1. Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa
About a 1.5-hour drive from Tangier, the posh Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa is in Tamuda Bay on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast, overlooking the surf and sand on M’Diq Beach. We love this property’s design, which features lots of bold colors mixed with elegant decor.
The rooms and suites come with colorful murals and modern amenities like Bose radios. The Sofitel is very kid-friendly and offers a number of different room designs that work for families, including private villa options with a pool and butler service. There are also suites with kitchenettes.
Amenities include a restaurant serving international fare, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, beach access, and a spa with a traditional steam room. Breakfast is included.

2. Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay
Also right on M’Diq Beach, the 5-star Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay is another luxury hotel on this stretch of Mediterranean coastline. This all-villa resort features super swanky one- and two-bedroom homes that each come with private swimming pools. Many of the one-bedroom villas also have kitchenettes and hot tubs. All the two-bedroom villas come with kitchens and separate dining space, and some feature direct beach access.
The resort works well for couples and families alike. If you are traveling with the kids, there is a children’s pool, as well as one for adults. There is also a very posh spa, private beach area, and options for snorkeling or diving and other water sports. Cooking classes can also be arranged.
There are three restaurants on-site, and breakfast is included in the rate.
