In addition to the 500 properties which Le Jardin de Fleur is due to deliver in early 2009, the Moroccan Authorities have this month granted building licenses for a further eight Le Jardin de Fleur developments. These additional residences ensure that the reputable developer maintains a high level of quality and a variety of resort vacation options in this Government-Backed coastal destination.

The lavish Mediterrania Saïdia project, which will occupy 700 hectares, will comprise of ten 4 and 5 star hotels (17,000 beds) managed by leading chains and more than 3000 residential and tourist villas, apartments and townhouses.

The three 18-hole golf courses will offer championship level golf with superb sea and mountain views. The Mediterrania Saïdia resort will also feature a 1000 berth leisure marina (the largest in the Mediterranean) a nautical centre, yacht club, multiple restaurants and bars in the harbour, a medina and commercial centre with 500 retail outlets and designer brands, spas, sports complex and a health centre.

The magnificent project is located in the Berkane province of Morocco, 5 minutes from Saïdia, a popular tourist resort and fishing village just 40 minutes from Oujda international airport, 3 hours (300 km) north of Fez, and 1 hour (100 km) from the Spanish port of Melilla. Bordered by the Mouloya river and a nature reserve, this idyllic resort stretches over 6 km of pristine beaches, renowned as being among the finest in Morocco.

The international developer behind the project, Property Logic, is joining forces with leading international and boutique hotel brands to create 11 individually designed resorts offering luxury villas with pools, superbly spacious apartments and beachfront hotel-condominiums.

The exclusive Le Jardin de Fleur resorts will feature beautifully designed Moroccan clubhouses, multiple themed restaurants, bars, outdoor and indoor pools, lagoons and gardens, kids clubs and entertainment menus, spas, fitness centres, beach club and a wide variety of on-site sports facilities. Le Jardin de Fleur resorts will also include convention and banqueting facilities, a 1500 sqm Spa & Wellness and an exclusive Beach Club. The ambition of Property Logic to deliver a superior level of luxury will extend to offering access to exclusive Le Jardin de Fleur yachts and sailing boats in the port of Saïdia.

Property Logic will be responsible for building the majority of the tourist properties in Mediterrania Saïdia with a total land value of 65 million euros.

Sean Cusack, Managing Director at Le Jardin de Fleur said: "We are proud to be key players in the creation of the first and the largest of the six Plan Azur coastal resorts that form part of the Moroccan Government’s Vision 2010 Tourism Strategy. Our long-term commitment to the success of Saïdia as a world class tourist destination has clearly been recognized by the Moroccan Government through the granting of a further 8 building licenses. We created Le Jardin de Fleur resorts with the vision to set high standards for a quality 5 star tourism experience."

Mediterrania Saïdia is the first of six government-backed coastal resorts that form part of the Plan Azur tourism strategy to bring 10 million annual visitors to the country by 2010. Significant investment has been injected into the development of the infrastructure, roads and surroundings of Saïdia, in addition to substantial expansion of nearby Oujda International Airport which is expected to provide capacity for numerous chartered and scheduled airline routes over the next two years.

Construction of Mediterrania Saïdia commenced in 2003 and is scheduled to complete by 2010. The first phase which will include Le Jardin de Fleur’s first resort, together with an 18-hole golf course and a 600-room hotel, is due to be open in 2009.
