About the Hotel

A spectacularly transformed, 150-year-old hilltop fort, Kasbah Agafay gazes across olive groves, desert hills and the Atlas Mountains, just 20 minutes from the center of Marrakech. This member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World provides unparalleled beauty and privacy. Massive ramparts shelter guestrooms, suites and the signature Caïdal tented suites featuring sculptured mosaic baths. Adorned with Moroccan artifacts and antiques, these luscious accommodations gather around inner courtyards dappled with splashing fountains.

Complementing this sanctuary is the Kssour Agafay, an exclusive private members club spread over three floors in the heart of Marrakech. This unique gathering place was originally an aristocratic residence owned by a noble Moroccan family. Restored to its original glory, it now caters to a bohemian crowd of international travelers and colorful local residents. A melting pot of cultures, it is a place to mingle, dine on tantalizing Moroccan cuisine and enjoy live musical entertainment in singular surroundings.

Reviews for Kasbah Agafay

Not the best value for money

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 months ago

The location of the hotel was great and the setting for dinner and breakfast really excellent. But for the money you pay I think there were lots of things that could be improved on. For 160GBP per night I would expect a hairdryer in the room. We got one after asking but a really cheap tiny one. No kettle or fridge. Got a kettle eventually but didn’t arrive until asked again The room as you would expect v dark but no reading lights and the mattress not good quality and the duvet incredibly heavy. We did get the check out time wrong but they were gracious about it. Set dinner menu nice but no idea what it actually was apart from chicken. No drinks list or idea how much anything costs until the bill arrives. No fruit at breakfast even though I asked. The staff v sweet but didn’t have a great command of English. Pool nice and clean

A quirky hotel with great staff and good pool, but couldn’t wait to leave.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 months ago

A great restoration with an authentic feel. It now feels tired and in need of renovations. The bed was clean and comfortable but the furniture/ floor mats/ bathroom had seen better days . Spa?yoga? ? Tv in roomThe food was poor with little choice. However the staff were delightful- friendly and helpful. It felt strange being in such a vast kasbah with only 3/4 other people. Definitely NOT a luxury hotel and should not be described as such. We were very disappointed.

Extraordinary! Without a doubt, we will be back

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 6 months ago

We stayed at Kasbah Agafay during the last week of July, and the experience was simply unforgettable. The hotel, a former fortress carefully converted into a boutique hotel, preserves all the authenticity and traditional beauty of Marrakech while offering comfort, charm, and hospitality in a unique setting. The pool is extraordinary—spacious, surrounded by olive trees and gardens, and a true haven under the desert sun. Breakfast served by the pool was one of the highlights of our stay: fresh, varied, and with that personal touch that makes all the difference. The rooms are another treasure of the Kasbah: spacious, beautifully decorated with traditional Moroccan details, high painted ceilings, colorful carpets, and elegant wooden furniture. The beds are extremely comfortable, the linens of high quality, and every detail invites you to relax. Staying in these rooms feels like being immersed in a blend of history and comfort. The facilities retain the Moroccan style in every corner—from the courtyards with fountains to the colorful lounges and the peaceful gardens. It feels like stepping back in time without giving up modern comfort. But above all, what makes Kasbah Agafay truly remarkable is the service. We arrived late at night and were welcomed with a dinner prepared especially for us—a gesture that already showed the level of care of the staff. During our stay, my youngest daughter fell ill (completely unrelated to the hotel), and the way everyone was helpful and attentive exceeded any expectation: they prepared separate meals, were available at all times, and showed genuine concern. I would especially like to highlight Faouzia, the hotel manager, whose dedication and attention to detail go far beyond what one could expect anywhere. She made us feel at home, like part of the family. Another highlight is the hotel’s location, perfect for exploring the surroundings: camel rides at sunset, quad bike adventures through the desert, and day trips to the Atlas Mountains are all easily accessible and highly recommended. Kasbah Agafay is not just a place to stay—it is an experience of hospitality, beauty, and Moroccan authenticity. Without a doubt, we will be back!

Immersive Wonderful Stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 11 months ago

We’ve worked with many hotels while organizing group trips, and Kasba Agafay stands out as one of the most professional and well-run places we’ve encountered. Every aspect of our stay was handled with care and attention to detail — from the smooth logistics to the warm hospitality. Among all the stops on our journey, this was by far the most memorable. Highly recommended for both individual travelers and organized groups.

A Stay To Remember

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed March 30, 2025

A breathtaking 18th century castle in the Agafay desert in Morocco! We experienced a fantastic greeting on arrival to Morocco. During our stay we sampled traditional Moroccan tea and traditional Moroccan cuisine. The rooms and the grounds! Just wow! A truly relaxing space. Along with the incredible panoramic views of the Agafay desert and the Atlas mountains. They arranged once in a life time activities for us including traditional Hammam, quad biking and camel rides in the Agafay desert. The staff wen't above and beyond to ensure our stay was one to remember.
