Along Morocco’s golden Mediterranean coastline, in the country’s northern reaches, the Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay has emerged this summer as a haven of understated luxury. Nestled between the sea and the mountains, this resort, with its architecture inspired by Andalusian heritage, offers guests 92 spacious villas, each featuring a private pool and sun-drenched terrace. Designed as a sanctuary far from the bustle of everyday life, the property immerses visitors in the heart of untouched natural beauty.
As the summer season reaches its peak, the resort invites guests to indulge in a wide array of experiences. The culinary offerings stand out thanks to the creative touch of Chef Brahim El Youssoufi, who brings together seasonal ingredients and local flavors to craft exceptional dining moments. Mornings begin at Tingitana, followed by a taste of Spain at Azura, or a Thai-inspired dinner beneath the stars at Saffron. For those who appreciate fine spirits and rare cigars, the EME lounge serves caviar bites and champagne alongside an impressive collection of vintage wines.
The resort’s Beach Club has once again become the beating heart of social life this summer, as it welcomes back the lively atmosphere of the Buddha-Bar Beach & Rooftop. This now-iconic spot combines music, cocktails, and gourmet dining, inviting guests to relax to the rhythms of live DJs or enjoy dinner shows as the sun sets. As night falls, the rooftop keeps the energy alive with open-air parties under the stars, creating an inviting and festive ambiance.
Adding to the nightlife scene is the arrival of the SKY BAR, a concept that first gained popularity in Casablanca and Rabat, now making its debut at Tamouda Bay. Located in the heart of the resort, this stylish venue hosts international DJs and offers vacationers the perfect setting for long summer evenings by the sea.
For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, the Banyan Tree Spa remains a must. Guests can indulge in time-honored rituals, bespoke facial treatments by Esthecare, and a comprehensive wellness center featuring a heated pool, hydrotherapy, and personalized fitness sessions. Every element is designed to soothe both body and mind.
The resort also celebrates the art of shopping and discovery. The MCR concept store continues to attract attention with its exclusive collections, while the prestigious Assouline publishing house opens its first-ever pop-up boutique in Africa within the resort grounds. Here, visitors can browse luxury books, artful objects, and scented candles—unique keepsakes to remember their stay. Another fresh addition is the Marrakech Fine Food corner, which elevates the traditional tea time with rare teas, delicate pastries, and gourmet treats.
Families are equally well catered for, with tailored activities that make for unforgettable holidays. Children can immerse themselves in the playful world of the Kids Club, while adults explore the coast by jet ski, paddleboard, or boat. Sports enthusiasts will find padel and tennis courts, while culture lovers can wander through the historic alleys of nearby Tétouan. For the adventurous, quad biking and hiking through the surrounding landscapes offer an extra touch of excitement.
Born from the desire to blend Asian hospitality with Moroccan craftsmanship, Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay continues to embody the spirit of authentic, exclusive travel. It remains a destination where unforgettable memories are made under the brilliant sun of Morocco’s Riviera.
