An urban retreat set overlooking the point where the Bouregreg meets the Atlantic, the Fairmont La Marina Rabat-Salé does elegance on a grand scale. Reminiscent of a cruise ship anchored in the estuary, it perfectly blends contemporary design with authentic local craftsmanship and timeless tradition, reverent to both modern Moroccan life and the influences of the past. Close to the heart of Rabat and with easy access to and from the airport, from the hotel you can both spy the city’s landmarks, and reach them within minutes to explore.
The accommodation is split between rooms, suites and residences. With traditional Moroccan flourishes, all standards offer a stylish, well-appointed and peaceful haven where you can unwind in comfort. The luxurious Residences, one-, two- and three-bedroom, are an excellent choice for families or those looking for a home away from home.
The Fairmont La Marina Rabat-Salé’s spa is a temple of wellbeing, with a range of sensational treatments rooted in rituals of the past. The fitness centre offers plenty of ways to exercise both your body and soul, from state-of-the-art gym equipment to yoga and guided meditation sessions.
For those looking to exercise their taste buds, the hotel will not disappoint, with three fabulous restaurants and a riad-esque lobby tearoom. L'écume brings a ‘farm and ocean to table’ ethos, Dahlia offers authentic Moroccan cuisine and Le Deck serves up creative drinks and bites around a heated pool with 360 degree panoramas – a must visit at sunset.
Why we like it
- The spa offers a multisensory experience – you’ll even find the same botanicals running through the treatments and the drinks and pastries served before or after your session
- L'écume showcases organic, local produce at a high, and delicious level
- It is excellently located close to Rabat’s airport for both international and domestic flights
- Our top tip: staying in the magnificent three-bedroom residence gives you access to a large private terrace. This sun-trap of a spot is perfect for enjoying a pe-dinner cocktail with family or friends
