A resort-style luxury hotel in the Menara area of Marrakech
ABOUT: Located opposite the beautiful Menara gardens, this luxury resort-hotel is only a short hop from the souks, Koutoubia Mosque and Jemaa-el-Fna square. Much distraction awaits inside the 40 acres of greenery: heated pools, comprehensive culinary options, spa and sporting temptations, and notably family-friendly offerings.
ROOMS: The 114 guest rooms and 27 suites and villas occupy either the main building or arcade-connected pavillions found amid palm and olive trees. They range from lower-floor Superior Rooms with terrace to Pavilion Suites with separate living areas and direct pool access. All quarters come with baths, iPod docking stations, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
FACILITIES: Dotted with fountains and facing snowy Atlas Mountain peaks, those vast walled gardens contain a secluded adults-only pool and a separate one for families (both heated in winter). Inside, the expansive Le Spa’s solutions are inspired by both Arab techniques and new-fangled Western wizardry. Four innovative restaurants span Moroccan, French, Spanish and Italian flavours, while Zest is a chic rooftop bar. Tennis courts, yoga classes, a gym and the nearby Al Maaden Golf Resort will all sate activity enthusiasts.
EXTRA INFO: Families are made particularly welcome here. There’s a free kids’ club, with face-painting and treasure hunts, plus a complimentary Young Adult Centre in which teenagers can play pool, table tennis and basketball, or on Wii and Xbox stations.
The Lawrence of Morocco map displays the locations of the destinations and accommodation that we have selected and visited; for each item, hovering over or clicking the marker will display a short summary and photo of that place or hotel, and hotel pricing. Follow the links in the info box to the full page listing which has much more information.
Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver. Alternatively we will arrange private (car rather than coach) transfers for you; helicopter transfers are also possible for some destinations.
We really know Morocco and have had the pleasure of making many people's dream trips become reality over the years. It has been our privilege to be asked to manage holidays, weddings and productions for so many fantastic and discerning clients. We remain small and dedicated to providing excellent honest advice to enable you to sit back, relax and enjoy the fun bits without having to manage the unpredictability of this fascinating country.
