MOROCCO: Banyan Tree To Open Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay

Banyan Tree will open Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay, Morocco’s first all-inclusive pool villa resort and first destination spa resort this September. Banyan Tree’s inaugural venture in the Mediterranean and Africa features 92 luxury pool villas (ranging from 200 to 423 sq m), all with awe-inspiring views of the Mediterranean Sea. Combining Moroccan charm with a refreshing Mediterranean spirit, the resort is perfect for couples and families. Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay opens up a new destination to discerning travellers seeking a rich cultural adventure to beautiful historic towns, quiet unspoiled beaches and exhilarating outdoor activities.

Delivering Banyan Tree’s world-renowned, Asian-inspired spa tradition using a 'high touch, low tech' approach, skilled Banyan Tree therapists deliver total relaxation and rejuvenation. This opulent new spa features six deluxe treatment rooms, two royal treatment rooms, a hydro and vitality pool, hammam and a special yoga room.

A variety of water sport activities will be available for guests to enjoy. Thrill seekers can go scuba diving, wakeboarding, jet-skiing or go in search of whales and dolphins who frequent the bay; while adventure lovers can hike into the Rif Mountains or venture to nearby Cabo Negro; renowned for its sandy beaches for horseback riding. There is also something for golfing enthusiasts with a choice of two superb courses nearby; the Cabo Negro Royal Golf club in Tetouan, or the Tangier Royal Golf club, both located in the beautiful foothills of the Rif Mountains.

There are several beautiful towns and villages, rich in culture and heritage within a few hours’ drive of the resort.

In addition, guests can also visit Tetouan. Locally known as the 'White Dove', the town of Tetouan, a Unesco World Heritage Site and 20 minutes from the resort, is a charming town with an illustrious history. Tangier, 60 minutes from resort, is another option with its famed Kasbah (old fortress), bazaars and souks.
