On Location: BTS At Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay

Morocco’s lesser-known Mediterranean coast was the moody backdrop for C&TH’s escape-themed cover shoot with model Alice Stoner. The country is enjoying a much-needed tourism comeback after its devastating earthquake in 2023 that destroyed so much and the lives of so many.

Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay, just a short hop from Gibraltar and a one and a half hour’s drive from Tangier, is a new jewel to put on your travel radar. It’s the ideal spot for those seeking discreet luxury, a stunning location and impeccable service, away from the hustle of bustle of a city.

Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay

This recent addition to the Royal Mansour portfolio fuses Moroccan craftsmanship with contemporary design, its sand-hued villas sitting in natural harmony with the turquoise sea, the mountains just beyond a magnificent backdrop.

Blending intricate zellige tilework, carved wooden details, and lush gardens, each element in the suite- and villa-only resort has been crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail seen in its Marrakech counterpart, yet with a coastal twist. The open courtyards, fountains and pathways echo that of a Moroccan riad, while the panoramic sea views ensure an epic sense of space.

The surrounding landscape, from Tetouan’s UNESCO-listed medina to the majestic Rif Mountains, embody the region’s rich cultural heritage, while the ocean location offers a rich array of activities, from cruises to seabobs and canoes.
