Amid Marrakech’s classic luxury scene, Mandarin has achieved something new entirely. It’s a five-star haven ditching the heavy Arabian elements. Instead, design is contemporary and inspired by the desert. If you can overlook the location, it’s a solid stay.
Stay at Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech
Discover the charms of Marrakech with Mandarin Oriental, where interiors unleash the unexpected. Think handwoven rugs, circular baths and Berber symbolism. The villas themselves are designed as laidback riad-replicas, ensuring privacy of the highest end.Explore the marvels of the Medina by day. Depending on your desire, a wealth of workshops can be arranged, as can adventures into the High Atlas Mountains. Hot air balloon excursions commence at sunrise, with spa remedies at the ready for those returning from flight thrills. Imaginative dining is served come evening. Much like the hotel itself, dishes are modern and redefining, combined selectively with traditional twangs.
Location
This gorgeous 10-acre resort is a 15-minute drive from the Medina, to which a gratis shuttle can transport guests. The airport is 20 minutes by car. Various golf courses are dotted closeby, while the Museum of African Contemporary Art is right next door.
Rooms
The property hosts 54 villas, seven suites and two infinity pool spa suites. Suites offer heated plunge pools and Atlas vistas, while villas are enclosed by high walls riad-style, and home to swimming pools, a small kitchen and sofa seating around an open-air fireplace.
Who is it for
Golfers will love the courses nearby. Twosomes will appreciate the tranquil aura. And finally, families can utilise a mini kasbah-resembling Kids Club.
Facilities & activities
An enormous, self-contained spa steals the show, with its marble hammams, yoga studio, gym and jade-shaded pool. Beyond this, you can expect even more pools, three restaurants and customised excursions, from fitness programmes and cooking classes to cultural activities and tours.
