We present the Riu Palace Tikida Agadir before and after its renovation
8 May, 2025This year began with the news that the renovation of the Riu Palace Tikida Agadir had been completed. Today, we would like to show you how great it looks! This hotel, which opened in 2012, now boasts a completely renovated look and services in line with RIU’s highest quality standards.
But first, let us tell you about the history that links us to the Tikida Group, dating back to 2002, with whom we currently have six hotels in Morocco, offering a total of 2,271 rooms. Three of them are located in the Agadir area: the newly renovated Riu Palace Tikida Agadir, the Riu Tikida Dunas and the Riu Tikida Beach; two in Marrakesh, the Riu Tikida Palmeraie and the Riu Tikida Garden; and one in Taghazout, the Riu Palace Tikida Taghazout.
The moment has arrived! Would you like to find out all the details? Join us to see the Riu Palace Tikida Agadir before and after its renovation… you’ll be amazed!
A lobby bathed in natural light
Let’s start with one of the most important areas of a hotel: the lobby. This area is where you are welcomed and where you form your first impression. The Riu Palace Tikida Agadir now boasts a lobby flooded with natural light thanks to the impressive skylight that has become the centrepiece of this space.


But that’s not all! The lobby is now divided into two distinct areas, expanding the hotel’s services. On one side, the Capuccino pastry bar, a feature of Riu Palace hotels, has opened its doors, offering a cosy corner with an exquisite selection of coffees and pastries. On the other side, there is a newly refurbished Lobby Bar with direct access to a revamped terrace where you can enjoy an exceptional selection of drinks.


Two new additions to the bar and restaurant area
In the bar section, we’re launching something new! The hotel now has a 24-hour Sports Bar with several screens where sports fans can enjoy watching their favourite sporting events. This new addition means that the hotel now has a total of six bars, each with its own unique personality.


The other new feature is Pepe’s Food , our themed grill restaurant, which is very popular among RIU guests. This outdoor space has been completely transformed! And in the evening, it offers a specialised grill menu, Steak House. This is in addition to the three restaurants that were already in the hotel and which are now sporting a new look: the main eatery, Le Santal; the gourmet option, Krystal; and the Moroccan flavour, Marrakech.


More space for relaxation: the hotel adds extra rooms
With the renovation, the hotel has increased the number of guest rooms and now has a total of 456 modern accommodation options. Although the furnishings have been updated, the elegant and sophisticated touch that characterises this hotel has been maintained, preserving the balance between modern style and Moroccan tradition.


If you want to add an extra touch of luxury to your holiday, opt for one of the hotel’s suites. You will be pleasantly surprised. They now feature a bathtub where you can enjoy a relaxing bath in a unique setting. Each detail has been carefully considered to make your stay perfect!




Enchanting outdoor areas
In the outdoor area, the hotel still has its two spectacular swimming pools, which are fully integrated into the lake-style surroundings. What has changed is that they are now surrounded by Balinese beds and pergolas where you can relax. You’re sure to love this space and it will make the perfect backdrop for your official holiday photo, the one you’ll show all your friends when you get back.

A stage worthy of Broadway
We know that one of the highlights of your experience with us is our entertainment. That’s why, during the renovation, we didn’t want to overlook the lounge bar that hosts the hotel’s shows. It now offers table service and has a much larger stage, fit for the hotel’s talented entertainment team.



Don’t worry! The beachfront location and 24-hour all-inclusive service remain the same! Now you’ve seen how the hotel looks, there’s nothing like experiencing it in person. Would you like to come and see it for yourself?
