 Welcome to Four Seasons Hotel Rabat Perched on Morocco's Atlantic coast, where the sea air permeates every corner of the property, Four Seasons Hotel Rabat at Kasr Al Bahr emerges like a revived dream. With a name meaning "Castle of the Sea," this shimmering palace was once the 18th-century summer residence of Sultan Moulay Slimane, and has been reimagined into a tranquil clifftop retreat.

  Room is palatial poetry Your private sanctuary at Kasr Al Bahr glitters with understated opulence. As you open the ornate wooden door, sunlight streams through stained glass windows, casting kaleidoscopic patterns across handmade Berber carpets. The custom zellige tilework beneath your feet tells a story centuries in the making, while brass and copper lanterns illuminate your evenings with their warm glow.     Dining is Moroccan magnificence Each meal at Kasr Al Bahr unfolds as its own sensory performance, orchestrated by Executive Chef Sebastiano Spriveri, whose Mediterranean and Middle Eastern expertise has been refined over nearly three decades before finding its perfect expression in Morocco.   Wellness is ancestral indulgence Opening later in 2025, The Spa at Four Seasons Rabat promises to be an elegant sanctuary amid palace gardens—a wellness retreat fit for royalty. At its heart, a stunning indoor pool surrounded by soaring columns is illuminated by natural light from a skylight, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. The cornerstone of this anticipated wellness haven will be its Moroccan hammam, where time-honored rituals meet contemporary decadence. Ten treatment rooms offer wellness rituals and healing therapies, many enhanced with argan oil and inspired by centuries of Moroccan traditions. For active wellness, the 24/7 fitness center offers workouts with ocean views, while the outdoor yoga studio provides a space for mindful movement. The on-site beauty salon and barber shop ensure you look polished to explore Rabat's vibrant culture.   Sustainability is for Good As part of Four Seasons for Good initiatives, the property balances comfort with practices that honor Morocco's natural resources. The hotel sources renewable, carbon-free energy, while energy-efficient systems minimize your stay's environmental footprint. In the kitchen gardens, sustainable, chemical-free biodynamic practices create a flourishing ecosystem where flora and fauna thrive in harmony.  Secrets & Surprises Before departing, make time to visit the hotel's boutique, where Morocco's most talented contemporary designers showcase their craft through haute couture garments and bespoke jewelry.
