Beach Clubs, Pools and Relaxation Spots in Morocco

Morocco offers a remarkable variety of places to enjoy the sun: beach clubs on the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, iconic hotel pools in Marrakech, seaside resorts in Agadir or Tangier, plus the Atlas Mountains and desert landscapes. With sunshine for most of the year and strong tourism activity, the country is an ideal destination for a relaxing day by the water. Regions such as Dakhla, increasingly popular for their lagoon and natural scenery, add even more diversity. Between sea, mountains and desert, Morocco offers settings for every style.

Main types of places in Morocco

Hotel pools

Marrakech is the best-known city for hotel pools and resort experiences. Coastal destinations like Agadir, Casablanca, Tangier and Rabat also offer hotel pools in urban or seaside environments.

Rooftops

In Marrakech and Casablanca, several high-end hotels and venues feature rooftop pools with open views of the city or the ocean. These spaces are especially popular in the late afternoon, when the light is softer and temperatures remain warm.

Beach clubs & seaside areas

Morocco has well-known beach clubs and managed seaside areas along both coasts:

• Atlantic: Agadir and its wide bay, Casablanca’s Ain Diab corniche, and Tangier’s long waterfront.
• Mediterranean: M’diq, Martil and nearby summer destinations.

These areas complement hotel pools and offer a mix of urban, beachfront and natural settings.

A relaxing day in Morocco

In just a few hours, you can move from Marrakech’s pools and gardens to lively beach clubs on the Atlantic, or to the quieter Mediterranean shoreline. Temperatures are generally warm throughout the year, with hotter conditions inland and milder weather along the coast.

Dakhla illustrates this diversity perfectly: the region has become increasingly popular for its lagoon, oceanfront hotels and mild climate year-round. It is not a traditional “beach club” destination, but rather a natural and distinctive setting in Morocco.
