Les Deux Tours

Want a luxury stay in Marrakech, but prefer an intimate property away from the hurly burly? Les Deux Tours is just the spot! It’s a fabulous small resort, tucked away in the Palmeraie (yet only 15 minutes by taxi from the centre of town), set amid 3 hectares of lovely gardens — a verdant area planted with a stunning range of trees (many labelled for the green fingered amongst us) and dotted with a carefully placed range of day beds, loungers and seating, away from the pool, for those who want to soak up the serenity. This low-key luxury hotel is all about a relaxed way of life and its impeccably trained staff are on hand to ensure that your stay is 100% perfect. There’s a great range of accommodation from the classic doubles (spacious rooms all with either garden or patio, and the best with fireplaces and deep soaking tubs) to the fabulous pool suites (with private outdoor pool, salon, etc). The décor is classic but with contemporary splashes; think traditional carved doorways and vaulted ceilings, set beside modern artworks and statement light fittings. Bathrooms are equally indulgent and the best feature deep mosaic tiled soaking tubs, perfect after a day in the frenetic souks of the city! Foodies will not be disappointed either. The gorgeous restaurant (where breakfast is served daily too), has a lovely terrace for balmy days but come winter it’s dark and atmospheric inside, ideal for a candlelit tryst, and the food is delicious. As well as a good menu with influences from both east and west plus traditional Moroccan fare, there is a daily changing special for each course which ensures that you can sample the chef’s market pick of the day. The other noteworthy point about the food is that many of the ingredients are grown on site in the impressive organic kitchen garden. Lunch is taken at La Pergola, a relaxed dining area, just moments from the stunning pool, and is equally good. Facility-wise Les Deux Tours punches well above its weight. In addition to the aforementioned restaurants there’s an atmospheric bar with cosy alcoves and hidden nooks (plus outdoor terrace) offering a great range of signature cocktails, plus an amazing spa with hammam which everyone should try — your skin will never feel so good — and fitness room. It’s difficult to verbalise quite what a lovely place this is in its sophisticated, elegant, understated way! So don’t just take my word for it, come and see for yourselves!
