My Stay at Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort: Moroccan Magic by the Atlantic
After a comfortable three-hour direct flight with Royal Air Maroc from Manchester, I touched down in Casablanca feeling excited for my Moroccan escape. The arrival process couldn’t have been smoother. I breezed through security, collected my luggage with ease, and was warmly greeted by my private driver. From there, it was just a scenic one-hour drive along the coast to my home for the next few nights: the spectacular Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort.
From the moment we pulled up, I was struck by the grandeur of the place. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and rolling sand dunes, Mazagan felt like its own little world — a blend of Moroccan tradition and modern luxury. The sprawling grounds are beautifully maintained, with fragrant gardens full of bougainvillaea, palm-shaded courtyards, and quiet corners where you can just sit and soak up the atmosphere. The sound of the ocean is never far away, and neither is the friendly smile of the staff, who made me feel at home instantly.
Adventure, Relaxation & Everything in Between
What I loved most about Mazagan was the balance between adventure and relaxation. One morning, I woke early for a rejuvenating stretch and yoga session led by a personal trainer right on the beach — breathing in the salty air and looking out over the serene Atlantic was truly the perfect way to start the day. Later, I swapped zen for adrenaline, trying my hand at quad biking across the dunes and even a few laps on the go-karting track. Both were fantastic fun, and the staff made sure everything was perfectly safe and seamless.
For those who prefer a slower pace, the resort offers a stunning luxury spa complete with its own hammam — a traditional Moroccan ritual that left me feeling both relaxed and re-energized. The beach itself stretches on for miles, with soft golden sand and plenty of space to find your own peaceful spot.
A Feast of Flavour
No trip to Morocco would be complete without indulging in the local cuisine, and Mazagan absolutely delivers on this front. Every meal was a delight — authentic tagines, fresh seafood, and perfectly spiced couscous, all served with that unique Moroccan warmth and hospitality. From fine dining restaurants to more casual poolside spots, there’s something to suit every mood, and I can’t help but mention how good the fresh mint tea tasted after a day in the sun.
Something for Everyone
What really struck me about Mazagan was just how much there is to do — it’s one of those rare resorts that truly has something for everyone. For couples, the romantic sunsets, quiet gardens, and luxurious spa make it a dreamy escape. Families are equally well-catered for, with an excellent kids’ club, safe beach areas, and even pony rides. Golf lovers can enjoy a world-class 18-hole course designed by Gary Player, while those looking for a little nighttime excitement will find it at the on-site casino.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re here for the adventure, the tranquillity, the food, or simply to unwind by the ocean, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort has it all. I left feeling completely recharged, with memories of golden sunsets, Moroccan flavours, and that ever-present Atlantic breeze.
If you’re looking for a destination that combines authentic culture, luxurious comfort, and a wealth of activities, Mazagan is hard to beat.
