Taghazout Beach Resort

Taghazout Beach Resort

Agadir, Morocco

An oceanfront setting and building on sand are two of the things I love the most, and the combination of the two is what made this project so attractive.

We plan to design 36 holes here on lands that offer astounding views of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as more than three miles of pristine beach on the Atlantic coast. In addition to its picturesque locale, Taghazout enjoys perfect golfing weather: less than 40 days per year of rain and more than 250 days of sunshine.

The resort is located just north of Agadir, Morocco and is part of King Muhammad VI’s Plan Azur, an initiative to make tourism a national priority. The masterplan calls for six coastal resorts in the country that aim to attract 10 million visitors by 2010.

We are proud to be associated with a project that, in time, promises to become a five-star coastal resort destination that embodies the essence of the Moroccan Riviera.
