Ocean Villas

Ocean Villas is a residential development under construction in El Jadida, Morocco, on Avenue des Nations Unies, facing the Atlantic Ocean. The project comprises 107 villas described as prestige homes within a gated and secured community, with an 8,000 m² shopping centre and nine commercial units, a private school from kindergarten to high school, and a high-standard hotel on the premises. These descriptive elements come from the project record and the developer's website (oceanvillas.ma); they are not an offer and do not constitute a contractual commitment.

What the development includes

The record describes an integrated scheme: housing, retail, a school and a hotel within the same perimeter.

• 107 villas in a gated and secured community, according to the information available.
• 24/7 security and controlled access to the residence.
• 8,000 m² shopping centre with 9 commercial units, according to the information available.
• Private school from kindergarten through high school.
• High-standard hotel presented as part of the scheme.
• Finishes described as refined, with bright spaces and sea views for each villa.

The current status is "under construction". No delivery schedule appears in the record's fields, and the developer's open pages do not state a handover date. It must be requested in writing from the developer (see below).

Where Ocean Villas is located

The project is stated to be on Avenue des Nations Unies in El Jadida, opposite the Atlantic Ocean. The legal notice on oceanvillas.ma gives a different postal address: Route nationale n°1, next to the El Jadida racecourse. Both point to the same part of the city, around the racecourse and the seafront, but the record alone does not establish that the administrative address and the site entrance are identical. For an appointment or a site visit, the exact address should be confirmed with the developer.

Landmarks named in the record include the El Jadida racecourse, Avenue des Nations Unies, the Atlantic Ocean and the fortified city of El Jadida. The Portuguese city of Mazagan in El Jadida is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as documented by the organisation itself. Distances in minutes or kilometres between Ocean Villas and these landmarks are not published.

Who is behind the project

The record names the developer as "Ocean Villas El Jadida". The legal notice on oceanvillas.ma names "Ocean Villas" as the party responsible for the website, with an address at Route nationale n°1, next to the racecourse, El Jadida, a phone number at +212 (0)6 61 930 634 and an email address at the holmarcom.ma domain. These details give a contact for commercial or documentary requests, but they do not replace a check of the company's registration and of the land title by a qualified professional, a notary first of all.

The record does not publish the names of architects or building contractors, nor any urban planning permit references. Those details are absent from the supplied fields and are not exposed on the developer's open pages; they should be requested in writing from the developer, together with the technical file.

What is not published, and who to ask

A new-build scheme is assessed on documents, not on a brochure. Several facts needed for a decision appear neither in the record nor on the developer's pages consulted:

• Villa prices: not published in the record. Request a written price list from the developer, showing surfaces and included specifications.
• Plot and villa surfaces: not published. Request them from the developer, along with the site plan and sales plans.
• Delivery date and construction schedule: not published. Request them from the developer, with the commitment deed and any guarantees.
• Payment and financing arrangements: not published. Request them from the developer, then verify with the bank involved in the arrangement.
• Legal status of the land and nature of the title: not published. Verify with the notary handling the sale, through the competent land registry.
• Owners' association charges and residence rules: not published. Request them from the developer, or from the appointed manager once the residence is set up.

The rule is straightforward: what is not written in a signed document is not secured. Verbal commercial statements are not commitments.

What the record does not say

The record does not characterise the neighbourhood beyond the geographical elements listed, gives no outlook on rental income, and makes no comparison with other El Jadida schemes. It also gives no information on actual villa availability at the time of reading: the figure of 107 is the announced programme, not necessarily the remaining available stock. That information should be requested from the developer, updated to the date of the request.

The project is in Morocco, outside the UEMOA zone. Off-plan sale rules, developer obligations and applicable taxation fall under Moroccan law, not under the rules in force in Togo, Benin, Côte d'Ivoire or Senegal. A non-resident buyer should be advised by a Moroccan notary and should check the conditions for transferring funds from their country of residence.

How to enquire efficiently

Three documents frame a first review: the price list with surfaces, the residence site plan, and the land title. Ask for all three at once, in writing, stating that you want to review them before travelling. If the developer does not provide them, the information is missing and should be recorded as such.

The oceanvillas.ma website collects personal data through contact forms. Its legal notice states that a right of access and rectification may be exercised at the contact address given, with reference to Moroccan law n° 09-08 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data. The CNDP, Morocco's data protection authority, sets out that legal framework on its website. A prospective buyer can therefore ask for their contact details to be deleted after a commercial exchange.
