Reasons To
Visit Morocco

  • Berber Culture

    The Berbers are the indigenous people of Morocco. During the Arab conquest they retreated into their mountain strongholds and took refuge in the inhospitable deserts of the south. This is where their culture persists, based around fortified dwellings; a strong sense of community and an ability to cope with almost any hardship.

  • Desert

    The Sahara washes into Morocco at its western extremities, and the Erg Chebbi sand sea is the best place to see this. Passing first through dramatic ridges of blackened rock, the going becomes sandier and sandier, until you're eventually confronted with towering dunes and the best sunsets in Morocco.

  • Kasbahs

    A kasbah is a fortified village, made from traditional pisé, or mud brick. Their distinctive towers, with ornate windows, are a dominant feature of the Moroccan landscape, none more so than along the Dades and Draa Valleys in the south: some have been converted into hotels, so you can even spend the night in your very own kasbah.

  • Medinas

    At the heart of any old Moroccan city will be the medina, the vital core encircled by walls punctuated by ornamental gates. It's in the medina that you'll nearly always find the souqs, and there will probably be a number of old palaces too: some of these are now hotels, some are museums, while others are abandoned and decaying gracefully.

  • Mountains

    The High Atlas are home to Jebel Toubkal, at over 4,100m the highest mountain in north Africa and a challenging climb. But the Atlas mountains also offer gentler hikes, perfect just to appreciate the scenery, the cool, clean air, and to enjoy Berber hospitality in remote villages.

  • Souqs & Shopping

    The souqs of Marrakesh are the most famous in the country, but almost every town has its souq. Those of Fez seem endless and labyrinthine, whilst those in Taroudant are much more compact and sell the simple goods that the local, rural population need. It's unlikely you'll escape from Morocco without doing a bit of shopping at some point!

Ksar Massa

The Sous Massa National Park

Situated in a stunning coastal location the Ksar Massa is just 25 miles south of Agadir and yet really does feel like a world away from the busy city. The hotel is accessed by off road tracks and is on the edge of the small village of Sidi R'bat, looking out over the long, sandy deserted beach and Atlantic Ocean below.

The low rise rooms are based around the pool and all have a private seating/sunbathing area, most with sea views. The hotel also has a hammam (Moroccan steam bath), beauty treatments and massage room. Breakfast and lunch is taken on one of the many terraces looking out to sea and consists of traditional Moroccan fare. Evening meals can be taken in the Moroccan style restaurant which has an adjoining library and games room.

The perfect place to relax, take long strolls long the beach, swim in the ocean and partake in some excellent Moroccan food. The hotel is also on the edge of the Souss-Massa National Park where a great variety of both sedentary and migratory birds such as flamingo, crane, marbled teal and bald ibis may be spotted in the lagoon.
