TAMUDA BAY
aBOUT THE CITY
One of the newest developments in Morocco, Tamuda Bay is a gorgeous place to stay on the Mediterranean coast. A short distance from Tangier, it makes the most of a wonderful stretch of land between Fnideq and M’diq, where the sand is golden, the waters are crystal clear and the weather is almost always good. There are plenty of high quality hotels and resorts to stay at, and everything there is designed for you to have fun, whether you enjoy golf, watersports, shopping or scuba diving. To the south and west of Tamuda Bay are the Rif Mountains, great for exploring if you get tired of the sand and surf.

TAMUDA BAY BEACHES
The beach at Tamuda Bay is one of the main reasons that this resort is becoming so popular with tourists and locals alike. On the north coast of Morocco, close to the city of Tangier, the beach at this relatively new development is long and sandy, with gentle breezes to cool the heat of the day. This means you can enjoy lazing about on the golden sands, soaking up the warm Moroccan sunshine, or hit the crystal blue sea and indulge in some of the many water activities on offer, from jet-biking to scuba diving.
TAMUDA BAY FAMILY DAYS OUT
One of Morocco’s newest holiday resorts, Tamuda Bay is an ideal destination for a family. It’s in a region with long, beautiful sandy beaches where you and your children can relax or play. There are also plenty of ways to take part in a wide range of water sports, whether you want to go surfing, scuba diving, kayaking or jet-skiing. When the sea gets a bit rough, or if you just fancy a change, visit the nearby water park with its large swimming pools and exhilarating range of waterslides.
Away from the water there are places in Tamuda Bay where you can race in go-karts and enjoy the rides of a funfair. You can also venture into the nearby countryside, discovering the Rif mountains and Morocco’s stunning landscape.
TAMUDA BAY FOOD AND DRINK
When you’re hungry in Tamuda Bay, head to Mohammed V Avenue where you’ll find a pedestrianised street lined with restaurants, cafes and street vendors.
For a truly traditional experience visit the town’s Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is a great place to uncover the area’s multicultural heritage, including the cuisine. Whether it’s something cooked or the raw ingredients you’re sure to find something here to tempt your tastebuds. Situated on the Moroccan Mediterranean coast the seafood here is fresh and plentiful and you should attempt to try as much of it as possible. And if you’re looking for something to drink, try the ZaaZaa, a mix of avocado, almonds, apple and banana: the ultimate superfood cocktail and refreshingly exotic.
TAMUDA BAY GOLF
If you’re looking for a place to give your clubs an airing when you visit Morocco, then why not take them to Tamuda Bay? Once you’re here you can pit your skills against the fairways and greens of the Royal Cabo Negro Golf Course at Tetouan. This duneland course was developed in the mid-eighties and has been entertaining golfers ever since.
To play at Royal Cabo you’ll need a handicap (28 for men, 36 for ladies) and a certificate from your home club to prove it. Once you have, the course is yours. Be careful of the dense shrubbery when you approach the greens, and stay alert on the fifth hole; it’s on the side of a hill and a river runs through it.
TAMUDA BAY HERITAGE
Tamuda Bay may be a new resort, but nearby Tetouan has enough heritage for both. Standing at the foot of the Rif mountains, this city of white buildings and palm lined streets is a perfect place to explore the multicultural history of northern Morocco.
As with many other Moroccan cities, the Medina is the place to go to discover the heritage of Tetouan. It may be relatively small, but that just works in your favour as it gives you the chance to explore without losing your bearings. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is divisible into three sections: Berber, Jewish and Andalusian, reflecting the area’s mixed heritage.
TAMUDA BAY LUXURY
Tamuda Bay is going to be the place to go in Morocco over the next few years, so now is your chance to visit and enjoy a luxury stay before the rest of the world catches on. There are already several lavish hotels and resorts to choose from, with many more being planned. It’s a high quality place to stay (the King of Morocco has a palace just fifteen kilometres away), with the rich blue waters of the Mediterranean lapping on to long golden sands and the Rif mountains an ever present backdrop. In town you’ll be able to enjoy the excellent spas and try the ancient Greek treatment of thalassotherapy, or you can head out to sea from the pleasure port filled with yachts and cruisers, and enjoy culinary delights at one of the five star restaurants.
TAMUDA BAY MOTORCYCLING
Tamuda Bay may be better known as a beach resort, but it’s also a great area to explore from the saddle of a motorbike, either as a day trip or as part of a longer tour along Morocco’s Mediterranean coast.
The exotic city of Tangier is only a short journey from Tamuda Bay – to get there you ride along the main road that runs through the nearby Rif mountain range. Full of enjoyable climbs and descents through spectacular mountain countryside, it’s a trip that underlines the old adage that ‘it’s as much about the journey as it is the destination’.
More good riding can be found along the N16, a road that hugs the coast tightly and leads all the way to the Algerian border. With the Mediterranean on one side, and dramatic hill country on the other it can be hard to keep your eyes on the road!
TAMUDA BAY PEOPLE
Tamuda Bay is a place that exists to serve the tourism industry. This means that it’s one of the most welcoming places in Morocco, visitors are made to feel at home by the locals as soon as they arrive. Most of the residents are at least bi-lingual, ensuring that there are no communication problems to spoil your stay, and like several of the other northern towns there is a strong Andalusian influence that mixes with the Amazigh heritage, giving the people who live in the area a European tinge to go with their strong African roots.
TAMUDA BAY TREKKING
Tamuda Bay is an area that seems to have everything you want in one place, but it also makes a very good base for anyone who wants to take a trek out to the surrounding areas. The Rif mountains are always an extremely popular destination, and people regularly make their way on foot up onto it’s oak-clad slopes to explore this area more.
Being on the coast it’s also a great place to go on a beach trek, following the sand to the north or the south and exploring this beautiful part of the world on foot or from the back of a horse.
