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. |
