About the Resort
A private pool villa for every guest
Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech is the modern counterpoint to the city's historic palaces — a contemporary villa resort spread across around 20 hectares of olive groves and rose gardens, 100,000 roses among them, with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains as a backdrop and the medina around ten minutes away. The idea here is privacy: a private pool for every guest. Of around 63 keys, 54 are private villas of 288 to 423 square metres, each with a walled garden, a heated pool, a hot tub and an open-air shower, and the nine suites mostly add a rooftop or courtyard pool, two with their own 18-metre infinity pool. Dining runs to Ling Ling from the Hakkasan group and Moroccan cooking at Mes'Lalla, and the oversized, award-winning spa has two hammams, a fitness centre and a yoga studio. With family villas and a kids' club alongside the romance, it suits couples, honeymooners, families and anyone who wants contemporary riad living with mountains on the horizon, a short drive from the old city.

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

La Mamounia
La Mamounia is Marrakech's grande-dame palace — a 1923 institution inside the medina walls, repeatedly ranked among the world's finest hotels. Its eight hectares of historic gardens, with centuries-old olive trees and thousands of rose bushes, are open around the clock for the famous dawn olive-grove walk. The 209 rooms, suites and three private riads carry Arab-Andalusian zellige, carved plaster and cedar over Art Deco bones, and the dining brings Pierre Hermé patisserie and Jean-Georges Vongerichten under one roof, alongside the Churchill Bar and a nine-room spa with a hammam. The Koutoubia and Jemaa el-Fnaa are on the doorstep — the Marrakech palace benchmark.
Morocco
Kasbah Tamadot
Kasbah Tamadot is Sir Richard Branson's Moroccan home — a Virgin Limited Edition mountain retreat in the High Atlas foothills near the Berber village of Asni, an hour from Marrakech, holding Three MICHELIN Keys. Rebuilt and expanded after the 2023 earthquake to 42 rooms and suites, it ranges from individually decorated Deluxe Rooms to draped Berber tent suites with soaking tubs and private terraces, exclusive-use riads and a Master Suite with its own pool — Mount Toubkal on the horizon. Mule treks to Berber villages, cooking lessons and bread baking, a mint-tea ceremony, a mountain hammam and an infinity pool over the valley make it the Atlas counterpoint to a Marrakech city break.

Sofitel Agadir Thalassa Sea & Spa

A recently renovated, ocean-inspired property of around 171 rooms and suites, it sits on a private beach with over 300 sunny days a year — Morocco's winter-sun coast. Three pools (one indoor), healthy and wellness dining, an on-site art gallery and a Kids' Villa round it out, with Atlantic water sports and the Agadir Kasbah, Souk El Had and marina nearby — French wellness expertise meeting Berber hospitality.
