Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech
Discover a cool, contemporary oasis set in ten acres of fragrant grounds dotted with olive trees, within easy reach of Marrakech’s foremost sights and city centre attractions. Moroccan heritage meets Oriental charm as fabulous 5-star amenities, warm hospitality and refined food make this a standout property on the city’s hotel scene.
Calming colours of the desert fuse with chic design throughout the resort, including the impressive suites and villas, which boast spacious interiors and outdoor terraces with plunge pools overlooking the gardens and the distant Atlas Mountains. Providing a modern take on a traditional riad, villas are entered via walled courtyards and feature one to four bedrooms, living areas and a heated pool at their centre. For those seeking even more space, a fabulous eight-bedroom penthouse suite offers a series of living areas, terraces and plunge pools.
The resort’s twist on Moroccan tradition with modern Mandarin Oriental flair can be seen throughout the tantalising dining venues. Shirvan Café Metisse takes guests on a culinary journey, emanating from the bold flavours of North Africa, while lively Ling Ling serves Chinese fare that complements drinking and dancing on the chic outside terrace. By day, enjoy a long, leisurely alfresco lunch at the Pool Garden restaurant, overlooking the resort’s gardens and ornamental water pools.
When you are not exploring the colourful souks and exciting sights of the city, the serene spa offers the ultimate holistic spot to retreat to, with indulgent treatments, hammams, a peaceful jade-coloured spa pool, yoga studio, and fitness centre. Personal training sessions, bike rides, jogging excursions, cooking classes, and a range of customised tours and activities are also available.
