New beaches
Whether on the Mediterranean or Atlantic coast, idyllic and still
unexploited beaches will be tomorrow's fashionable seaside resorts.
Here is a taster…
Mediterranean coast
The biggest project on this section of the Moroccan coast is the
seaside resort of Mediterrania-Saïda. Located right opposite
Andalusia and close to the Algerian border, this resort lies in more
than 1700 acres with a 6km white sand seafront. Hotels, apartments
and villas welcome all those who want to take advantage of these
magnificent beaches and the pleasure
port and 18-hole golf course, all close
to two international airports, Oujda and Nador.
Atlantic coast
The Roman archeological site of Lixus, registered on Unesco's World
Heritage list, boasts a superb beach extending
for several kilometers. The beach of El
Jadida in Haouzia, formerly Mazagan, is experiencing a boom and
becoming more
and more successful. This may be due to
the beautiful eucalyptus forest bordering it and the magnificent
golf course nearby. The 50km-long Plage Blanche is located to the
south of Sidi Ifni. The idyllic spot is part of the Plan Azur. A
seaside development due to see the creation of a hotel complex, a
golf course and vacation apartments. Near to Essaouira,
the seaside resort of Mogador has long
fine-sandy beaches cooled by the trade winds creating a warm climate
suited
to board sports. Two 18-hole golf
courses facing the sea charm both experienced amateurs and beginners.
Finally, Mogador benefits from its proximity to Essaouira, famous
both for its thalassotherapy and its Gnaoua music festival. A little
further south, 20km north of Agadir, the little fishing village of
Taghazout is a real paradise for surfers, protected by the
surrounding mountains and enjoying more than 300 days of sunshine a
year! Finally, right in the south, Dakhla and its bay are beginning
to experience significant development, respectful to this
exceptional natural and sporting site.
To remember
Morocco still has numerous treasures to offer. Be the first to enjoy
them. |
