Ben Slimane: Forests, Coast and Nature
Accommodation in Ben Slimane
Benslimane Province has several facets: forests with opportunities for hiking, a 35-kilometre coastline, and natural and cultural sites. It stretches between the metropolises of Casablanca and Rabat. When choosing a holiday rental, you can consider which theme you would like to shape your stay most: beach, forest, natural landscape, culture or golf. The town of Ben Slimane is a distinct place within the province.
Forests and hiking
The province’s forests cover more than 57,000 hectares; Benslimane also has a rich forestry heritage. Hiking is one of the activities associated with these forests. If you enjoy spending time outdoors, this theme offers a practical starting point for planning your trip. Families can consider together whether a stay focused on nature and hiking better suits their interests than a holiday centred mainly on the beach or culture. The area refers to the province’s forests as a whole, not to a single hiking route.
Coast and water sports
With 35 kilometres of coastline, the sea is also part of the province’s character. The beaches of Bouznika, Dahomy and Essanaoubar are associated with diving and water sports. If you would like to make these activities a priority, you can keep the names of these beaches in mind as you explore your options. This makes the coast a clear choice alongside the forests: are you more likely to plan around beaches and water sports, or would you prefer to focus your stay on other landscape and cultural themes? The coastline is a feature of the province; Ben Slimane itself is a place name and should be distinguished from it.
Other natural landscapes
The province’s natural landscape also includes the Oued Mellah reservoir and the Ain Dakhla gorges. Both offer natural landscape features that provide a different perspective alongside the forests and coast. If you are interested in different types of scenery when choosing a destination, you can include these names in your research. The reservoir and the gorges each have their own character: one is a reservoir, while the others are gorges. Together with the extensive forest areas, they show that the province’s natural landscapes are not limited to a single type.
Culture and golf
Kasbah Bouznika is one of the province’s cultural landmarks. Those interested in culture can include it as a distinct theme in their travel plans alongside the coast and nature. Another focus is Royal Golf Benslimane: the golf course has 27 holes and is set among old cork oaks, firs and eucalyptus trees. The trees are a distinctive feature of its described setting; the golf course thus combines a specific sporting activity with a special landscape. If your family has different interests, you can use these examples to decide in advance which themes matter when choosing a holiday destination.
