As Morocco welcomes 8.9 million tourists in H1 2025, Gulf travelers turn to the Atlantic coast for family-friendly summer retreats.

El Jadida, Morocco, 8 August 2025 –

As summer holidays come to a close, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort is seeing increased interest from GCC families looking to enjoy a final, restorative escape before the school year begins. With its coastal setting, cooler temperatures, and wide-ranging amenities, Mazagan remains a preferred destination for travelers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar.

This demand reflects a broader national trend. Morocco welcomed 8.9 million visitors in the first half of 2025, marking a 19% year-on-year rise, according to the Moroccan Tourism Observatory. Within this momentum, Mazagan continues to resonate with families seeking a short-haul destination that combines cultural comfort, privacy, and well-rounded leisure.

At the heart of the experience is a strong focus on family engagement. Children are welcomed into safe, supervised programs encouraging creativity and exploration, while parents enjoy time to recharge through nature, spa therapies, or quiet beachfront moments.

“As families begin to shift into back-to-school mode, we’re seeing more interest in meaningful short breaks—experiences that offer both relaxation and quality time together,” said Jacques Claudel, General Manager of Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort. “Mazagan is designed with this in mind. It’s a place where every member of the family can feel both independent and connected.”

This season, the resort had introduced new dining concepts that reflect its evolving character. Buddha-Bar Beach returns as a coastal social hub with live entertainment and fusion cuisine, while Summer Grill by George, a terrace pop-up, offers seasonal menus overlooking the golf course and ocean. Evening dining continues at Bushra by Buddha-Bar where contemporary Levantine dishes blend with performance-led ambiance, or at Al Firma for 1001 nights experience under the stars.

Mazagan’s wellness program now includes Kobido, a Japanese facial massage focused on rejuvenation, alongside curated sustainable skincare brands, including natural beauty products from the French brand Le Rouge Français, renowned for its plant-based ingredients rooted in sustainable beauty practices. The resort also maintains a robust lineup of outdoor activities, from horseback riding and watersports to cycling and tennis—encouraging movement and discovery for all ages.

With its newly renovated rooms, temperate climate, and multigenerational appeal, Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort offers Gulf families a final opportunity to relax, reconnect, and ease into the school year with clarity and calm.
