Tikida Golf Palace

An Oasis of Quietude: Where the Souss Massa Whispers

If you are the type of traveller who finds the neon glare of coastal resorts a touch too "energetic," the Tikida Golf Palace in Agadir is your antidote. This is not merely a hotel; it is a 120-hectare masterclass in Moroccan restraint. Nestled on the edge of the Souss Massa nature reserve and shaded by an ancient eucalyptus forest, the Palace feels like a secret whispered between the Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic.

The architecture is a love letter to Moorish heritage—think sun-drenched ochre walls, intricate ironwork, and a central patio where the only soundtrack is the splash of a fountain. It is grounded, elegant, and perhaps a little smug about its own tranquility. Whether you are reclining by the freshwater pool or watching the sunset bleed into the Moroccan horizon from your private terrace, the vibe is resolutely "old-world explorer meets modern sybarite." Here, the pace of life is dictated by the rhythm of the game and the cooling afternoon breeze. For those seeking Golf Holidays in Morocco, this boutique gem offers a level of intimacy that larger resorts simply cannot replicate.

The Fairway Philosophy: Golf at the Sun’s Doorstep

For the serious player, the Tikida Golf Palace is less of a stay and more of a pilgrimage. The hotel is seamlessly integrated into Golf du Soleil, a 36-hole complex that treats the game with the reverence it deserves. Guests are a mere buggy-ride (or a pleasant three-minute stroll) from the first tee.

The Championship Course (Par 72, 5,976m) is the heavyweight here, having hosted the Challenge Tour and the Lalla Meryem Cup. It demands strategy; its wide fairways are a trap for the overconfident, guarded by strategically banked bunkers and shimmering lakes. Then there is the Tikida Course (Par 72, 5,539m), a more technical, winding journey through the eucalyptus trees that rewards precision over raw power. The signature par-3 7th, played over water directly in front of the Palace, is the kind of hole that makes or breaks a post-round gin and tonic. With a David Leadbetter Academy on-site, a sprawling driving range, and a pro shop stocked for the discerning, your Agadir Golf Breaks start and end right at your doorstep.
