Review

Synthesized from Forbes Travel Guide

Forbes ★★★★☆ 4-Star

Character and identity

Set within a 440-acre forest that was once part of a royal estate, this 2024-debuted Ritz-Carlton sits a short drive from central Rabat but feels entirely removed from it. The architecture leans hard into Arab-Andalusian craft: zellij mosaics, hand-carved cedar ceilings, muqarnas detailing and arched colonnades lit by lanterns. Rooms and suites face either the gardens or the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, host of Morocco's most prestigious tournament. Le Spa works from the hammam tradition with rose-water steam chambers and amber-honey scrubs, while the art deco Blind Tiger handles nightcaps and The Lobby Lounge pours mint tea.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers who want Moroccan craftsmanship at full volume without the medina noise, plus golfers chasing a round on a championship course. The forest setting, hammam-led spa and palatial public rooms suit slow, restorative stays rather than city-sightseeing sprints.

Should look elsewhere:
Anyone wanting to walk out of the lobby into Rabat's streets, souks or restaurant scene will find the seclusion frustrating, since you'll need a car for everything beyond the property. Buzzy urban energy and contemporary minimalism are not what's on offer.

Bottom line

The pull here is the setting and the craft: a former royal forest, palace-grade interiors and a hammam spa that genuinely commits to the ritual. Book it if you want immersion in Moroccan heritage with golf and quiet, not a base for exploring Rabat on foot. A garden-view room is the entry point; spring and autumn play best for the course and the grounds.
