"An all-pool villa escape set on a pretty private beach, Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay boasts indulgent accommodations, inspired dining and a beautiful spa."

Located on a 700-metre stretch of private beach that tumbles into the Mediterranean Sea, Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay is a blissful escape for those seeking an indulgently private Moroccan holiday. Spanning 26 beautiful hectares between the sea and the Rif mountains, this scenic getaway boasts just 92 accommodations, each and every one of which is a private pool villa.

Seven categories of pool villas offer a good bit of variety to choose from, and come in either one- or two-bedroom configurations. Exteriors are a reflection of classic riad-style architecture – think white stuccoed walls, turquoise tiled roofs and ornate lattice screening. Within, Moroccan tradition combines with a light touch of Asian influence to create spaces that feel sophisticated and serene. High ceilings and oversized stand-alone tubs heighten the feeling of grandeur, as do the gorgeous outdoor areas with their elegant pools.

Culinary influences from both near and far make their presence known in the resort's dining scene, which comprises five restaurants in all. Begin your day in the sun at the seaside restaurant Azura, which showcases Mediterranean fare for breakfast and lunch. Traditional Moroccan dishes in a beautiful dining room can be enjoyed at Tingitana, while contemporary Thai is the cuisine of choice at Saffron. The iconic Buddha Bar Beach & Rooftop is a must-visit for Asian-fusion delights like Amaterasu platters, ama nasu and salmon ahi pizza. For a bold take on a familiar cocktail, order the Piña Caliente, which incorporates wasabi and roasted pineapple-infused rum. Rounding out the quintet of options is Le EME, a lounge that will be particularly appreciated by whiskey and cigar enthusiasts.

The same blend of Asian and Moroccan influence found in the villas is reflected in the property’s beautiful, sanctuary-esque spa. The spa’s philosophy is built around eight pillars of well-being, creating a holistic and harmonious approach to full-body wellness. Among the signature treatments, the ‘Sense of Place – Moroccan Banyan' is an excellent introduction, combining indulgent pampering with authentic Moroccan traditions, including the restorative rhassoul wrap.

When it comes time to explore, Banyan Tree offers myriad ways to do so by land or by sea. Take to the waves with wakeboarding, jet skiing and underwater scooter excursions, or explore the surrounding landscape by hiking, biking or on four wheels as part of a quad and buggy adventure. Be sure to leave some time for sightseeing to immerse yourself in the rich cultures of nearby cities, including Tétouan, Tangier and Chefchaouen.
