From Monaco to the Maldives, from Bali to Borneo to Bahrain, if five stars is your minimum, you'll find them all on X8! Welcome back to X8; thanks so much for joining us and for subscribing! #LuxuryTravel #Morocco #WhereToStay This week, we step inside the mystical and enchanting Marrakech, Morocco to La Sultana, a truly one-of-a-kind property that blends history, culture, and luxury like no other. Today we have Lucy joining us to share why La Sultana is not just a hotel, but an immersive experience that transports guests through time and tradition. Marrakech captivates travelers with its timeless charm and magical energy. Built on the historic UNESCO-listed Medina, Lucy describes how La Sultana maintains this magical quality with its traditional riyad design- a Moroccan home style featuring open-air courtyards, lush patios, and intricate fountains to maintain a cool, serene atmosphere. La Sultana features a collection of five distinct courtyards, seamlessly weaved together to display centuries of Moroccan craftsmanship. At La Sultana, guests can experience the authentic sights, sounds, and scents of Marrakech by exploring the markets, listening to the call to prayer from the nearby Mosque, or taking in the panoramic views from the rooftop. La Sultana is like a hidden secret, where the very best of Marrakech is right outside your door! La Sultana features an exquisite spa crafted entirely from pink marble, where guests can indulge in Moroccan rituals like Hammam and traditional massages. Guests can also experience the culinary traditions of Marakech at one of La Sultana’s three exceptional dining experiences. La Table de Souk features a rooftop lunch spot with stunning views of the Medina, serving vibrant Moroccan flavors. La Table de la Sultana is a refined dinner experience offering fine dining. Finally, guests can unwind after a long day of Marrakech magic with cocktails and small plates, soaking in the city’s ambiance from the Odette Rooftop Bar and Mezzé. Guests can also participate in hands-on cooking classes, learning to prepare traditional dishes such as tagine, fresh-baked bread, and Moroccan pastries. For those travelers that like to shop, Marrakech offers everything from hand woven carpets and traditional ceramics to designer fashion and artisanal lamps from the Souk. Lucy recommends hiring a local guide to help navigate the local art of negotiation. For the adrenaline seekers, Marrakech offers sidecar tours though the Medina, ballooning over the Atlas Mountains, mountain biking through the rugged countryside or excursions to visit Berber tribes for a deeper cultural experience. For those guests looking to extend their Moroccan escape, La Sultana offers a sister property called the Oualidia, a serene retreat on the Atlantic with just 12 bedrooms and private beachside dining, surfing, paddleboarding, and immersive cooking experiences. La Sultana is known for catering to every kind of travel group- couples, multi-generational families, or those celebrating something special. La Sultana welcomes anyone in search of history, beauty, and a touch of Moroccan magic. Thank you for joining us!
