After a meandering drive down Morocco's west coast, La Sultana stands like a sand castle on the edge of a private slice of Oualidia's golden shoreline. Surrounded by a garden of olive, jacaranda, orange and palm trees, the hotel is the perfect antidote to fast-paced life, whether you find your peace in the sunlit spa or dining on ocean-fresh oysters at the jetty restaurant. Embrace the serenity of Oualidia on scenic bicycle rides, wanders down the beach and dips in the blissfully calm lagoon - and your personal host is always on hand to make sure every detail is taken care of.




With a combination of aged stone and tadelakt walls, painted wooden doors and vintage furnishings, the rooms at La Sultana are dripping with charm. Soft blue tones are present throughout, complimented by artwork featuring pretty ocean scenes. The rooms range in size, although the largest is the penthouse Ocean Suite, and each has a sitting area and fireplace, marble-clad bathroom and private terrace with a saltwater hot tub. Dreamy or what? All rooms are soundproof and have aircon as well as complimentary wi-fi.
La Sultana is wonderfully eco-minded with water recycling systems and a commitment to local, sustainable ingredients in all their (delicious) dishes.
For honeymooners, or anyone looking for something extra special, the treehouse suite is secluded and romantic with spectacular views of the lagoon.
While all the rooms have a sea view, the rule to follow is: the higher you go, the more beautiful the vistas.
