La Vigie – A Historic Riad to Be Revealed in Tangier’s Kasbah

At the heart of Tangier’s historic Kasbah, this semi-finished Riad occupies an extraordinary position, seamlessly integrated into the city’s ancient defensive walls. Perched above the city and the Strait of Gibraltar, the site was historically associated with military surveillance. Since the 17th century, this strategic location has been known by the evocative name “La Vigie”.

The property represents a particularly rare opportunity to reveal the full potential of a place steeped in history and create a prestigious private residence or a hospitality project with a truly distinctive identity.

The architecture forms part of Tangier’s oldest heritage and retains magnificent arches, generous volumes, and preserved architectural elements reflecting the city’s rich history, particularly during the Portuguese period.

The Riad features two independent entrances, each offering a different experience of the property. The first opens onto an inner street of the Kasbah, while the second leads to a staircase descending towards the sea, creating a privileged connection between the historic medina and the coastline.

With a 200 sqm footprint and approximately 800 sqm of living space arranged over four levels, the property offers exceptional proportions and remarkable freedom of design.

The Riad comprises two spacious reception salons, eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and three kitchens. Its layout allows for several high-end concepts, from a private residence to a boutique hotel or characterful guest house.

The wellness area includes a traditional hammam and sauna. Two panoramic terraces crown the property, offering spectacular 180-degree views over the Strait of Gibraltar. These spaces once served as strategic lookout points for monitoring the sea.
