Sofitel has opened a new French Riviera-inspired 5-star beachfront hotel in Morocco.

Surrounded by the spectacular Rif Mountains, the 104-room Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa offers stunning architecture, a contemporary design and an Arty-Chic atmosphere, providing guests with the “perfect blend of leisure and wellbeing.”

Its intensely colourful rooms each have a private balcony and magnificent views of the Mediterranean gardens, pool and beach, whilst the hotel also houses a Royal Suite, five Junior suites, three So Spa Suites, five signature villas and eight Beach suites with private terrace and jacuzzi.

Sofitel chose French-Lebanese architect Galal Mahmoud to design its latest Moroccan property, with inspiration taken from French Riviera glamour of the 1950s and 'Fauviste' artists (including Matisse and Rouault). Striking contemporary architecture is combined with Moroccan influences, seen in geometric motifs and modern reinterpretation of traditional Mashrabiya latticework. Guests staying at Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa can unwind in the huge 1,200sqm SoSPA. Decorated in warm colours, the Spa offers authentic hammam rituals, sauna, hydrotherapy, beauty and detox treatments plus relaxation area. The facility also had a gym and heated swimming pool.

The hotel also has several bars and restaurants, with local and international cuisine on offer. La Voile Bleue offers a refined menu of local produce and fresh seafood inspired by Tamuda Bay, while at Le Marché des Saveurs, guests can dine on international cuisine, indoors or on the terrace overlooking the pool. The welcoming Lobby Koudiaz bar serves chic aperitifs and a selection of tapas all day long, whilst the hotel's trendy So Beach & Night Lounge will soon feature a program of artistic activities. Meeting rooms and private event space is also available. Check availability and prices
