Work started on the Samanah Country Club just six months after the signing of an investment convention between the Alain CRENN Group and the Moroccan government.
The largest housing and tourism project in Marrakech got under way on a magnificent 285-hectare site with an unobstructed view of the Atlas Mountains : very luxurious villas and riads built around a golf course designed by Nicklaus Design, a real village with its square, its shops and restaurants and three 5-star hotels.
The Samanah Country Club, with its architecture based on the Moroccan tradition and its top-level building quality is intended to be a place where all the facilities will be a natural complement to relaxation and the keyword will be “way of life”.

This is a really large-scale project, just 10 minutes' drive from the airport and 15 minutes from the Medina ; the show riad, decorated throughout by the SM Design Company, will be completed in January 2007. Over the last few years Marrakech, the red city, has become a leading destination for international top quality tourism. It has a large number of advantages: the friendly local people, good service and a pleasant way of life, a warm and stable climate for most of the year, and Europe is not far away. All this goes to make Marrakech Morocco 's leading place for holidays today.

Relax on the golf course and in the spa, do your shopping in the local shops and enjoy a meal in the restaurants… the whole development has the stamp of a refined way of life which will make you feel good. This is the concept of the Samanah Country Club.

Such a high quality property development needed a top quality golf course. In choosing Nicklaus Design, there was no doubt that the golf course would be a match for the high quality of the development.The golf course is the dominant feature of the project. This is an exceptional course, which presents real difficulties but which doesn't have any pointless hazards; all golfers will enjoy its challenge. This design philosophy is a requirement which Nicklaus Design has applied to 250 golf courses, many of which are now recognized as being among the best in the world.

The attractiveness of the area for golfers is gradually causing the three courses currently available to become saturated. The idea of a new golf course appealed to the government when the convention was signed and will certainly appeal to the future owners of a villa or a riad at the Samanah Country Club

Furthermore, the project presented by the Architecture et Développement consultancy firm satisfied all requirements: harmonious architecture and a perfect building strategy, which takes into account all the constraints relating to life and organization in such an area.
Partners chosen for developing the gardens, for the decoration of the riads, and for all the building work have demonstrated that they can meet the requirements of extremely demanding specifications.

Strengths and competences have been brought together to make this project a luxurious and harmonious development. The talent of the architects, the fame of the greatest golfer of all time and the experience of the Alain Crenn Group are all guarantees of success, this makes the SAMANAH COUNTRY CLUB the leading name in the Marrakech area.
