There's always been a problem for visitors to Marrakech; whether to enjoy the mystic madness of the Medina or the cool tranquillity of the snow capped High Atlas Mountains. It was with this conundrum in mind that the concept of the Atlas Golf Resort was created.

It's an upscale luxury golf resort, surrounded by palm and olive groves, with views across to the mountains, yet only a short distance from the vibrant heart of magical Marrakech. This low density development features two golf courses, a driving range, a golf clubhouse, a commercial centre, a Marriott Hotel and a fantastic selection of apartments, townhouses and villa riads for sale.

The developer is a large reputable Spanish company with extensive experience of building luxury golf resorts in Spain and Morocco and as a further safeguard all properties are offered with a full bank guarantee.

The development is situated only 4km east of Marrakech with access to the main auto-route to Fez and Marrakech.

The architects on this project have remained faithful to the elegant style of Southern Morocco and all the properties are designed and coloured with the traditions and inspirations of Marrakech very much to the forefront. This will create a beautiful, low density enclave where it's possible to enjoy the relaxed pace of life surrounded by bubbling fountains in the cool inner courtyards.

The Apartments

There are one, two and three bedroomed apartments available in the recently launched first phase. The local planning laws in Marrakech do not allow building over two storeys so they are arranged in small personal clusters around the two communal lagoon style pools. All ground floor apartments in Atlas Golf will have private gardens whilst the penthouses will all have a spectacular solarium from where you can enjoy the year round sunshine.

The Villa Riads

There are two, three and four bedroomed Moroccan style riad villas available. All the riad properties in Atlas Golf will be built over two floors and have a garden and rooftop solarium, as well as covered terraces. The riads are arranged in small groups of five around a central garden area and the most impressive examples are frontline to the golf course with panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.
