Cabo Negro

Cabo Negro is one of the most prestigious seaside resorts on Morocco's Mediterranean coast, located just a short drive from the city of Tetouan. Set against a backdrop of lush green hills, the town is characterized by its elegant white-washed villas and Mediterranean-style architecture. It is a premier destination for those seeking a sophisticated beach escape, offering a blend of luxury, privacy, and remarkable natural scenery. The wide, sandy beach is the heart of the resort, excellent for sunbathing and water activities. However, Cabo Negro is equally famous for its Royal Golf Club, one of the finest in the country, which has challenging play alongside wide-open views of the Rif Mountains and the sea. The local dining scene features upscale restaurants serving a variety of Mediterranean and Moroccan fusion dishes, often accompanied by sea views. In the summer, the area also provides an animated nightlife with stylish beach clubs. Travelers can reach Cabo Negro via Tetouan’s airport or the nearby port of Tangier. The peak season is from June to September when the Mediterranean weather is at its best and the resort is fully operational. During the quieter months, it serves as an excellent base for exploring the rich cultural heritage of Northern Morocco, including the UNESCO-listed Medina of Tetouan.
