You will also find every treatment imaginable to relieve and relax your muscles in world-class facilities at a spa hotel in Marrakech. Spa hotels in the city are located in authentic riads right in the centre of the action with views of the Atlas Mountains, as well as further out of town in the countryside.

Cultural highlights in the city

Any trip to the chaotic tumult of Marrakech calls for full-scale, muscle-melting relaxation, along with Moroccan mint tea to complete the experience. Set in architectural gems boasting domed ceilings, arched galleries, elegant arabesques, and colourful zellige tile work, spa hotels here exude elegance. Argan oil will rehydrate your skin after a vigorous scrub down leaving it baby soft and smooth. Alongside the spa, beauty and wellness treatments, swimming pools and lounge areas in the courtyards are the ideal spot for post-treatment relaxation before heading out into the hustle and bustle of the medina to take in the sights. The Palais de la Bahia, intended to be the grandest palace of its time, is a great architectural highlight in the city, alongside the Marrakech Museum and the Koutoubia Mosque. Fashionistas will be delighted by the Musee Yves Saint Laurent and the Jardin Majorelle right next door. Of course, no visit to the capital of Morocco is complete without a trip to the vibrant Djemaa el Fna, where you can pick up some authentic souvenirs.

Outdoor activities further out of town

Spa hotels in Marrakech are by no means restricted to the hustle and bustle of the medina. Travel just outside of the city center and you’ll find modern luxury in typical Moroccan style at the Adama Resort. Made up of 57 villas surrounded by landscaped gardens and olive groves, the resort has the characteristic of a mythical town. There are a number of interesting things to see and do away from the commotion of the city. Located just outside of Marrakech, the Saadian tombs are a fantastic alternative to the bustling city. The tombs were rediscovered in 1917 and originally created to stand as the final resting place for the rulers and members of the Saadi dynasty. They are magnificently decorated with Arabic calligraphy, intricate carvings and colorful tiles and are a must-see while on vacation in Marrakech. A horseback ride through the countryside or on the beach makes a pleasant change from sightseeing in the city. Whether you are an amateur or a seasoned rider, there are numerous riding schools and equestrian clubs that you can book through to take a trip along the beaches of Oualidia or over the Atlas mountains. A full day trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate is perfect for those who cannot spare more than one day to get a sneak peek into the Sahara desert. Travellers with more time on their hands are encouraged to make the longer journey to Erg Chebbi or Erg Chegaga for a truly exotic and authentic desert experience.
