Morocco Luxury Tourism Expands as Four Seasons Announces New Resort in Tangier

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is to debut a new luxury resort in Morocco that will open on 8 October 2026, featuring 99 rooms and suites including 27 free-standing villas along the Mediterranean coast. The new Four Seasons Resort Tangier will be perched on a dramatic hillside within Royal Resort Cap Malabata, in view of the Strait of Gibraltar.

The hotel will be an iconic addition to Morocco’s premium hospitality landscape and a new beach destination in close proximity to the rich cultural attractions of Tangier for visitors travelling from around the world. Royal Resort Cap Malabata has the support of GFH Bank and will deliver the project in collaboration with Four Seasons.

The company has yet to announce an opening date, room rates, or reservation schedule.

Four Seasons Resort Tangier to Bring Mediterranean Luxury to Morocco

The upcoming Four Seasons Resort Tangier will combine contemporary accommodation with Morocco’s coastal scenery and cultural identity. The property will feature more than 260 metres of waterfront, giving guests access to expansive sea views and dedicated relaxation spaces.

Architectural firm Arjitec will oversee the building design, while Goddard Littlefair will create the interiors. Together, the firms aim to establish a luxury hospitality destination that complements its surroundings.

The planned accommodation includes standalone villas alongside guest rooms and suites. The resort will target couples, families and international travellers seeking premium accommodation away from the city’s busiest districts.

Luxury Villas, Waterfront Dining and Spa Facilities Await Travellers

Four Seasons plans to introduce extensive leisure and hospitality facilities at its Tangier resort. Guests will find swimming pools, waterfront lounging areas and four restaurants serving Moroccan-inspired and international cuisine.

A full-service spa and fitness centre will support wellness-focused holidays. Families will also benefit from the brand’s Kids For All Seasons programme, which offers activities for younger guests.

The property will include flexible indoor and outdoor venues for business meetings, private celebrations and special occasions. Its waterfront setting will also appeal to travellers planning destination weddings and luxury events in northern Morocco.

How to Reach Four Seasons Resort Tangier by Air and High-Speed Train

Tangier’s transport connections will make the new resort accessible to domestic and international visitors. Four Seasons estimates a journey of approximately 15 minutes from the city’s high-speed railway station and 45 minutes from Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport.

Morocco’s national railway operator, ONCF, operates Al Boraq high-speed trains linking Tangier with Kenitra, Rabat and Casablanca. Travellers can purchase tickets through the official railway booking system.

Visitors arriving by air can use Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport, which Morocco’s National Airports Office identifies under the airport code TNG.

Guests should arrange onward transfers before travelling, particularly when arriving late or carrying substantial luggage.

Explore Tangier’s Medina, Kasbah and Famous Coastal Attractions

Outside of the resort there’s also something more to see for visitors to the Moroccan city with a blend of history, scenic views and culture to enjoy. This is what is promoted by the Moroccan National Tourist Office.

Strolls through the maze of the old town, browse local crafts and enjoy Tangier’s unique buildings.

Enjoy visiting the Caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel with spectacular coastal scenery great for sightseeing!

There are also beaches, seaside boulevards and cultural sights to inspire tourists to enjoy luxury lodging and to venture out on their own.

Morocco Travel Guide: Entry Requirements and Booking Information

International tourists planning a Tangier holiday should check passport validity and visa eligibility before departure. Morocco’s official tourism authority explains that visa requirements vary according to nationality.

Four Seasons Strengthens Its Luxury Hotel Network Across Morocco

It will be the fourth property in the country for the company, which currently has properties in Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat.

The new opening will also offer the luxury market another address to the company’s portfolio of Moroccan properties, injecting a taste of coastal med experience to an established stable of urban resorts.

Travellers looking to explore the culture of cities like Marrakech and Fes but also want to relax by the waterside should consider the proximity of new luxury resort hotels in Tangier to the Strait of Gibraltar.

The initiative will add new higher-end accommodation options for the hospitality industry in Morocco, and strengthen Cap Malabata’s position as a high-end tourism destination.
