PROUD OPENING OF MEDITERRANIA SAIDIA

The new destination of Mediterrania Saïdia was officially inaugurated over a two day event on June 18th and 19th with a medley of activities, a lavish gala dinner and a captivating fireworks and laser show.

Upon special invitation only, the event attracted over 1,500 people including His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Prince Moulay Rachid and Prince Moulay Ismail, plus officials from the Tourism Ministry, the developers who are involved in bringing this resort to fruition, the hotel operators, supporting local residents, individual investors and a selection of press representatives.

The considerable celebrations were in recognition of the “Vision 2010’s” first official opening – the 1 billion euro new destination of Mediterrania Saïdia is the most mature part of the King’s tourism plan which comprises the redevelopment of a total of 6 key locations throughout the country. Each new destination has been specifically master planned to enhance the opportunities available to the area, raising job prospects for local communities and bringing Morocco as a whole to the forefront of the international tourism market.

The focal point of the event was performed at midnight on the Friday evening with a grand fireworks and laser show which lit up the skies above the marina. The impressive display revealed imagery and explosions of colour that could be seen for miles around from land and sea – clearly publicising the destination’s proud celebrations.

The new destination’s grand celebrations coincided with the opening of many of Mediterrania Saïdia’s key facilities including the 450 room Iberostar resort and the 680 room Barcelo Hotel and beach club, in addition to the inauguration of the first of three 18 hole golf courses, El Palmeral, managed by Troon Golf and host to the 6th Annual Moroccan Throne Cup, the 1350 berth marina which hosted its first Grand Regatta, and the Medina Saidia shopping centre.

The development of Mediterrania Saïdia continues with many more touristic and residential properties scheduled to complete over the coming years along with two more 18 hole golf courses, a sports centre, additional hotels and beach clubs and much more.

The Property Logic management team attended the event, along with the hotel management partners for Le Jardin de Fleur resorts in Saidia.
