“A fabulous 18th century boutique riad in a perfect location - minutes from the beach and the golf course. Sand stone columns, sculpted woods, and beautiful fabrics blend oriental tradition and western luxury. A lovely roof terrace has stunning coastal views. A luxurious treat. ”

Hotel review

This breathtaking little Riad had recently been renovated, colonial-chic. Every aspect of your stay has been well thought out, impeccable service from smiley staff, breakfast in the sun on the roof terrace looking out over the old city battlement, to the bay and stunning coastline, and cosy quiet rooms. Villa de l'O is excellently located for the beach, main square and souks.
