Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay
With its whitewashed villas, Michelin-calibre dining, and a wellness offering to rival Europe’s best, Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay reframes Morocco’s north coast as a destination for travellers seeking rest, ritual, and refinement.
A low-rise, high-comfort resort, Royal Mansour’s third property lands on Morocco’s lesser-known Mediterranean coastline, just outside the Andalucian-influenced city of Tetouan, on a wind-cooled beach.
The hotel’s 55 villas are all detached and secluded, bordered by soft foliage and bathed in the kind of natural light that makes everything glow. Each features a private garden, pool, and shaded seating area, ideal for long breakfasts and quiet reading hours. The food is excellent too, with Italian, French, Spanish and Mediteranean cuisines served across four restaurants, backed by a chef with Michelin credentials.
But the headline here is wellness. The Médispa, spanning over 4,300 square metres, is a regional leader not just in scale, but in intent. Inspired by the life principles of the Blue Zones – regions known for their extraordinary health and exceptional life expectancy – the Medi-Spa programme offers a comprehensive approach, combining advances in longevity with ancient holistic medicine practices.
