a hefty admission price for nonguests of the Sofitel. Located on two levels, there's live music every night, a chic restaurant,and three bars, including exclusive champagne and vodka bars. It's so trendy you could scream, or simply dance the night—and morning—away.
Zanzibar
Those looking for postdinner, preclub drinks with a touch of East African colonial elegance should stop by Zanzibar at the Riu Tikida Beach Resort.
