Best Luxury Hotels in Oriental

This is the second Radisson Blu Resort to arrive in Saida; a 150-bedroom five-star property set beside a golf course and minutes from the beach. Offering an all-inclusive service, it has three eateries with Asian fusion food at Banzu, Spanish dishes and tapas at Sal, and a Moroccan buffet, Mosaico. Catering well for families, Saidia Garden runs several clubs for kids and teens, offers babysitting services and has a large outdoor pool. There’s also a spa, indoor pool and several bars. Each of the guest rooms has Nespresso machines and private terraces.

Boasting a private stretch of beach, Be Live Collection is a five-star all-inclusive resort a short walk from the town centre. Bedrooms here come with balconies, sea views and a mini-bar. Guests wishing to get active can play tennis, ping-pong and pool, swim or take a yoga class. While those preferring to relax can soak in the hot tub or book a massage at the spa. There’s a choice of eateries; Mediterranean dishes are served at Sirene, with buffet meals in Safran. Alfresco drinks are available on Bar Marocain Rif’s terrace, plus there’s an indoor Sports Bar and a nightclub, Teatre Disco Bar, for dancing until midnight.

Sitting right on the beach with views of the Beni Snassen Mountains, this international chain hotel has fully harnessed a local spirit. The decor in the bedrooms and public spaces and cuisine in four restaurants is heavily Berber-inspired. But it’s designed to appeal to a worldwide clientele in its amenities. Iberostar has multiple places to swim: a dedicated entertainment pool with water sports, pools for children, a relaxation pool and an indoor pool. Star Camp provides 140 children’s activities across three age groups. And for the grown-ups, there’s a spa with a water circuit, a Turkish bath and an ‘Aliveness’ wellness programme.
