Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr

Perched on the edge of the Atlantic, where Rabat’s ocean breezes carry whispers of its imperial past, Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr feels like stepping into a living piece of Moroccan history. Once a royal palace (“Kasar Al Bahr” means “castle of the sea”), this October 2024-opened clifftop retreat melds centuries-old grandeur with the refined elegance of modern luxury. As you walk through its arched courtyards, past intricate tilework and lush greenery, you’re enveloped in a sense of serenity. The rooms, many with sweeping sea views, are a study in understated opulence with their plush Berber rugs, carved wooden accents and soft, sunlit hues. Dining is an experience unto itself, from refined Moroccan feasts beneath lantern-lit ceilings to Mediterranean-inspired seafood with the waves as your backdrop. The spa, infused with local rituals and argan oil-enhanced treatments, is the perfect place to melt away the world outside.
