This new establishment is only a 3-hour flight away from
the main European capitals and is the ideal place for a
relaxing and revitalising break. Sofitel Agadir Thalassa is
the brand's second hotel in the bay of Agadir alongside the
Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay Resort.
The hotel designed by the Moroccan architect Jamal Lamiri
Alaoui and the French interior designer Didier Rey inspires
serenity and encourages relaxation. These two experts in
their respective fields have combined their know-how,
culture and personal inspirations to pay tribute to
modernity and Moroccan culture.
The 125 rooms and 49 suites, each with its own private
patio overlooking the sea and offering a superb view of the
bay of Agadir and the remains of its ancient Kasbah, are
also an invitation to relax.
A thalassotherapy institute devoted to complete rest
On the edge of the Atlantic, separated only by a stretch of
fine sandy beach, the thalassotherapy institute is an
integral part of the hotel. With its elegant, pure white
decor, this area is devoted to resting and replenishing
both mind and body in a healthy 'detox' atmosphere.
Every aspect of the Sofitel Agadir Thalassa has been
considered to optimise the well-being of each guest thanks
to a large range of treatments and accompaniment focusing
on techniques for leading a healthy lifestyle and getting
back in shape. Some of the cure programmes include
consultations with a naturopath who uses natural therapies
to boost the body's vital energy as well as a sporting
coach who completes this programme with personalised
fitness sessions indoors or on the beach.
The establishment also proposes treatments inspired by
Moroccan traditions to awake the senses and re-energize the
mind and body. They are the promise of a unique experience
combining the benefits of the Sea and the Land since the
thalassotherapy treatments are complemented by local
products: Argan oil, Barbary fig, orange blossom water,
rosewater, honey, and so on.
More general well-being activities are also organised in
addition to the individualised treatments. The
thalassotherapy facility has 16 spacious booths, leading
onto the beach or the hotel gardens, and proposes massages
with Argan oil and other essential oils. A therapeutic
water course of heated seawater at 32°C is open to all
hotel guests to allow everyone to enjoy the health benefits
of heated seawater…Other practices such as swimming against
the current, aqua fitness and aqua-bike sessions, and step
aerobics workouts are also available.
In order to complete the different treatment programmes,
the hotel offers a wide choice of hot and cold herbal
drinks and fresh fruit juices. Here the thalassotherapy
expertise is associated with the health-giving properties
of Morocco's finest products and treatments.
A catering offer devoted to well-being
The hotel's catering offer is also all about well-being and
offers local products prepared according to the very latest
dietary trends or traditional Moroccan dishes with a new
twist.
There are 3 restaurants, including a gastronomic restaurant
called Le Palais du Jardin where the motto ''eat well to
live well'' reflects the choice to use only the freshest
products, home-grown in the hotel garden or from the
region's farms, while minimising the use of oils and fats.
A naturopath and a dietician contribute to planning the
menu to offer guests genuine and personalised support.
Facing the ocean and perched above the gardens and the
pool, the aptly-named Le Market restaurant proposes a
cuisine of freshly prepared seasonal products.
Finally the poolside restaurant, l'Atlantique, serves a
simple cuisine, with particular emphasis on locally-caught
fish
More about... Agadir
Agadir, the city of sun, is also known as the Pearl of the
South and its bay is classed as one of the most beautiful
in the world. The benefits of the Atlantic, the exceptional
luminosity and the mild climate all year round add to the
perfect conditions required for a successful
thalassotherapy break. This seaside paradise is also the
ideal starting point from which to explore the nearby towns
of Taroudant and Tafraoute, the Souss Massa National Park
and Morocco's Honey, Almond Tree and Argan Tree Trails.
