Marriott International will launch the Marriott Hotel Taghazout Bay in 2019 as part of the Moroccan National Tourism Strategy “Vision 2020” plan. Located on the banks of Taghazout Bay in Agadir, Morocco, the new-build will be crafted by Wilson Associates‘ Dubai studio to emphasize simplicity, national craftsmanship, and national culture.
The bay’s natural surroundings will serve as a key influence on the design, which will combine rich textures with handcrafted details. Warm notes will accent contemporary accommodations, which will be anchored by a restrained color palette. Selected finishes in public spaces and F&B areas will also reflect the overall natural material palette and warm tones. Resort amenities will include an 18-hole golf course, a residential area, an Argan museum, central amusement park, and a range of retail and dining options. A coastal surf village will also be created.
All F&B outlets, including the lobby bar, will embrace alfresco seating, while all interior architecture will be outfitted with the tropical climate in mind.
