Luxury in a very simple setting on the lagoon of Oualidia.
ABOUT: Luxury doesn’t come much simpler. Situated yards from a seven-mile-long, Atlantic Ocean-fed lagoon, La Sultana Oualidia is a boutique hotel in splendid, ivory-tower isolation, and easily the area’s most sophisticated residence. The remote, seaside setting and architectural style mean it’s perfect for those seeking a genuine luxury bolthole, while fans of watersports, seafood and spas will also be in luck.
ROOMS: Elegantly styled using lots of local materials - tadelakt plaster walls, zellig tiles, wooden flooring – the 11 rooms and suites scream (or whisper, rather) serenity. They come with plasma-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and marble bathrooms, but the headline acts are outside: each has its own terrace and sea-water Jacuzzi. There are treehouse and ‘apartment’ suites, should you wish to splurge.
FACILITIES: Located near one of Morocco’s best oyster beds, La Sultana specialises in cooking salty stuff. Eat it in an unusual sunken dining room, facing the lagoon, or privately on a waterside deck. A stroll past palm trees and bougainvillea in the hotel’s terraced gardens is blissful; a splash in the 40m-long infinity pool equally so. And the spa’s indoor heated pool and massage rooms await.
EXTRA INFO: La Sultana also has its own private beach, next to another pool. Take a flamingo-spotting boat trip on the lagoon, or arrange a fishing, walking or surfing lessons.
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.

We enjoyed the drive to Oulidia and were blown away by 'La Sultana'. Fabulous position, staff could not do enough, room was splendid, particularly enjoyed the log fire in the evening.
