Hotel overview

Situated near the Caves of Hercules, outside of town, Le Mirage looks out over a wonderful stretch of beach, although you might be hard-pressed to drag yourself from the luxury of the hotel to explore! Elegant pathways wind their way across lush lawns and down white-washed steps through the cliffs, whilst inside cooling marble is paired with bold-patterned fabrics throughout for a very sophisticated feel. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, and the hotel is dotted with terraces offering wonderful views over the ocean and beach. The perfectly-blue pool is a lovely place to relax and the restaurant is regarded as one of Tangier’s finest. For a bit of indulgence and relaxation, you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere better in the north of Morocco.

Excursion

Day trip to Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is about a 2.5 hour drive from Tangiers and makes a great day visit, but equally rewards those who choose to stay for a night or two to explore. In recent years Chefchaouen (also known simply as Chaouen) has shaken off a rather fearsome and isolationist reputation: until 1920 Christians attempting to enter the town were executed, and more recently it has been the centre of the marijuana-growing industry that proliferates in this part of the Rif Mountains. Perhaps because of this trade, and its remote location, hidden beneath high mountain peaks, the town has a bohemian feel, with a pretty medina of painted houses (often a beautiful blue) with tiled roofs.

Excursion

Exploring Tangier

Ideas for your free time The (relatively) new sections of Tangiers are spread along wide boulevards, and you can drive between them. From the cemetery at St Andrew’s church with its wartime headstones, to the oldest golf course in Africa, your drive will give you a glimpse into the louche world of 19th and 20th-century Tangiers. You can then get out of the car to explore the older parts of the city, the medina and the kasbah. There’s a lovely museum in the kasbah (time permitting) and the medina itself is a warren of commercial and residential streets. The Petit Socco, with its history of prostitution and drug dealing (all long gone now) is a good place to stop for a mint tea and a rest; just outside the medina the Grand Socco square frames the Bab Fass gate beautifully, and is the heart of Beat Tangiers, where Matisse, Saint Saens and Paul Bowles all spent time. Nestled below Cap Spartel, the north-western limit of the African continent, is the Grottes d’Hercule (Caves of Hercules), where legend has it that Hercules resided. More prosaically, through history it has been a quarry, a party venue and a favourite spot for prostitutes! It makes an interesting stop whilst in the area, to explore the beach and snap a picture of the ocean through an Africa-shaped passage in the rock.                          

Excursion

Asilah

About 40 minutes from Tangiers, along the Atlantic coast, is Asilah. It’s typical of many of Morocco’s Atlantic towns, with picturesque battlements buffeted by frothy rollers, and framing beautiful white-washed houses. The medina is home to artisans and shopkeepers attracted by the middle-class Moroccans and foreigners who’ve bought houses here (it’s so popular that in the summer the population increases 5-fold, a good time to avoid!). For the Classically inclined, Lixus is a little further on down the road, a partially excavated Roman/Carthaginian site on a bluff overlooking the ocean.
