Between the ocean and the land lies a place where nature sets the rhythm and luxury reveals itself in silence. On Morocco’s Atlantic coast, a secret lagoon welcomes La Sultana Oualidia, an exclusive hideaway for those who seek harmony, beauty, and peace.

An imperial city of Morocco, Fès is home to one of the largest and best-preserved medinas in the world. Wandering through its alleys is like stepping back in time: artisan workshops, the fragrance of spices, madrasas, and palaces that reveal centuries of history. Within this authentic setting, two properties belonging to the Virtuoso network offer two different, yet complementary, ways to experience the city: Palais Faraj and Fès Riad.

There is a Japan that escapes the usual routes, where mountains smoke, temples rise in silence, and cities tell stories of resilience and cultural fusion. This is Kyushu, the southernmost of Japan’s main islands — a land of contrasts and surprises. A perfect destination for those seeking authentic emotions, far from the crowds but at the heart of Japanese tradition.

There is a unique way to discover Morocco—through intricate details, quiet elegance, and timeless ambiance. That way is Royal Mansour. More than just a name in luxury hospitality, it is a celebration of Moroccan identity, envisioned and supported by the royal family. The three properties in Marrakech, Casablanca, and Tamuda Bay each reveal a distinct soul, yet all share the same vision: to offer an extraordinary experience where hospitality becomes an art form.
