Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay

Thousands of seashells cover the lobby walls of this grand seaside resort on what Moroccans call their Riviera, and that's before you get to the zellige tile, marble mosaics, and hand-carved wood brought together by artisans working in traditional craft. Suites come with four-poster beds and private terraces; beachfront villas add their own pools and dedicated butlers. The spa and the dining rooms, run by a roster of European chefs, give guests reasons not to leave.
