With the Anantara Retreat Rabat, slated to open in early 2030, Minor Hotels will make its debut in Morocco with a 38-room luxury resort in the country's capital.
The hotel is being developed in partnership with Bloom Holding, the Abu Dhabi-based real estate developer with a diversified portfolio encompassing residential, mixed-use, hotel, educational, and planned urban development projects in the UAE and international markets.
Located in Rabat's exclusive diplomatic district, approximately 20 minutes from the city center, the Anantara Retreat Rabat will blend traditional Moroccan architecture with contemporary design. It will feature luxurious rooms, suites, and seven three-bedroom villas.
Surrounded by a tranquil environment and with easy access to the capital's main business and cultural centers, the hotel will offer a refined experience for diplomatic, corporate, and high-spending travelers.
Anantara Retreat Rabat will offer a variety of dining and social spaces, including a signature restaurant, a Moroccan tea room, and a swimming pool. Additional facilities include meeting rooms, an Anantara spa, and a fitness center.
Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is establishing itself as a dynamic cultural and tourist destination, combining its rich heritage with a burgeoning contemporary cultural scene. In 2026, the city was named World Book Capital by UNESCO, in recognition of its strong literary and creative culture.
Its location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bou Regreg River, along with its historical and cultural offerings, gives it a distinctive character. Rabat also benefits from the continued growth of tourism in Morocco and investment in connectivity, with a 7% increase in international tourist arrivals to the country during the first five months of 2026 and new international air routes improving access to Rabat.
