Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa

Hilton Tangier Al Houara Resort & Spa is an Atlantic coast resort in Al Houara, about 30 km south of Tangier on the RN1 coastal road, in Morocco's Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima region. It is a destination resort rather than a city hotel: the medina, Kasbah and Ville Nouvelle are a drive of roughly half an hour or more, and guests arriving by air or ferry normally need a car or a pre-arranged transfer. The surroundings are open coastal land, with a golf course, beachfront access and sea air, which makes the property popular for short escapes from Tangier and for golf-oriented stays. The architecture follows the resort format, with low-rise buildings, landscaped grounds and pool areas oriented toward the ocean, and a relaxed, holiday atmosphere. Accommodation is offered as standard rooms, double or twin rooms and suites, all with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and nightly rates of about MAD 1,300 to 2,800 reflect the five-star category and the seasonal swing between summer and winter. Dining takes place in the resort's restaurants, which generally serve international and Moroccan dishes, with breakfast buffets and poolside meals; because the surrounding area has few alternatives, guests tend to eat on site. Leisure facilities include pools, a spa, a fitness centre and the neighbouring golf course, plus the beach itself, where Atlantic swell and wind mean swimming conditions should be checked locally. Service is resort-style and family-friendly, with room for couples, golfers, groups and weekend visitors from Tangier and the Spanish side of the Strait. The staff can arrange excursions to Asilah, Cape Spartel, the Caves of Hercules and the medina. Visitors who want to explore Tangier daily may find the distance inconvenient, while those seeking a self-contained stay by the ocean will find the location an advantage. Booking ahead is wise for summer weekends and public holidays.
