Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa

Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa is a luxury beach resort on Boulevard Principale in M'diq, on the Mediterranean coast of northern Morocco. The resort sits on Tamuda Bay, a sweep of sandy coast between Tetouan and Fnideq, with the town of M'diq nearby and the marina of Marina Smir and the city of Tetouan within a short drive. The Ceuta border crossing at Fnideq is also close, and Tangier's airport and port are roughly an hour or so away by road. The resort follows a French-inspired luxury style with Moroccan touches, designed around the beach, gardens and pools, and it focuses on leisure and family holidays more than sightseeing. Accommodation is offered in Superior Rooms, Suites and Family Rooms, all with air conditioning and WiFi, and many look over the sea or garden. Dining includes several restaurants and a bar, with options ranging from Moroccan and Mediterranean cuisine to international buffets, and breakfast is a wide spread suited to a large resort. Facilities include direct beach access, multiple pools, a full spa and a kids club, which makes the property a popular choice for families in summer. Service is polished and international, with concierge support for excursions to Tetouan's medina, Chefchaouen, Cabo Negro and Ceuta, as well as transfers. The price range is wide, from about 1,500 MAD in low season to 5,400 MAD in high season, reflecting the strong summer demand on this coast. Winter stays are quieter and cheaper but the beach is less appealing and some facilities may reduce hours. The resort suits families, couples seeking a spa break and groups wanting a self-contained holiday. Early booking is strongly advised for July and August and for Moroccan holiday periods.
