Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Morocco

Vacations in Morocco 

 This corner of north Africa is distinguished by its medley of different cultural influences –born of its Berber, Arabian and European heritage stretching back more than a millennium and its position on both the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. As something of a stepping stone between Africa and Europe, it boasts a heady mix of identities today, with Arabic, Berber, French and Spanish languages and cuisine among the most obvious. 

 It's no surprise that our luxury hotels in Morocco bring to life this mélange of cultural and architectural influences. Discover Spanish-Berber estates with lush, cooling gardens; traditional riads arranged around shady courtyards with trickling fountains; palatial, colonnaded pavilions with reflective pools; even fine examples of Art Deco design heritage. All beautifully evocative and transporting–each offering a different immersion in Moroccan culture. 

 And the locations of our hotels in Morocco read like a roll call of romanticism–names that conjure up a sense of history, adventure and excitement: Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez and Agadir, as well as countryside retreats further afield. All framed either by the Atlas Mountains to one side, the coast to the other, or with views over vineyards and lavender fields. Our luxury hotel suites in Morocco represent an authentic invitation back in time as well as offering sophisticated, contemporary style and service.  

Fine dining restaurants in Morocco: a delightful cultural and culinary clash 

 North African, sub-Saharan, European and eastern ingredients, flavors and dishes all typically influence inventive cuisine in our fine dining restaurants in Morocco. Add to that the backgrounds, experiences and influences of our own talented chefs, who add in more of their own innovations. Home-grown produce from the land meets the abundance of the ocean; French, Portuguese or Spanish culinary styles collide with traditional Moroccan tastes. The result is a delicious harmony that reflects the country’s unique terroir–and its role as a melting pot of people.  

 Experience gastronomic restaurants in Morocco in a full spectrum of locales–from traditional dining rooms decorated in riotous colors and patterns, to grand colonial-style parlors, intimate spaces where open fires keep couples warm on cold nights and others with a more contemporary interpretation of Moroccan design. Alternatively, enjoy local delicacies and sip Moroccan tea in the shady alcoves of your riad, with your feet dangling in the water. 

Get happily lost in the medinas: our best hotels in Morocco  

 Tour Morocco’s maze-like medieval medinas, find yourself a bargain in the souks and shops, or just watch the world go by from a cafe–seven Moroccan medinas are designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Essaouira, Fez and Marrakech. Our luxury hotels in Morocco can also arrange guided tours of Casablanca’s Art Deco district.  

 Accompany our chefs and other staff on visits to food markets, participate in a cooking workshop (including for children) or take a traditional calligraphy class. Visit the museum and grounds of Yves Saint Laurent’s beautiful and iconic Le Jardin Majorelle.  

Holidays in Morocco – home of the hammam 

 Outside the cities, enjoy food and wine tastings in vineyards, head to the Souss Massa National Park’s forests, wetlands and sand dunes, home to 100 species of bird alone. Discover the oasis of Tiout, home to a 16^th century citadel that rises up out of the desert, take a tour of a traditional Berber village of rammed-earth houses, or view the country from above on a hot-air balloon trip. 

 Kick back in our luxury hotels in Morocco, enjoying rooftop views, cool courtyards or take a leisurely stroll through their own gardens – some extending over several acres, with giant palm trees, olive trees, rose gardens and fountains, waterfalls and fish ponds. 

 If you like the idea of that serenity, then don’t forget you’re in a world capital of well-being. Our luxury spa hotels in Morocco invite you to experience the ancient purification rituals of the traditional hammam. Hot steam baths, with eucalyptus or jasmine to prepare the body for black-soap exfoliations, argan oil full body massages on a bed of rose petals, followed by relaxation on warm marble. 

Responsible travel–our Eco Hotels in Morocco 

 Our luxury hotels in Morocco exemplify our harmonious approach to existing sustainably–that’s why we insist on caring for our immediate surroundings, grow much of our own food and use local suppliers and producers for as much as we can. That means Relais & Châteaux in Morocco plays an essential role in how each community continues to thrive. 

 Our hotels in Morocco are all independently owned, so their teams are passionate about making sure all guests feel beautifully hosted–from the warmest of welcomes to the quality of the service and the deliciousness of the food. With each of our properties and fine dining restaurants in Morocco each offering their own unique interpretation of the country’s design, architectural and cultural heritage–and each on a smaller, human scale–we think you’ll notice the difference of our approach to hospitality.
