L' Amphitrite Palace Beach Resort & Spa
A beachfront resort in Skhirat, about 20 minutes from Rabat, beside the royal summer residence
About this stay
Skhirat Plage sets the tone here: gardens run straight from the lobby down to a private beach area, so the Atlantic is a short walk rather than a drive. Days split naturally between the outdoor pool, the hydro pool and hot tub, and the sand itself, with a wellness wing behind the gardens holding a hammam, sauna and thirteen private treatment rooms. Families get their own kids' pool and playground, while the sun terrace catches the evening light once the beach empties out. Rooms range from garden-side to beachfront categories, with valet parking and a 24-hour front desk covering arrivals at any hour.
- Private beach access on the Atlantic at Skhirat
- Outdoor pool, hydro pool and hot tub
- Spa of about 1,600 m² with hammam
- Kids club and playground
- About 20 minutes from Rabat and 45 from Casablanca
Our take
L'Amphitrite Palace stands on the Atlantic shore at Skhirat, next to the royal summer residence and linked to the Mohammed VI conference centre, about 20 minutes from Rabat and 45 from Casablanca. It offers private beach access, an outdoor pool with a hydro pool and hot tub, a spa of about 1,600 m² with hammam, and a kids club. That conference link explains the crowd: many guests come for events. A score of 7.0 over 619 reviews is modest for a five-star, so I would book it for the beach and the location between the two cities, not for flawless service.
- Check the event calendar of the Mohammed VI conference centre before booking: large congresses fill the hotel and its restaurants.
- Use it as a beach base for Rabat: the capital's Kasbah of the Udayas and Hassan Tower are about 20 minutes away by road.
- Book spa time early on weekends, when couples from Rabat and Casablanca come for the hammam.
- Arriving at Mohammed V airport, count about 45 minutes to Casablanca and more to Skhirat; a transfer is simpler than a train change.
Why we love it
- Private beach area steps from the gardens
- Hammam and thirteen treatment rooms on site
- Kids' pool separate from the main pool
- Sun terrace facing the Atlantic Ocean
Why guests love itA kids club with a playground and a children's pool is what draws families to L'Amphitrite Palace, together with direct access to the beach, which saves carrying bags and children along a road. Parents get a large spa with hammam and a hydro pool. The Atlantic here is open ocean, so children should swim only where it is watched and calm. The downsides: the resort is also a conference hotel, so some weeks feel more business than holiday, and a score of 7.0 over 619 reviews points to uneven service. For a beach weekend near Rabat with young children, it works.
