Our favourite rooms
All rooms have their own private terraces and outdoor Jacuzzis, but we’d suggest securing the top-floor Ocean Suite for its lagoon panoramas. The Treehouse Suite’s setting amid the treetops gives it a novel edge and has its own beachfront entrance, if you’re seeking a little privacy.
Poolside
The outdoor heated infinity pool – open daily from 10am till 6pm – sits on a palm-lined deck that gazes over Oualidia’s lagoon. There’s a second indoor pool at the spa that's open between 9am and 7pm.
Spa
The quiet stone spa replicates a traditional hammam, with grand domed ceilings, marbled columns and dimly lit Moroccan lanterns. In addition to its four treatment rooms – where masseurs employ ancient healing methods and essential oils for meditative massages – you’ll also find a sauna, Jacuzzi and heated pool. The gym is set just beyond the spa, and there are private trainers on call for personalised workouts, as well as a deck for yoga and pilates sessions.
Packing tips
In terms of suitcase space, wetsuits should take priority, and if you’re an avid surfer be sure to bring your favourite wax so boards are gripped and geared.
Pet‐friendly
Small, well-behaved dogs (and cats) are welcome in all rooms, except the Treehouse Suites, for MAD200 a day. See more pet-friendly hotels in Oualidia.
Children
Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or crèche, but staff can arrange babysitting for MAD100 an hour and there’s plenty for little Smiths to explore around the hotel grounds.
Sustainability efforts
An Earth-kind ethos guides La Sultana’s every move – even the hotel itself was built with repurposed, locally sourced materials. Fifty per cent of carbon offsets are allocated to a positive impact fund, that’s used to finance eco-friendly projects and donate to charities that support local communities and protect Morocco’s landscape. Staff dedicate time to cleaning the nearby lagoon and nature reserve to preserve its ecosystem; energy and water conservation are prioritised with irrigation and recycling systems; food is sustainably and responsibly sourced to ensure local farmers and fishermen are supported and food miles are limited – a lot of the vegetables are also grown on the hotel’s grounds in its plant nursery. An onsite bottling unit is in the works, which will supply glass-bottled water, cutting unnecessary transportation and plastic usage.
