Dining

Treat your taste buds to a variety of flavours across three distinct restaurants. You can start your day with a rich international buffet at L'Oliveraie, enjoy a relaxed lunch at the poolside Oasis restaurant, or dive into authentic local culture with tagines and couscous at the elegant Ryad restaurant. Whether you choose Bed and Breakfast, Half Board, or the full All-Inclusive experience, you'll find plenty of fresh, seasonal ingredients to enjoy in the warm Moroccan air.

All-Inclusive:

The All-Inclusive package includes breakfast (07:00–10:30), lunch (12:30–15:00), and dinner (19:30–22:00) at the main buffet restaurant. You can also enjoy a selection of snacks at the pool bar throughout the afternoon. Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served from 10:00 until 23:00 at designated bars. Meal times are indicative and may be subject to change depending on the season.

Pools and Spa

Cool off in one of the two large outdoor swimming pools, including a dedicated pool for those seeking a more relaxed environment. If you're looking for total rejuvenation, the 1,200m² wellness centre is your sanctuary, featuring a traditional hammam, sauna, and hot tub. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including massages, beauty treatments, and thermal circuits, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

The hotel is located inland in the Palmeraie district, approximately 175km from the nearest coastal beach at Essaouira. However, you won't miss the sea while lounging on the free of charge sunbeds and under the umbrellas provided around the hotel's expansive pool decks, designed to feel like a private beach club in the desert.

Sport and Entertainment

Stay active with a game on the tennis courts or a workout in the fitness centre. As the sun goes down, the atmosphere shifts to the poolside bar where you can enjoy live music and traditional Moroccan performances. If you want to explore, take advantage of the hotel's unique shuttle service which whisks you straight to the historic Medina throughout the day.

Family Amenities

Kids will love the dedicated Barcy Club, which offers a daily programme of games and creative workshops. The resort also features a separate children’s paddling pool and a playground, ensuring the little ones have plenty of space to burn off energy while you relax by the pool.
