Hilltop fort becomes stunning, tranquil hotel

This gorgeous and unique hotel was, until a few years ago, a hilltop fort in beautiful countryside some 20 minutes drive from Marrakech. The setting is stunning with panoramic views over olive groves, desert hills and the Atlas Mountains, which are snow capped in winter.

After very considerable refurbishment it is now a delightful and very elegant refuge, tranquil and restful. The style throughout is tasteful and restrained, but distinctly Moroccan.

Moroccan rooms, romantic suites and excellent service

Within its massive ramparts there are 16 air-conditioned guest rooms and junior suites, each one individual in style with Moroccan artifacts and antiques, they have a fully equipped bathroom (bath or shower) but no TV or mini-bar.  There is also a very spacious suite within the hotel with a sitting area and views over the olive groves to the Atlas Mountains.

The four Caïdal Suites bring an extra touch of glamour and romance! These are large tented suites in the grounds with a four poster bed, a sitting area, bathroom, air-conditioning and heating. The deluxe versions are quite a lot bigger.

Cookery lessons from the chef add a unique aspect to your holiday

The inner guest is well catered for at Kasbah Agafay with a choice to dine inside or outside on the terrace. The Gala dinner on 31 Dec included in our prices. Kasbah Agafay grow their own organic herbs and vegetables in their beautiful gardens, why not get one of the chefs to give you a cookery lesson? The cookery school is in the herb garden.

The Spa is a delight to the eye and a haven of pampering. Aromatherapy massages, reflexology and much more to reawaken all five senses. There is also a Hammam and an open air yoga space.

Energy to burn after all that relaxation in the Spa?

Try a few lengths in the outdoor heatable pool or a game of tennis. Hiking, riding, mountain biking, golf, there is such a lot the hotel will arrange locally for you.
