A discreet address, favored by prominent figures from around the world

Over the decades, Le Mirage Tanger has welcomed a constellation of personalities from around the world, drawn by its absolute discretion, unique atmosphere, and the power of its setting.
More than a hotel, it has become a chosen refuge—a place shared in whispers, and one that some consider a true second home.

Fortunately, the view
from here is not a mirage.

Paul Bowles

Le Mirage is the dream of a lost paradise — and yet, here it exists. In Tangier, gateway to Africa, magic is in constant motion.
The former restaurant at the Caves of Hercules has become an Eden Roc, just as the sea has become the Ocean, just as the sun turns orange, red, and violet.
Here, I delight in finding my friends again, neither quite the same nor entirely different. They live an infinity of lives, and when I am alone in my bungalow, I reflect and let myself be carried by the waves toward the immense sandy beach. If inspiration is born from the dreams we carry within us, there is no doubt that this Mirage was made to welcome them.
Thank you to Ahmed and Abdeslam Chakkour, who have become my friends.

If Le Mirage were a story, it would be told by a wise man who came to rest from his labours and forget the burdens of mankind. If Le Mirage were a painting, it would be a rich and shifting light, slow and soothing. If Le Mirage were a dream, it would be the dream we long for — a clear and tranquil space where blue and green meet in silence. At Le Mirage, I have rested, I have written, I have dreamed, and I have loved. And we owe this as well to Ahmed and Abdeslam, our friends, our brothers.

Jacques Chirac – Former President of the French Republic

For Le Mirage and all its staff, an example of kindness and great professionalism. In Tangier, a city of mystery and beauty. In Morocco, a brotherly country, of men and women full of goodwill.

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero – Former Prime Minister of Spain

Political figures and international leaders have naturally found a haven of serenity at Le Mirage. Among them are former Spanish Prime Minister Felipe González, as well as José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, alongside prominent French presidents and politicians such as Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy, François Hollande, Alain Juppé, and Dominique de Villepin.

Prominent figures in international diplomacy have also marked the history of the place, notably three Secretaries-General of the United Nations:
Javier Pérez de Cuéllar, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and Kofi Annan.
Le Mirage Tanger has also welcomed Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner.

Royal families and European sovereigns have also been captivated by the magic of the place, including the Belgian royal family with King Philippe of Belgium, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg—further reinforcing the exclusive and discreet character of this address.

The world of cinema and the arts has found an inspiring refuge here: Mireille Darc, Catherine Deneuve, Alain Delon, Gérard Depardieu, as well as international figures such as Francis Ford Coppola, Pedro Almodóvar, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, and the singer Sting.
Iconic personalities such as Ariel Dombasle, Naomi Campbell, and Jamel Debbouze have also spent time here.

Renowned writers, intellectuals, and free spirits have left their mark in this timeless setting: Tahar Ben Jelloun, Paul Bowles, Margaret Beckett, Stéphane Bern, Jean-Pierre Elkabbach accompanied by Nicole Avril, as well as Bernard-Henri Lévy. Not to mention Jean Daniel, a large part of whose book Le Soleil d’hiver was written at Le Mirage.

Icons from the worlds of luxury, fashion, and business such as Jean-Louis Scherrer, Yves Saint Laurent, Adolfo De Velasco, Smalto, Patrick Guerrand Hermès, Eric de Rothschild, and Alber Elbaz have contributed to shaping the elegant and cosmopolitan aura of Le Mirage Tanger. Finally, leading figures from the world of sports and the contemporary international scene—Johan Cruyff, Lionel Messi, and Gianni Infantino—embody a new generation of regular guests, faithful to the spirit of the place.
