Morocco is served by direct flights from the UK and other major European airports, with flight times to Agadir between 2-4 hours.

Guests traveling from the US, Australia, or North Europe can connect either in Casablanca or at a European airport as there are no direct flights to Agadir.

From Agadir airport, it’s a 45-minute drive southeast along the coast road.
Road transfers from Marrakech can be easily arranged and the new motorway has dramatically cut the journey times down to 3 hours and cost approx £100 for 3 people. Surf Maroc does not provide these transfers but can book one for you. Payments for the transfer are made directly to your driver.

Skyscanner – a great site to see who flies where internationally.
