Located in the heart of one of Tangier’s most historic and prestigious sites, this partially finished riad is built directly within the ramparts of the Kasbah. Its commanding vantage point is linked to its former role as a military lookout over the Strait of Gibraltar, and since the seventeenth century, this strategic location has been known as “La Vigie.”
Its listing on the market offers a unique opportunity to create a residence with character or an exceptional hotel project.
The architectural complex forms an integral part of the city’s oldest architectural heritage and retains magnificent arcades and beautiful interior spaces that evoke the city’s prosperity during the Portuguese occupation.
The riad features two separate entrances : one opening directly onto the inner street of the Kasbah, and the other leading to a staircase descending toward the sea. This ideal layout creates a seamless connection between the historic medina and the modern coastline.
With a footprint of 200 m² and 800 m² of living space spread over four levels, the property offers generous spaces and a layout that provides ample freedom for an art and history enthusiast to realize an actuel vision.
Suitable for both commercial and private use, the riad features two spacious reception rooms, eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three kitchens. It offers great potential: a luxury residence, a boutique hotel,… In any case, it will be a reliable investment that meets all the criteria of the high-end market.
The wellness facilities include a traditional hammam and a sauna. Two panoramic terraces offer a 180° view of the Strait of Gibraltar. They were once used as watchtowers to monitor the sea.
