What’s on the menu
Paradis Plage has a very simple philosophy; to serve organic and locally sourced food as much as possible. Deliciously fresh fish is sourced from the fisherman’s village adjacent to the resort. There are healthy as well as not so healthy options on the menu so this isn’t the place to detox or lose weight. Alcohol is served if you fancy a cocktail too. It takes a long time to prepare these authentic recipes, so be sure to place your order for these Moroccan slow-cook dishes at least three hours in advance.
The Ocean
The buffet restaurant serving breakfast all year round and evening buffet (in high season only). The breakfast has hot and cold options and even an omelette making station.
The 27
A la carte restaurant serving a Mediterranean cuisine is open for dinner. The chef uses local and seasonal produce to create delicious evening meals.
Chiringuito Bar & Restaurant – Surf House
The super chilled-out surf house is open for lunch. Choose from the bar menu including salads, fresh fish or burgers. In the evening, grab a cocktail and relax on the comfy cushions to watch the sunset.
Location
Paradis Plage Resort is located directly on 5 km of sandy beach in Taghazout away from the main tourist traps. For shopping head to Agadir (20 min away) as there are only a few small local shops within walking distance.
Nearest airport
The transfer time from Agadir Airport is approx. 1 hour by car. Flight from London takes about 3hr 40 min. Flights are not daily, especially during winter months.

Paradis Plage is a beautiful hotel right on a stunning beach. We wanted a yoga holiday and it offered that and much more. The yoga teacher Karsten was amazing and inspirational, the yoga studio right on the stunning beach, with the sound of waves and birds to accompany our practice. The hotel also had lots of other facilities and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The only downside for us was that they have very little single accommodation and few twin beds - and as two mature single women we didn’t want to share a bed! But thankfully the hotel was able to rectify this by upgrading us to a premium suite.

Slightly let down by the resort where the small details were overlooked - waiting a long time for the transfer, very stuffy stale smelling car on return transfer, inconsistent meals and service in the restaurant, some facilities not well maintained, inconsistent quality of treatments, yoga class too advanced for the inexperienced. They have become more busy and likely because of this are missing the little details that have previously made this place stand out. The staff are very lovely, warm and helpful, however, it's just the little things that need improving before I personally consider returning.

Slightly overpriced but perfect location and resort. Would recommend this place as an ideal holiday resort

I went for relaxation, yoga and fitness - and that's exactly what I got. I was picked up from the airport and transferred in a lovely air conditioned car to the hotel.
I was immediately greeted with smiles and complete friendliness and given a welcome juice.
After a quick tour I was shown to my upgraded suite which was out of this world. I almost felt guilty for staying in a suite so big all on my own!
The place is so homey and comfortable and spotlessly clean, the staff are the perfect amount of friendly and the food is exceptional - so fresh and tasty and so much variety and choice.
The Yoga was a real highlight - Karsen the Instructor was the best instructor I've ever met through doing yoga in different countries for many years.
The gym is ideal and the classes tough going but in a good way.
Everything ran so smoothly from the moment I first made contact to the time I got home and I will definitely be going back again.

Excellent resort but just not as exclusive in terms of detail in comparison to previous Wellbeing trip!
Mark Watson
I adored Atmantan - it's a seriously impressive 'health' destination. Beautiful setting, highly professional staff and fitness classes galore.
I had the best spa treatments ever there too and really was loathe to leave...I'm planning to go back later this year already.

I spent a few days at Paradis Plage in Agadir, Morocco and it as simply wonderful. I had never been to Morocco before so I was slightly nervous, especially as I was travelling alone. The lady at Wellbeing Escapes put me at ease by saying that almost all their customers were single travellers so all their resorts are perfect for single travellers.
The resort itself was just what I was looking for. It was chilled-out and relaxed and the location right on the beach was perfect. Being a surf and yoga resort, I really enjoyed getting involved in the daily yoga classes. The teachers were incredible. I did also try out the surfing (which I had never done before) which was good fun.
I enjoyed a traditional Moroccan hammam which was amazing... my skin felt so smooth and revitalised.
I went on an excursion to Paradis Valley which is only a short drive from the resort. Here I trekked through the hills and took a dip in the fresh-water. I also had a morocco tagine for lunch which was delicious! I would highly recommend this trip!
Overall, Paradis Plage was amazing and I will most definitely be returning next year. I also love how close it is to the UK, it is only a 4 hour flight from London to Agadir so great for a quick trip for some sunshine!!

Overall a great stay reception staff great, food generally above expectation the salads being particularly good. Yoga fantastic. Rooms spacious and very clean. Only real complaint would be the duration of treatments, 3 out of six were Much shorter than the published length of time for the treatment . Little was able to be done about this as the schedule in the spa was full.

The spa at Paradis Plage was amazing. I had 6 days of treatments and enjoyed every one. All the staff were very friendly and knew what they were doing. The resort itself was good but the pool is small and always had screaming children around it so I spent most days at the beach. The food was mostly good but limited.

I LOVED IT. The Spa at Paradise Plage was excellent. Very clean and professional nothing was ever too much and so relaxing...... I could not believe 9 days had passed so quickly. I could have done with one more week for sure.

This spacious series of apartments and houses , set within tranquil, flower filled grounds, is a charming and restful place to be. We each had a Junior Suite, with interconnecting doors, opening onto the pool area. It was early March and there were relatively few guests... which was lovely for us as we wanted peace and quiet and a total collapse after a heavy period of hard work. We paid half board and also in advance paid for daily massages. The open plan buffet dining room, where you serve yourself, was a bit canteen like to sit in, but the food choices were utterly delicious: a huge variety of food, both at breakfast and in the evening... at breakfast we tended to sit at tables around the pool. All tastes were catered for... my friend likes cereals and milk or yoghurt, fresh fruit , etc. I had various types of bread, toasted, cheese, cold meats, and often had an omelette, made in front of me, with a choice of fillings... delicious! In the evenings there is a choice of three tagines.... meat, or fish, or vegetarian; plus dozens of starters and many other main courses including saffron rice/ paella with fish / plates of various fish/ chicken/ lamb... and delicious puds...slices of mille feuille, various chocolate things, fruit pies, fresh fruit... . Our rooms were huge, with sofa, tv, air conditioning, and large beds... really comfy. There was a mini-kitchen too so if you had wanted to buy food elsewhere you could cook a meal for yourself. The beach is beautiful and deserted... golden sand and wonderful surf .... too cold to swim in, in March anyway. Yoga lessons were great, so was the keep fit class we went to; and the body treatments were wonderful.... lying in the steamy hamman, covered in mud, and then hosed down , followed by a full body exfoliation. I've never felt so clean! The staff are charming, gentle, helpful. My only complaint is that there are cats roaming the site and begging for food. They walk into the restaurant too. And the only other thing that bothered me was the lack of decent coffee. There is a Nescafe machine at breakfast and frankly it tastes disgusting. Had I known, I'd have brought some bags of real coffee and made my own in my room. If you want lunch you can either wander down to where the surfing folk get into their wet suits and head off for the sea, beside which there is a lovely buffet at lunch time and again in the evening, right on the beach. Or there is a smarter restaurant within the hotel complex. Or you can sit on the terrace and order drinks and light salads etc. I highly recommend this place.

This is a nice hotel but definitely not five star. The food was a bit hit and miss, breakfast not great, but had a few good dinners. The staff are polite. My room had a great view of the pool and ocean, and was a really good size but the finishes are a bit sloppy, my wardrobe door fell off, luckily not causing me any injury. It was nice to have the kitchenette. I liked the spa but the Hamman was a bit disappointing I was expect hot and steamy, it was neither. The Zen space was okay but a bit too far away from the hotel so not close to the pool or ocean views or somewhere to get a drink or any assistance.

The hotel was extremely clean and tidy, inside and out. The suites were kept immaculately clean. Bottled water was provided daily.
Crisp white bed linen and towels.

The resort was perfect- just what we wanted and staff we really brilliant.

The surf and yoga was great. The surf teachers especially were very good and supportive.
The fitness instructor could perhaps go for some training in how to teach people who are not on the same fitness level as him and to be a little bit more upbeat in the presentation of his classes, I often felt like he'd rather be somewhere else. It might also be good to mix the classes up a bit and hold some of them outside, using the lovely beach to do circuits etc.
