Sofitel launches new wellbeing destination in Morocco
The Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea & Spa is the brand’s second hotel in the bay of Agadir alongside the Sofitel Agadir Royal Bay resort. Robert Gaymer Jones, CEO of Sofitel Worldwide explains, “I am delighted to welcome this new flagship hotel to our network of Sofitel Thalassa Sea and Spa establishments. The Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea and Spa offers the best of today’s thalassotherapy offer paired with Sofitel’s inimitable standards and is incontestably the new well-being reference in Morocco.”
The hotel, designed by the Moroccan architect Jamal Laamiri Alaoui and the French interior designer Didier Rey, inspires serenity and encourages relaxation. These two experts in their respective fields have combined their know-how, culture and personal inspirations to pay tribute to modernity and Moroccan culture.
There are 125 rooms and 49 suites (37 Prestige suites, 10 Junior suites and 2 Opera suites). Each suite has its own private patio overlooking the sea and offering a superb view of the bay of Agadir.
On the edge of the Atlantic, separated only by a stretch of sandy beach, the thalassotherapy institute is an integral part of the hotel. With its elegant, pure white decor, this area is devoted to resting and replenishing both mind and body in a healthy ‘detox’ atmosphere.
The hotel’s catering offer is also all about well-being and offers local products prepared according to the very latest dietary trends or traditional Moroccan dishes with a new twist.
There are 3 restaurants, including a gastronomic restaurant called ‘Le Palais du Jardin’ where the motto ‘eat well to live well’ reflects the choice to use only the freshest products, home-grown in the hotel garden or from the region’s farms, while minimising the use of oils and fats. A naturopath and a dietician contribute to planning the menu to offer guests genuine and personalised support. Facing the ocean and perched above the gardens and the pool, the aptly-named ‘Le Market’ restaurant proposes a cuisine of freshly prepared seasonal products.
Finally the poolside restaurant, ‘l’Atlantique’, serves a simple cuisine, with particular emphasis on locally-caught fish.
