About The St. Regis La Bahia Blanca Resort, Tamuda Bay
- The resort marked the St. Regis brand's debut in Morocco in November 2023, developed by Eagle Hills — the Abu Dhabi private investment firm that has led luxury mixed-use destination projects in Belgrade, Sarajevo, and across the Gulf — making it one of the few Moroccan luxury hotels with a direct Abu Dhabi development lineage.
- In its first full year of operation, the property won Africa's Leading New Resort 2024 at the World Travel Awards — the continent's most closely tracked hospitality industry accolade — beating out new openings across the entire African continent.
- The resort is positioned where the Rif Mountains descend directly to the Mediterranean Sea at Tamuda Bay, a geography that places guests within 20 kilometres of Ceuta, the Spanish sovereign territory on Moroccan soil — one of only two Spanish enclaves on the African continent.
