The St. Regis La Bahia Blanca Resort, Tamuda Bay

Character and identity

A debut on Morocco's northern coast that opened in late 2023, this resort interprets St. Regis polish through the language of a beachside riad: crisp white architecture, clean lines, and a deliberate restraint that hands the spotlight to Tamuda Bay's turquoise water. The 100 rooms and suites lean on neutral palettes and natural materials, each with a terrace or balcony framing bay or garden views. The spa, wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, anchors the wellness offer with a traditional hammam, a sunlit spa pool, and facials. A private beach and a photogenic main pool define the days.

Who's it for

Bottom line

The pull here is setting and stillness: a brand-new resort calibrated around the bay views, the spa, and a private stretch of sand, rather than around a dining or nightlife scene. Book it if you want a restorative beach week with Moroccan texture and St. Regis service, choose a bay-view room for the terrace, and lean on the concierge for a Tangier day trip to add range.
