Alboran Club is the lounge bar of Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay in M'diq, about 25 minutes north of Tetouan on Morocco's Mediterranean coast. It takes its name from the Alboran Sea the resort faces, and the room is laid out as a club rather than a hotel bar, with a library, a cigar lounge, a long bar and a terrace looking over the bay. The resort states that it welcomes visitors as well as hotel guests, from sunrise until long after dark.
Warum hingehen
Alboran Club is the lounge bar of Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay in M'diq, on the Mediterranean coast about 25 minutes north of Tetouan.
It is one of the few high end bars on this coast that explicitly welcomes visitors and not only hotel guests.
The room takes its name and its idea from the Alboran Sea, the westernmost basin of the Mediterranean that the resort looks out on.
Its centrepiece is a spiral staircase modelled on the seashells that wash up on the beach outside.
Musik & Stimmung
A club room rather than a hotel bar: low seating, warm woods, a long bar counter and a patterned stone floor.
The space breaks into parts, so you can take the library, the cigar lounge, a stool at the bar or the terrace.
The terrace opens onto a panoramic view over Tamuda Bay with the Rif behind it.
It runs from sunrise to late, so the same room reads as a quiet morning space and an evening one.
Öffnungszeiten
Alboran Club runs from sunrise until long after the sun has set, in the resort's own words.
Pool Beach, the property's other all day venue, is open from 12:30 to 23:00.
No exact closing time is published, so confirm with the resort if you are planning a late evening.
Einlass
