New Year
There are plenty of reasons for getting away for a short break for the New Year or at Christmas time, not least for the prospect of swapping invariably miserable northern European weather for something altogether more inviting. Not surprising, therefore, that Morocco, with its 200+ hours of sunshine per month in December and January, is high on the list of destinations considered ideal for celebrating the festive season. Les Borjs de la Kasbah has organised a Moroccan-flavoured New Year’s Eve party every year since opening in 2007 (except two, during the covid crisis) and, according to previous visitors who have chosen to celebrate the occasion with us, it seems to tick quite a few boxes.
Here’s a brief summary of what’s in store:
the programme of entertainment begins by the pool, where aperitifs and appetisers are served, and continues throughout the evening. Performers include local folk troupes, a fire-eater, magician, performances of traditional Moroccan music and, of course, belly dancers. A six-course buffet dinner is served in a festively decorated marquee, with overtones of a desert camp, erected over the hotel’s main patio where the entertainment continues with a disco until the small hours.
