You can choose to step out and explore the energetic streets, take a swim in the tranquil pool, or seek quiet moments of contemplation in the gardens.

Slip into something chic for dinner and venture down to the restaurant. Sit on the shaded patio and enjoy an al fresco evening savoring a fusion of Mediterranean flavors and traditional Moroccan cuisine. Each dish is elevated with a modern twist, from the candied lamb shoulder to the roasted prawns with velvety eggplant caviar.
