I am going to build my villa in a small village on the Atlantic coast called Beddouza.

The North of Morocco is Africa’s closest point to Europe, I can remember back In the 70’s one of my army postings was a six month tour in Gibraltar, from the camp I was stationed at you could easily see the Moroccan coast, a few miles away. It never even crossed my mind that one day I would end up living there.

El Beddouza Best Beaches In Morocco

The main coastal route runs from Tangier in the north right down the coast line to Agadir in the south, my place is about half way between the two, the land edges right up to the coast road cross the road and you’re on the beach. The road is not that busy and is mostly used by tourists, who drive along for the breath taking scenery and fantastic sea views.

Beddouza Is on the Atlantic coast

My little bit of Morocco is very near a village called El Beddouza . Beddouza is really small one hotel one restaurant a couple of shops and about 500 inhabitants. If you look at the map of morocco you will see half way down the Atlantic coast there s a dogs leg bend this is Beddouza, the locals call it Cap Beddouza or in Brit speak Cape Beddouza. There are miles and miles of sandy beaches and depending on the weather great big Atlantic breakers, fantastic for surfing, and the best bit it is just about deserted. You can have a mile of beach to yourself, or you can move near to the village where there are people and life-guards on duty.
I loved this place as soon as I saw it, the beaches and sea are spotless, the weather is great 95% of the year, and the views are spectacular.

 

So this is where I am going to build my Villa. Now to start the planning, anyone know a good architect? Or a good house design software package? Building my Moroccan villa in Beddouza.

 

I have a feeling that Beddouza will become a tourist hotspot soon enough.
