Who would love the Ksar Massa?
This Luxury Boutique Spa Hotel in Morocco hidden away in the Sousse Massa National Park, on the Atlantic
coast of Morocco could be the very place for the stressed executive to unwind.
Why?
Here there is no reception for mobile phones, so throw your blackberry away, and enjoy a real escape from the
blinking light that summonses you all year!! Such a place is the Ksar Massa
How do You reach the Ksar Massa
It is a mere forty five minute drive from Agadir, although you would do well to consider a taxi, and not a
car, because the track leading to the hotel is deeply rutted, and a 4x4 will definitely be required especially in
the wetter winter months.
Arrival at this particular Morocco Boutique Hotel is something you won’t forget in a hurry, as the track to Ksar
Massa runs for several miles past children, goats, donkeys, and then suddenly you loop down a steep hillside, and
you arrive at the terracotta low building right on the water’s edge that is the hotel.
The Ksar Massa Environment
Entering Ksar Massa is an experience in itself, with the big walls, and the heavy carved door does not prepare
you for the greenery of the sheltered sub tropical garden that greets you within the walls. The design is very
traditional low crenellated rooftops on three sides open to the sea with a central pool. The colours are all
very bright Moroccan, dark plum, gold, blue, green, and aubergine, which fits exactly in with the design
Accommodation at the Ksar Massa
This is a classical boutique hotel with only 16 rooms which are to be found in the three wings of the Ksar
Massa, and each has its own terrace, where you can sit for hours on end with a good book, looking out to sea. The
bedroom is almost a suite with an annexe which would be perfect for children, or just lounging on a day bed.
You will find silk rugs, stripy bedspreads, and Berber rugs and cushions. You will have ornate carved mirrors,
patterned ceramic inlays in a screed floor, which looks absolutely fantastic. The bathrooms come with embroidered
towels, face flannels, and dressing gowns, with loads of toiletries. In the room itself there are hairdryers,
really crisp bed linen, CD Players.
The rooms have a really romantic middle eastern feel to them, and the sea views are a real bonus, although it is
fair to say the small windows and dark colours can make the rooms feel gloomy, but certainly have been designed to
be cool in the hot summers.

Dining at the Ksar Massa
Food is a major feature of the Ksar Massa, and the main dining room has a truly romantic feel to it, as well as
an unforgettable ocean view. Dinners are a set menu, prefaced by a cocktail in the bar or on the terrace. Lunches
and breakfasts are served under a thatched gazebo on the terrace facing the sea.
Lunch is much more a buffet style pick and mix. All the meals are very much Moroccan in style with fish
definitely a feature, and mini sweet tagines stuffed with figs, apricots, honey, all appear at breakfast.
Who should go to the Ksar Massa?
Ksar Massa is ideal for a honeymoon, and is the perfect Morocco Hotel for anyone looking for a really peaceful
holiday.
The pool and the empty Moroccan beach make it an ideal place for children, but boredom could set in after a few
days. Avoid July and August when the local campsite gets the use of the facilities. You should take binoculars and
also the opportunity to see some of the amazing wildlife in Sousse Massa National Park.
Conclusion
This is a very nice luxury boutique hotel complete with lovely hamman, and is the ideal escape from reality
Morocco Vacation spot, if only for a few days.
