Discover the delights of a region that boasts year-round sunshine, a rich culture and breathtaking scenery.
The dramatic Atlas Mountain Range ski resorts of Oukaimeden and Mischliffen had remained all but secret and the mountains were simply seen as offering a dramatic backdrop to the exotic and vibrant city of opportunity, Marrakech. Now all that has changed and the ski resort of Oukaimeden in particular is developing as a resort for all seasons.
The entire location around the ski resort is about to be expanded upon by a UAE based global property development company who along with others who share the vision for the creation of a community for all seasons featuring ski and golfing opportunities in the immediate vicinity of Marrakech.
Within easy reach of Marrakech with its international airport and fantastic array of real estate based opportunity, Oukaimeden is a charming resort operational mainly from December to March. The resort currently offers one very long challenging slope as well as a few mostly blue slopes.
The five star Atlas Golf Resort Marrakech consists of a range of high grade and fabulous one-, two- and three-bedroom villas and apartments. As well as the golf course the development boasts swimming pools, sports grounds, bars, restaurants, relaxation areas, landscaped gardens, and courtyards.
Properties are priced from £64,100 / €91,600. For more information contact Experience International on 0800 612 0901 or visit morocco-magic.co.uk.
