Where to Go Out This August: Your Guide to the Month’s Best Addresses
Summer is in full swing across Morocco, and the country’s best restaurants, hotels and nightlife spots are ready for it. From pool days at Marrakech’s finest hotels to seaside restaurants outside Casablanca and late nights in Tangier’s most talked-about lounges, this month’s edit brings together eight addresses worth your time. Here is where to go out this August.
Folie Bouznika, Your Seaside Escape Awaits
Between Casablanca and Rabat, Folie Bouznika has become the address locals build their weekends around. Set within the Bahia Golf Beach complex, this beach restaurant blends elegance and pleasure, with private cabanas, an infinity pool and a mood that shifts from relaxed afternoons to electric evenings. Sunset views, chilled beats and coastal energy make it the perfect way to end the day.
Sofitel Marrakech, A Pool Day Under the Palms
Le Pool Lounge is built for a full day by the water. Sun loungers sit under palm trees, the pool is steps away, and poolside service brings drinks and light bites without requiring you to move. The hotel counts four pools in total, including one with views of the Atlas Mountains, so there is always a spot to settle into for the afternoon. Between the swim, the shade and the service, it is one of the most complete pool days Marrakech has to offer.
Verdello, Italian Dining Served With Passion
Inside the Four Seasons Hotel Rabat, Verdello has quietly become the capital’s most talked-about table. The Italian restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes built on fresh vegetables, seafood and regional flavours, elevated by a distinctly Italian sense of hospitality. Its new summer menu channels the coastal setting where the Bou Regreg river meets the Atlantic. Italian dining, the way it was always meant to be.
Buddha-Bar Beach Mazagan, Signature Flavors by the Atlantic
An hour outside Casablanca, Buddha-Bar Beach Mazagan turns lunch into a sensory event. Set by the sea, the restaurant blends Japanese, Chinese and Mediterranean influences, with cocktails elevated by creations built around the five senses. Beach cabanas, a Japanese Robata grill and signature DJ sets make an afternoon here easily drift into evening.
Zaya Lounge, An Escape Into Oriental Elegance
Tangier’s newest address for after-dark elegance sits inside the Kenzi Solazur. Zaya Oriental Lounge draws on the meeting of two worlds, with soft lighting, enveloping melodies and a menu that fuses Oriental and Moroccan flavours through a contemporary lens. Deep blues, gilded frames and velvet seating make it Tangier’s most atmospheric night out.
Palais Zaitunay, A Stay in the Heart of the Palmeraie
Just outside Marrakech, Palais Zaitunay offers a different kind of summer pace. Hidden within the peaceful Palmeraie, the property is set within one hectare of landscaped gardens blending open spaces, natural light and refined architecture. With only fourteen rooms and suites, it is an intimate retreat where luxury feels effortless and personal.
La Pergola, Your Gastronomic Art Deco Restaurant
Inside Le Casablanca HΓ΄tel, La Pergola remains one of the city’s most photographed dining rooms. Its Art Deco architecture combines marble floors, wood-clad walls and a glass canopy enhanced by gilded pendant lights. Natural light fills the space at lunch, while evenings bring a romantic mood heightened by live entertainment. Where gastronomy meets Art Deco, dinner becomes an occasion.
Babouchka, Dance Until the Magic Takes Over
No August guide to Marrakech nightlife is complete without Babouchka. Nestled in Hivernage, the nightclub combines the glamour of Moscow nights with Moroccan warmth, backed by an eclectic music program and international crowd. It is, by most accounts, the city’s most electric dance floor once midnight arrives.
August in Morocco, The Edit
Where to go out this August depends entirely on the hour. For pool days, Sofitel Marrakech and Palais Zaitunay set the standard. For dinner that lingers, Verdello and La Pergola both turn a meal into an occasion. For the coast, Folie Bouznika and Buddha-Bar Beach Mazagan hold the entire day, from lunch to sunset. And when the night calls for something more, Zaya Lounge and Babouchka carry it through to the early hours. Eight addresses, one unmissable August.
