Villa des Orangers
An idyllic 5-star hideaway in the heart of Marrakech, this Relais & Chateaux riad is everything you could hope for - lavish, refined and indulgent, while simultaneously serene and peaceful.
Set just outside the walls of the medina, two mansions have combined to create a boutique hotel of just 27 rooms, linked by courtyards adorned with arches and shaded porticos, fragrant orange trees, and even an 18-metre pool perfect for a cooling dip. Chic and discreet, the hotel is the very essence of intimacy and exclusivity, with elegant communal and private spaces adorned in a French-colonial style with Moroccan flourishes.
Take your seat in the romantic wood-panelled dining room or alfresco by the pool, enjoying refined dinners of a noticeably French influence. Charmingly, breakfasts can be served anywhere, whether outside on one of the patios or from the comfort of your terrace. As well as the main pool and a rooftop plunge pool, the hotel is home to a small gym, a beautiful subterranean hammam, and a spa providing a wide array of treatments.
