Luxury Kosher Holidays & Hospitality
Passover 2027 · Program One
A Private Luxury Passover Experience · 20 April – 2 May 2027
“Your villa. Your pool. Your pace. Our hospitality.”
Morocco, Reimagined
Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay is a five-star, all-pool-villa resort on the Mediterranean coast of northern Morocco — 97 private villas, a private beach, a Kids’ Club, fitness and yoga, tennis and padel, and the Banyan Tree Spa with its Moroccan hammam.
Sarah Tours takes the experience end to end: a warm Jewish environment, a full Passover program, and a culinary concept built to feel like a collection of elegant restaurants — all within one of the region’s most refined resorts. The largest family villas offer substantial private space and pools, making the property especially suited to multi-generational groups.

When Passover ends, the resort becomes a Moroccan celebration.
Fresh msemen and baghrir, sfenj, Moroccan pastries and sweets, fresh breads and pancakes, mint tea — with Moroccan music and dancing, caftan and henna experiences, a Moroccan folklore show and live entertainment.
The Mimouna is intentionally the first moment these traditional post-Passover specialties are served. Throughout Passover itself, the program remains strictly no-kitniyot.
Accommodation
Full package: 12 nights, 20 April – 2 May 2027, full board throughout. The pre-arrival nights before Passover and the Shabbat that follows it are both included in the programme.
Villa Types
Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay is an all-villa resort. Six categories run from a 203 m² one-bedroom pool villa to a 421 m² two-bedroom beachfront villa — every one with its own private pool.
Photographs are supplied by the hotel and are indicative only — the villa you receive may differ in layout, finish or outlook. Categories are subject to availability and are confirmed with Sarah Tours at the time of booking.
Package includes full board, welcome lunch, teas & cakes, wine & soft drinks at meals. Excludes flights, transfers, excursions, tourist taxes and gratuities.

Who It Suits
The difference between Banyan Tree Tamouda Bay and a conventional Passover hotel is structural rather than cosmetic. There is no main block of rooms. The resort is built as 97 private villas, each with its own pool and its own walled garden, which changes how a family actually experiences the eight days.
It suits three kinds of guest in particular. Families with young children, because the pool is yours and nap times do not have to be negotiated around a crowded terrace. Multi-generational groups, because a two-bedroom villa keeps grandparents and grandchildren under one roof without anyone sharing a bathroom. And families who want more privacy at the table. All meals are served in the resort restaurants, and private Sedarim can be booked with the Sarah Tours team.
It suits one kind of guest less well. If the appeal of a Passover programme for you is the crowd, the noise and the sense of a full hall at every meal, a villa resort will feel quiet, and our Marina Smir programme may suit you better. That is worth knowing before you book rather than after.
A Day On The Programme
Mornings begin with minyan, followed by the Sarah Breakfast Market — Israeli, Moroccan, American, Mediterranean and French, with a large selection of French cheeses. Shiurim run through the late morning for those who want them.
Afternoons are deliberately unprogrammed on most days. The beach, the pools, the hammam and the tennis and padel courts are all on the estate, and the Kids Club takes younger children so parents get a genuine break. On Chol Hamoed the optional excursions run — Chefchaouen and Tétouan for the medinas, Tangier for the port, Fes for the Jewish quarter, and a Gibraltar day for guests whose passports allow it.
Evenings return to the dining rooms for a full Glatt Kosher Lamehadrin service, with live music through Chol Hamoed and the Grand Mimouna at the close of the festival. Nothing on the programme is compulsory. The kitchen, the minyan and the childcare run whether you attend or not.
