Accolade follows the venue’s 4th win as ‘Morocco’s Best Golf Hotel’
[Ifrane, Morocco – Michlifen Resort & Golf is proud to announce that it has been named Africa’s Best Golf Hotel at the prestigious World Golf Awards. This remarkable achievement follows the resort’s previous recognition as Morocco’s Best Golf Hotel for the fourth consecutive year in 2023, further cementing its position as one of the premier golf destinations on the continent.
The award, which highlights excellence in golf tourism and hospitality, saw Michlifen triumph over a competitive field of world-class golf resorts across Africa. Notably, the venue claimed the award over some of golf’s most well-known destinations in South Africa, showcasing a shift in the mentality of golf travellers towards the north of the continent, and the outstanding offering on show at the Moroccan venue.
This accolade takes into account all aspects of the hotel and golf experience, from check-in, and the first tee, to check-out. The team at Michlifen have continually strived for five-star consistency across the resort and the recognition that comes with this award solidifies that the team’s attention to detail resonates with its guests. Working alongside IMG Golf Course Services, Michlifen Resort & Golf offers some of the finest playing surfaces on the planet, with a spectacular backdrop throughout the routing. The IMG team have helped to provide increased press visibility over recent years, as well as supporting with the venue’s international Pro-Am in September each year, boosting the overall awareness of Michlifen.
Known as ‘Little Switzerland’ due to its European-style architecture and alpine atmosphere, the resort provides stunning views, modern facilities, and a mild winter climate; ideal for playing golf throughout the year. 2024 has seen extremely favourable conditions, particularly throughout the latter months of the year, with temperatures through November and early December continuing to remain between 15°c – 25°c, with several days in mid-November reaching 29°c – ideal for extending the golfing season.
“We are absolutely delighted to have won Africa’s Best Golf Hotel at the World Golf Awards 2024. This achievement is a direct reflection of the dedication and hard work of our entire team at Michlifen,” said Abdelaziz Oumeziti of Michlifen Golf & Resort. “Our goal has always been to offer a world-class experience for every guest, and we are incredibly proud that our efforts have been recognised on an international stage.”
Laid out amongst the picturesque Atlas Mountains, Michlifen Resort & Golf offers a stunning 18-hole championship golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The destination is easily accessed by Fès–Saïs Airport and has grown into one of Morocco’s most-visited golfing venues, thanks to its truly unique offering. This prestigious recognition at the World Golf Awards serves as a testament to Michlifen’s continued growth and success in the global golf tourism industry, underscoring its position as a leader in African golf resorts.
