Marking the St Regis brands’ entry into Morocco, The St. Regis La Bahia Blanca Resort, Tamuda Bay is now open. Built as a private riad with intimate courtyards and lush gardens, the resort exudes Moroccan charm and pays tribute to the area’s Andalucian cultural legacy. The design of the 83 guestrooms and 17 suites echoes archetypal local white architecture and coastal scenes, translated into a palette of whites, neutrals and blues with bronze accents. Local craftsmanship is celebrated with intricate metalwork, mosaic zellige tiles and tadelakt-style textures. The curated art collection from local artists transports guests to the nearby Tetouan, acclaimed by UNESCO as Morocco’s best-preserved medina.
The resort’s culinary offerings include Baie Blanche Brasserie, a contemporary French brasserie with Moroccan influences; Bahia Vista Beach Bar & Grill, an elegant beachside grill; and an iconic St. Regis Bar, inspired by the King Cole Bar at The St. Regis New York. The Library offers a quiet corner to enjoy a locally inspired take on the acclaimed signature St. Regis Afternoon Tea. At sunset, the nightly St. Regis champagne-sabering ritual begins in the Grand Hall Garden to celebrate the transition from day to night. In addition to the fully equipped exercise room, the spa offers a haven of tranquillity, where all five treatment rooms have been named to celebrate Berber women and their wellness traditions. In partnership with Sothys and marocMaroc, each treatment is an invitation to explore the Moroccan beauty traditions.
