Style & Character

Rooms
Inspired by Berber and Moorish influences, the 54 luxurious villas and nine spacious suites make this hotel almost boutique in size and certainly exclusive.

Le Salon Berbère boasts stunning views over the resort’s blue and green pools and the Atlas Mountains, serving traditional Moroccan and international breakfast, drinks, and light bites throughout the day.
Conclusion
Bathe to the calls for prayer from the minarets and the scent of jasmine and night-blooming cestrumand. This city will enchant you if you let it, and the Mandarin Oriental is the perfect escape. A peaceful and serene paradise under the warmth of the Moroccan sun.
