Head down to the water’s edge in Mazagan and you’ll discover some lovely beaches. The sand is a strong yellow colour contrasting prettily with the turquoise blue of the ocean and there are very few stones to disrupt a barefoot walk.

The beaches span the whole length of Mazagan, which gives you plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy yourself. Whether you’re a bucket-and-spade fan, a Frisbee chaser, a splasher or a swimmer, or even a book and beach towel kind of person, the beaches of Mazagan will more than meet your needs.

This port city on the Atlantic coast has plenty to offer a hungry traveller, whether it’s traditional stews and tagines, Mediterranean-style dishes such as kebabs and pizzas, or delicious seafood pulled fresh from the blue waters that surround Mazagan.
Many of the city’s best restaurants are around the coastal edge of Mazagan, giving you spectacular views over the ocean as you tuck into your meal of fried fish with chili sauce or aubergine tapenade. Oysters are somewhat of a speciality here too – the famous beds of nearby Oualidia provide the restaurants of Mazagan with this aquatic delicacy.
Further into the city you’ll find more restaurants and cafes, and away from the seafront and the tourist areas it’s very easy to find a seat in an authentic Mazagan restaurant for a taste of the real Morocco.

The Mazagan Golf Course is the longest course in Morocco, covering a whopping 7,484 yards. If that, combined with it being par 72, sounds a little intimidating you’ll be happy to discover that there are several tee spots to start from; so golfers of all abilities can enjoy this excellent course. It’s a Gary Player design which follows the contours and natural features of the land and has the feel of a true links course throughout. Broad fairways and tricky contours characterise each hole, as well as some stunning views across the Atlantic. It’s a course with plenty of risk/reward shots, making Mazagan Golf a fun, challenging place to play.

Registered as a UNESCO world heritage site in 2004, Mazagan is an imposing city with stunning traditional features running throughout. The many hammams are visited by a wide variety of people, with the spectacular tile work giving even the smallest building a sense of grandeur. Whilst lying on the floor in the steam room, you can gaze at the exquisite tiles which have remained the same for centuries, retaining their bright vibrant colours and patterns.
The dry heat which rolls off the ramparts of the city, combined with the salty sea breeze means that the chance to relax in the hydrating steams of the hammams is an essential part of life in Mazagan, and an experience not to be missed.

Just an hour’s drive away from Casablanca, Mazagan is a great place to take a seriously indulgent holiday. There is the world class five star Mazagan Beach Resort and a range of other hotels in this coastal town, and during your stay you’ll be surrounded by stunning scenery and awe-inspiring architecture.

From the outside, Mazagan resembles a Portuguese port, rather than a Moroccan city. The Europeans came to the city in 1502 and stayed for over 250 years, leaving their mark on both the architecture and the people. This conflux of Moroccan and Portuguese heritage makes Mazagan a fascinating place to visit.

The people of Mazagan have the same outlook on life that is found in so many Moroccan towns along the coast. There is a calm air about the place, and as it is such a popular destination for holidaymakers visitors are made extremely welcome wherever they are in the city.

Mazagan is developing a global reputation as a luxurious retreat thanks to the five star Beach and Golf Resort. Built alongside seven kilometres of long Atlantic beach, the sunsets across the water are always spectacular.

The resort is designed to ensure you leave relaxed and refreshed. Spend some time in the award-winning spa centre, indulge in a traditional hammam, play a round on Morocco’s longest golf course and enjoy a delightful meal in one of the fine restaurants before enjoying the evening’s entertainment. Mazagan is already a must-visit for Hollywood’s A-listers – visit soon and find out why.

Like most of the towns and cities along Morocco’s Atlantic coast, Mazagan has some lovely surf spots for you to enjoy. The bay is north facing and with a north-west swell the waves are consistent in all tides. Peaks reach up to eight foot high, and when the wind swings in from the south the offshores are impressive. A range of surf schools is available and they’ll also rent you the gear you need, from bodyboards to longboards. It’s easy to find accommodation in El Jadida too, allowing you to enjoy the surf in the knowledge of a comfortable night.
