Against this background, a new polo resort is to be built. Jnan Amar Polo Resort is the first residential polo project in Morocco, designed to appeal to even the most demanding polo players and polo fans – lured by the setting and year-round polo season.

All villas will also be elevated to enjoy the scenic view towards the Atlas Mountains, and will open out towards the central terraces of the hotel, converging and sloping down towards the polo field.
