History
Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay opened on 1 September 2016 as the brand's first African property and the first all-pool-villa resort on Morocco's Mediterranean. Ninety-two villas (about 200 to 423 square metres) sit in Fnideq between the Rif Mountains and the Strait of Gibraltar, a few kilometres from Tetouan's UNESCO Andalusian medina. Architrave used Andalusian-Moorish arabesque and mashrabiya, travertine, cedar, and brass. The private-villa model was born in Phuket in 1994. Guests can see the Spanish coastline from the shore. Chefchaouen is about a 90-minute drive. Dining includes Saffron, the brand's Thai kitchen, plus Mediterranean and grill rooms; the spa keeps a hammam.
The setting
The resort sits in Fnideq on Tamouda Bay, near the port city of Ceuta and Tetouan in northern Morocco. The official site emphasizes the setting between the Mediterranean coast and the Rif Mountains, with nearby Tetouan’s UNESCO-listed medina and Andalusian-Moroccan heritage shaping the area’s appeal.
