Marrakech is an incredibly intriguing city, where you can explore a completely different world of exoticism, from the Jemaa El Fna to the Menara, to any number of mosques, each uniquely designed and decorated.

Visitors of this intoxicating place can also enjoy the largest souk (marketplace) in Morocco - this really is an experience that needs to be seen to be believed, with hundreds of small stalls selling all manner of objects, from the freshest foods, to beautiful boutiques offering lovely fabrics, pots, and decorations.

The obvious place to start is the Jemaa El Fna Square with its lively and exotic atmosphere packed with stalls, street cafes and even snake charmers! At night the square is lit and the smell of spices wafting through the streets is an experience not to be missed.

A day trip to the nearby Atlas Mountains can be a wonderful chance to escape the hectic nature of the city and delve into blissful natural scenery.

This boutique riad and spa hotel is situated right in the heart of the ancient Medina, next to the Royal Palace. Inspired by its regal surroundings, interiors are ornate and luxurious, whilst retaining the authenticity of colourful Moroccan design.

There is also a small, beautiful spa to relax in and numerous exciting excursions on offer too - perfect for those who wish to explore the scenery in an adventurous way before returning to the spa to wind down. 

To match the luxurious style of the ancient Moroccan castles, each, one of a kind, spacious room features handcrafted materials, from sumptuous soft furnishings to intricately carved wood. Amenities include a hairdryer, slippers, bathrobes and free Wi-Fi. Discover the unique designs of your room and enjoy the smooth, soft lighting and relaxing smells that feature throughout.
