For the cosmopolitan traveler who craves cultural and heritage experiences, Casablanca is the gateway to the more sophisticated side of Morocco. While Marrakech and Fez deal in ancient mystique, Casablanca offers up Art Deco buildings, luxury shopping, and oceanfront grandeur. Arriving via private jet at Mohammed V International Airport, you’re gently thrust into this sprawling city, where old meets new in chic ways.
There are plenty of luxury resorts in Casablanca that offer a mix of Moroccan finishing and modern service. Book time in palatial hotels such as the oceanfront Four Seasons Casablanca with its private terraces, and dine and spa with views of the Atlantic. Or check out the Royal Mansour Casablanca, a city-center retreat with stately interiors and white-glove service dripping with luxury. From these luxe bases, explore the city by chauffeured car or guide, venturing behind the scenes to find local art galleries, ritzy souks, and private rooftop lounges.
One of the largest and most elaborate mosques in the world, the Hassan II Mosque is a must-see during any visit to Casablanca. Private guided tours can be booked, giving visitors time to appreciate the intricate mosaics, hand-carved wood, and Atlantic vistas without any crowds. For a touch of cinematic glamour, eat dinner at Rick’s Café, a genteel reproduction of the iconic film set, offering Moroccan-French fusion fare in a classical setting. From sunset cruises around the Corniche on yachts to tailor-made shopping tours at a string of luxury boutiques in Maarif, Casablanca has the kind of cosmopolitan glamour that seems entirely unforced.
Casablanca is where the future and past of Morocco meet in a suave embrace. It’s got a city of striking contrast. Simultaneously frenetic yet pristine, antiquated yet fashionable, a litmus-paper high-end traveler looking for properly authentic, lavishly indulgent, and unforgettable experiences.
