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.
