Description
Mazagan sits alone on the Moroccan coast and near to the fortified city of El Jadida, just 45 minutes south of Casablanca. The hotel has 500 rooms and suites that are situated around the swimming pool and gardens and are the main focal point of the resort. All rooms are spacious with an en-suite bathroom and have views of either the pool area or the sea and for families, the hotel can guarantee interconnecting rooms.
The facilities on offer will appeal to many families that are looking for a holiday where there is lots of entertainment for the children. The three different kids clubs cater for children from 3 months to 18 years and are open from 9am – 6pm with dedicated teams who organise a daily children's activity programme tailored to their ages.
The hotel does offer something for the parents too, so if you need some relaxation you can try out some of the ESPA spa treatments, or if it’s golf you like there is a Gary Player designed 18-hole links course. You will be spoilt for choice with the 8 restaurants on offer, from international cuisine to traditional Moroccan gastronomy. If that isn’t enough there is even a Casino and the “Sanctuary” nightclub where you can spend your evening.
We would recommend this property to guests seeking an "adventurous" beach holiday with lots of entertainment for the whole family.

When to travel
Spring (March May) is popular as these months are pleasantly warm and sunny, and the landscape is lush and green. Book well ahead if you want to come over Easter or in the summer months. Autumn (mid Sep-mid Nov) is also lovely, but the countryside tends to look parched. Summer is pretty hot, and winter can be chilly at night.
