The spacious and light-filled rooms have plenty of traditional features, with antique furnishings, stone archways, high ceilings, whitewashed walls decorated with local artworks, and alcoves filled with colourful pots, alongside plush beds and comfortable lounge areas to relax in and enjoy the sea views from.

Food & Drink

Start the day with a traditional Moroccan breakfast of seasonal fruit and homemade bread, honey and yoghurt on the sun-kissed terrace, and enjoy drinks and hearty dinners by the fireplace in the evening, featuring local specialities that showcase freshly caught fish and fresh produce from the markets.
