May saw the launch of Sofitel's new 5 star beachfront hotel in Morocco. Stunning architecture, award-winning contemporary design and Arty-Chic atmosphere are set to make Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa undisputed leader in the Kingdom's most exclusive coastal resort.

Celebrating the Riviera lifestyle For guests seeking the perfect blend of leisure and wellbeing, the Sofitel Tamuda Bay Beach & Spa offers 82 chic light-filled and intensely colorful guestrooms, all with private balcony and magnificent views of the Mediterranean gardens, pool and beach. To celebrate the Riviera in style, the hotel proposes the Royal Suite, five Junior suites, three So Spa Suites, five signature villas and eight Beach suites with private terrace and jacuzzi.

French art and Moroccan tradition Sofitel chose French-Lebanese architect Galal Mahmoud to create Tamuda Bay's award-winning design, strongly inspired by French Riviera glamour of the 1950s and 'Fauviste' artists (including Matisse and Rouault). Striking contemporary architecture is combined with Moroccan influences, seen in geometric motifs and modern reinterpretation of traditional Mashrabiya latticework.

SoSPA: an oasis of calm and wellbeing Guests can unwind and chill in the new SoSPA, a vast 1259 sq. metres space entirely dedicated to relaxation. Decorated in warm colours, the Spa offers authentic hammam rituals, sauna, unique hydrotherapy, beauty and detox treatments plus relaxation area. Fitness fans can test the latest So FIT exercise machines and the heated swimming pool.

Hotel restaurant La Voile Bleue offers a refined menu of local produce and fresh seafood inspired by Tamuda Bay, while at Le Marché des Saveurs, guests can dine on international cuisine, indoors or on the terrace overlooking the pool. The welcoming Lobby Koudiaz bar serves chic aperitifs and a selection of tapas all day long. The hotel's trendy So Beach & Night Lounge will soon feature an exceptional program of artistic activities.

Inspired Meetings host seminars, meetings and private events in a paradisiac decor, with a conference center and colorful meeting rooms perfect for product launches or cocktails on the terrace beside the beach.
