Pool bar by the sea in Dar Bouazza
Cabana Garden is a bar-restaurant set within the Hôtel des Arts in Dar Bouazza, on the coastal outskirts of Casablanca. The venue combines a pool, spacious outdoor terrace, cocktail bar and tapas menu, creating a Casablanca-style beach club concept that attracts a clientele seeking relaxation away from the city center.
Menu and drinks
The menu focuses on Mediterranean tapas and light dishes designed to accompany drinks: sharing platters, salads, grills and a few chef's specials. The sangria is regularly cited as one of the menu highlights. The cocktail selection is varied and prices remain within the expected range for this type of poolside establishment.
Atmosphere and setting
Cabana Garden's atmosphere is decidedly festive and relaxed. Live music and DJ sets punctuate the weekends, while the pool and outdoor areas invite daytime relaxation. Parking is available on-site, a significant advantage for this outer area. Wi-Fi is also accessible. The venue functions as a going-out spot for Casablancans looking for an alternative to downtown bars.
Customer reviews
Rated 4.5/5 on Google, Cabana Garden receives overwhelmingly positive feedback. Customers appreciate the atmosphere, quality of service and the poolside setting. The bar staff is particularly praised. A few isolated reviews mention sometimes rigid entrance protocols, but the experience inside is widely agreed upon.
Practical information
Cabana Garden is accessible by car from Casablanca (about 20 minutes outside peak hours). The venue is ideal for a poolside afternoon followed by an evening of tapas and cocktails, especially on weekends during warm season. Reservations aren't always necessary on weekdays, but are recommended on Friday and Saturday evenings.
