1 month before your wedding day, we need to be made aware of the number of guaranteed guests that will be attending as well as their dietary requirements. Payment must also be made by that time.

We have three beautiful and private venues available for you to choose from depending on what it is you’re looking for; The Khaima, The Ceremony Room, The Victory Suite and the adjoining Sunset Terrace. The Khaima, our authentic, stunning and spacious Moroccan marquee is located next to the pool in a shaded and quiet area of the hotel, and provides the perfect venue to create that exclusive and uniquely magical ambience. Emanating a timeless elegance, The Victory Suite and the adjoining Sunset Terrace boast unparalleled views of Gibraltar’s magnificent seascape and the Rif Mountains of Morocco in the distance, providing a spectacular experience for you and your guests. For a more intimate Wedding, The Ceremony Room is a romantic and memorable spot offering the same jaw dropping views across the bay of Gibraltar.
During the summer months, from April 1st to October 31st, the pool decking can be hired for private use from 20:45. During daytime the pool area is open to all hotel residents. During Winter months the pool is not open, so the pool decking is not subject to these time restrictions. Please be aware that no decorations are allowed near the pool area. These include candles among other decorations.
