TANGIERS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
The Mediterranean Experience
|
|
The Moroccan Mediterranean experience is unique, with the ability to indulge in
your own private villa in front of a blue-crystal Mediterranean sea, at less than
15 minutes from Europe. The capital of the Moroccan Mediterranean, Tangier, is the
closest African city to Europe. Tangier combines the interests of a traditional
city with its medina and souks, with the ability to enjoy Magnificent sandy beaches,
both on the Atlantic and Mediterranean side. A picturesque city, built on several
hills, with beautiful views on the sea, Tangier has been dearly and consistently
loved by artists: Delacroix, Saint-Saïns, Matisse, Van Dongen, Tenessee Williams,
Jean Genet, Joseph Kessel, William Burroughs and Paul Bowles to name a few, have
all lived in Tangier.
At only 60 km from Tangier, Kabila and Marinasmir are the two Moroccan chic seaside
resorts known for their delightful beach, washed by translucent waters. Under a
blue sky, the lofty palm trees wave lazily above the luxurious villas, and Villas
of Morocco properties are certainly the most exclusive beach properties in Morocco.
Located on the same beach, Kabila and Marinasmir have each their private marinas,
ideal for escapes in the Mediterranean sea or the nearby Spanish hot spots such
as Marbella and Puerto Banus, at only two hours.
A few minutes from there, Cabo Negro is on a privately accessed hill, with stunning
pool properties, and romantic views on the Mediterranean sea.
