Mazagan: A Moroccan Luxury Oasis That Blends the Charm of the Atlantic with Rich Historical Heritage
– Mazagan… A Colossal Tourism Project Thriving on the Shores of the Atlantic
by Rashad Iskandrni
El Jadida – Morocco – 11th June 2025: Set along the Atlantic coastline, just 90 kilometers south of Casablanca, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort rises as a unique architectural gem and luxurious destination that combines refined accommodation with the authenticity of a historic setting. Nestled in the heart of the Doukkala region near the historic city of El Jadida, the resort overlooks seven kilometers of pristine beach, embracing the serenity of the ocean and the splendor of nature.
The resort officially opened its doors in October 2009 as part of the Plan Azur, a national tourism development initiative launched by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, aiming to strengthen Morocco's tourism sector and upgrade infrastructure across coastal areas—particularly in El Jadida, formerly known as Mazagan. Once a Portuguese settlement dating back to 1514, Mazagan began as a fortified citadel and gradually evolved into a lush, dreamy city surrounded by greenery, carrying within its walls centuries of history and cultural coexistence.
Mazagan is now considered one of North Africa's leading tourism projects, with a construction cost exceeding $370 million USD and a development period of 21 months, supported by the efforts of approximately 3,800 workers. The project contributed significantly to local economic growth, generating over 1,400 direct jobs and 2,000 indirect jobs in a region whose economy was traditionally centered on agriculture and fishing.
According to Khadija Idrissi El Hajjami, Director of Communications, Public Relations, and Strategic Partnerships, the result is a world-class resort offering:
500 rooms and suites with stunning ocean views
15 restaurants and bars serving gourmet cuisine
An award-winning spa
A nightclub and North Africa's largest casino
One of the largest conference centers in the region
67 private villas
An 18-hole golf course designed by golf legend Gary Player
A 2,000 m² conference center
Full recreational facilities for children and teens
An integrated farm
Stables housing purebred Arabian horses
A central resort pool
A quad bike adventure experience along the Atlantic shore
Strategically located just one hour from Mohammed V International Airport—one of Africa's busiest airports—and about three hours from most major European capitals, the resort is an ideal destination for luxury seekers and discerning travelers.
An Architectural Masterpiece Celebrating the Spirit of Morocco
Spread across 250 hectares, Mazagan stretches along 7 kilometers of white sandy beaches. Its architectural design is inspired by the essence of traditional Moroccan medinas, with earthen-colored walls and signature green-tiled roofs that reflect Andalusian and Moroccan heritage.
The resort was developed by Kerzner International, a global leader in luxury hospitality, known for iconic brands such as Atlantis, One&Only, and Rare Finds—renowned for creating immersive guest experiences and unmatched service standards.
Located near the historic UNESCO World Heritage city of El Jadida, guests at Mazagan can explore the ancient Portuguese citadel and roam its timeless streets rich with Moroccan authenticity.
Mazagan offers a fully immersive experience for lovers of refined living—from gourmet dining to spa indulgence, championship golf, and breathtaking oceanfront views—making it a symbol of excellence for anyone seeking an unforgettable stay in the heart of Morocco.
