6 Things that Make Saidia a Luxury Destination in Morocco

Saidia has become one of the star destinations for sun and beach tourism in Morocco, thanks to its natural conditions but also to the great investment of the Moroccan government to promote this last town on the Mediterranean coast, on the border with neighboring Algeria. It is known for being the favorite destination of the upper-middle class of Moroccan society, but it is increasingly opening up to international tourism. And in this post we tell you the reasons that make it a place to enjoy a truly premium vacation.

Quality Beaches

The first element that makes Saidia a place worthy of a top vacation is its coastline: it has several large beaches, with wide sandy areas and a pleasant climate from spring to autumn, with summer being its ideal time. The most important and largest is the municipal one, for public use, with more than 7 km in length and with the prestigious Blue Flag distinction. In addition, in the western sector there are private bathing areas, with equally high quality standards.

A Marina with Activities

The marina of Saidia is one of its symbols. With about 800 moorings, it can accommodate boats up to 60 meters in length and 4 meters in draft. But in addition to offering this key service for premium tourists and adding a distinctive touch to the city’s coastline, it is the epicenter of other recreational water activities, such as jet skis. For all these reasons, the Saidia marina was also awarded its respective blue flag.

Resorts for Relaxation

Very close to the marina is the resort area of Saidia, essential to meet the demands of premium tourists. Some hotels of international hotel chains have their facilities here, and their grounds include swimming pools and solariums as a complement or alternative to bathing on their private beaches. These hotels, by their nature, also house wellness spaces such as spas and massage centers, as well as gyms and top-quality restaurants.

Premium Beach Bars

In Saidia, relaxation spaces are not only found in the resorts’ grounds, but also on the aforementioned municipal beach. Here are several beach bars that are distinguished by their exclusivity, because in addition to a bar area with a terrace they also usually offer sunbeds and umbrellas. Or it would be more appropriate to speak of authentic sofas with cushions, creating a chill out atmosphere on the seafront.

Golf Courses

Golf is a special sport, which many premium tourists associate with their vacations. Therefore, in a luxury destination, a golf course cannot be missing… And this is the case in Saidia, whose Golf Lacs course (for the lakes that mark the entire site), is located in the heart of the resort area and on the beachfront, which makes it even more special. There are 18 entertaining holes, with par 72 and just over 6 km of total length.

Summer Leisure

It is true that Saidia turns off its lights in the winter season, but when the heat makes an appearance, the whole city comes alive thanks to the typical summer activities. This is the case of the water park called Alpamare: it usually opens its doors for June 1, which is great news for families with children who come to spend their vacations here. Slides and a wave pool are its great attractions, which are enjoyed by visitors of all ages, in a thematically decorated environment equipped with lawns and restaurants to spend the whole day.
