Full accommodation information

Nestled amidst an enchanting nature reserve, La Sultana Oualidia is an eco-conscious, luxury retreat set along a pristine lagoon on Morocco's Atlantic coast.

With a sister hotel in Marrakesh, the La Sultana brand is renowned for its exceptional attention to detail, and this coastal addition to the portfolio makes for the perfect stay after experiencing the hustle and bustle of the city. By contrast, La Sultana Oualidia offers an intimate and immersive escape into the natural beauty and rich culture of the region.

Stay in one of just 12 exclusive rooms and suites, each featuring an extensive private terrace with seawater Jacuzzi overlooking the nature reserve. You’ll also enjoy private butler service throughout your stay, which you can arrange using a dedicated mobile phone.

Spend days exploring the lagoon by kayak, spotting exotic bird life, and enjoying a myriad of watersports, from stand-up paddleboarding to surfing. For those seeking relaxation, La Sultana’s spa offers rejuvenating treatments inspired by Moroccan traditions, featuring outdoor hammams and natural, locally sourced ingredients.

Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience at La Sultana Oualidia, with fresh seafood and organic produce harvested from the reserve. Foodies should also take note that Oualidia is known as the ‘oyster capital’ of Morocco, so trying these delicacies is an essential part of your stay here.

Or if you prefer land-based activities, set off on a horse-riding adventure, taking you along the region’s scenic trails, either towards the charming beach of 'Les Tomates' or further along the lagoon to admire more of Morrocco’s Atlantic coastline.

Each Saturday, the weekly souk comes alive with locals, some traveling from 50km away by donkey or carriage. Spend an afternoon immersing yourself in authentic Moroccan life with its colourful array of seasonal produce, spices, olives, pottery and more. History buffs can also explore the UNESCO-listed Portuguese City of Mazagan (El Jadida), with its striking fortifications and Gothic architecture.

Round off your stay with cycling, stand-up paddleboarding, Moroccan cooking classes, or a gourmet excursion to an oyster farm, followed by drinks and appetisers at the picturesque O Bar.

La Sultana Oualidia’s Conservation and Sustainability program is founded on several core environmental and cultural principles.

The resort strives to minimise waste and make the most of natural resources. This is particularly evident in its sourcing of local ingredients for its restaurants, which mainly come from the land and sea surrounding the property. Waste is managed through limiting single use items, like plastic straws, and recycling is practiced as much as possible. Food waste is supplied to a local farm in exchange for natural fertilizer and the resort is proudly 100% sustainable in its use of water.

La Sultana Oualidia’s conservation efforts are also aimed at preserving Moroccan heritage and supporting the local community. The building itself is made from local stone and is designed blend in with its natural surroundings. As a company, La Sultana also regularly donates to the national charity, Les Enfants de Dar Bouidar, which provides financial support for abandoned, orphaned or disabled children in Morocco.
