Enchantment in Morocco
At Raffles Taghazout, traditional Moroccan architectural style and sophisticated contemporary design will merge seamlessly, reflecting the rich culture, heritage and artistry of Morocco as well as the ambience of cultured luxury that distinguishes Raffles hotels and resorts around the globe.
Continuing to expand into the world's most interesting and exotic destinations, Raffles Hotels & Resorts will manage the new Raffles Taghazout when it opens in 2010. Superbly located on the pristine Atlantic coast with sweeping beachfront views of the azure waters, the resort will feature about 165 luxuriously appointed guest room villas as well as 60 Raffles Residences for private ownership.
Raffles Taghazout, owned by global real estate investment firm Colony Capital, is just 40 minutes drive from Agadir International Airport. Raffles Residences in Taghazout will be available in a variety of options from luxury apartments to private villas with golf course views, all designed to reflect the refined elegance and residential charm for which Raffles is renowned.
Be it leisurely enjoyment or sporting pursuits, residents at Raffles Taghazout will enjoy a myriad of options. For those seeking a pampered spa experience, Raffles Amrita Spa, a signature component of all Raffles hotels and resorts, will provide a sanctuary of tranquillity and privacy. The resort also offers a diverse range of dining options, shopping at a traditional souk, tennis courts, a fitness centre and pool, as well as beach club access. Golf enthusiasts can look forward to playing 18 holes on a course designed by award-winning golf course architect David Kidd. Taking full advantage of a sun-blessed climate all year long, residents at Raffles Taghazout will be assured of an enchanting experience unhindered by routine.
The beauty and mystique of Southern Morocco has long attracted visitors who seek to explore the Marrakech- Agadir-Essaouria Triangle, to discover the rich cultural heritage of the Berbers, North Africa's oldest known inhabitants in the surrounding villages of Tiznit, Taroudant and Tafraout. Raffles Taghazout marks Raffles Hotels & Resorts' second property in Morocco, with Raffles Marrakech anticipated to open in 2010.
