Hotel Review

Located just 20 minutes drive from the medina so easy to dip in and enjoy the exotic Marrakech vibe, this luscious sprawling Palmeraie property offers a relaxing rural haven with everything you could want for a sun-filled getaway. Owned & run by a Moroccan / English couple, the property has a warm & established aura; from the minute you arrive, a stay feels more like a weekend at a friend's home than a hotel.

Set over several acres, the mature gardens feature a lovely pool, sumptous day beds, open-air seating areas & outdoor gym; expect flowering fruit trees, shaded corners & impressive cacti. Two friendly resident dogs love to be petted & played with. Make yourself at home across a range of public areas; large fireside living room, indoor bar, outdoor Berber tent & plenty of pool loungers work for simply relaxing, parties or casual meetings.

Accommodation ranges from small but well-appointed rooms & private suites dotted amongst the grounds to atmospheric tented suites; many offer set-ups for families or friends. All share colourful decor with Moroccan touches & tadelakt bathrooms; views look out over the gardens.

As the sun sets guests gather at the outdoor bar for cocktails before heading to delicious home-cooked meals set up family-style. Strung with festive lights under the stars, there's a South of France feel to the open-air dining terrace.

An absolutely ideal place for days spent reading books, sunbathing & simply taking in the beautiful surroundings. Head home refreshed, relaxed & already looking to return.
