Kssour Agafay (Palace Agafay) is situated in the fascinating medina of the increasingly hip city of Marrakech. It is the first private member’s club to open its doors in this mysterious city. Catering to a bohemian crowd of international travellers, PR people, journalists, artists, decision makers, well known personalities and colourful local residents, the Kssour is set to become the centre of a melting pot of amazing cultures and people. Located in the heart of Marrakech and spread over three floors, the club is a place to experience fascinating, superb, world class cultural events and performances in unique surroundings and of course it is THE place in Marrakech to meet friends, enjoy cocktails and dine on delicious authentic Moroccan and world cuisine. Built in the late 15th century, the Kssour was originally an aristocratic residence owned by a noble Moroccan family, but which later fell into disrepair. The property was purchased in 1997 by British-Moroccan entrepreneur, Abel Damoussi, owner of the magnificent luxury hotel Kasbah Agafay (Marrakech), and has since been painstakingly restored to its former glory by a team of up to 100 expert local craftsmen. The restoration work took place over a period of over two years and was completed in August 2004.
We welcome membership applications from each and every individual who wishes to be part of the Kssour Agafay International cultural foundation and private members' club. To apply for membership, please visit the Contact us page on this website.
Kssour Agafay is a grade 1 listed building and has been classed by UNESCO as a world heritage building. Abel Damoussi and his team of craftsman are therefore proud to have played a very small part in saving this glorious Moroccan and world heritage building.
Kssour Agafay Town & Country Club offers members and residents an introduction to a world of Music, Art and Culture. Kssour Agafay members will also receive preferential rates and booking priority on all the facilities offered by its sister hotel, Kasbah Agafay, a stunning hotel and spa retreat, located just 20 minutes outside the city. As a member you will be the first to be invited to all arts and culture events. These well designed programmes will consist of concerts and exhibitions of artists from around the globe, some of whom are little known and undiscovered and who are often exhibiting or playing in Marrakech for the first time. Musical events will be choreographed to incorporate the sounds and delights of Morocco and exhibitions will be displayed in unusual and exceptional ways. Expect the unexpected!
As well as invitations to this full arts and cultural programme members will also receive preferential rates on accommodation and the use of the facilities at both Kssour Agafay and Kasbah Agafay.
Kssour Agafay also runs Connect UK-Marrakech, Marrakech's first British innovative events and cultural centre promoting the best of British arts and forging UK-Moroccan links.
