Few destinations offer quite as many ways to stay as Marrakech.
One trip might mean waking up in a traditional riad tucked away behind the walls of the medina; another could be spent beside a palm-fringed pool at a sprawling resort. Add luxury retreats, golf, spas and plenty of Moroccan character, and choosing the right hotel can shape the entire Marrakech experience.
Here are six very different stays to help match your clients with their perfect side of the Red City.
5* Pickalbatros Hotel Du Golf
For clients who prefer their Marrakech escape with plenty of space to unwind, Pickalbatros Hotel Du Golf offers a resort-style setting within the Palmeraie.
Set within extensive landscaped grounds and overlooking a golf course, the hotel combines contemporary Moroccan design with indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, fitness facilities and several places to eat and drink. Its adults-friendly 16+ concept also makes it an appealing option for couples and clients looking for a more grown-up escape.
5* Es Saadi Marrakech Resort – Hotel
A long-established name in Marrakech, Es Saadi Marrakech Resort brings together a central location and the feeling of a resort retreat.
Set within eight hectares of gardens in the Hivernage district, the hotel places guests within easy reach of the medina while offering plenty to enjoy without leaving the grounds. There’s a heated outdoor pool, spa and wellness facilities, tennis courts, restaurants and bars, with the surrounding gardens adding a welcome sense of space.
4* Jaal Riad Resort Marrakech
Jaal Riad Resort Marrakech takes inspiration from traditional Moroccan architecture and gives it a contemporary resort feel.
Built around courtyards and gardens, the adults-only property offers an altogether calmer take on Marrakech. Guests can spend time beside the outdoor pool, retreat to the spa and hammam, or choose from several dining experiences, while the hotel’s design brings plenty of Moroccan influence into the stay.
5* Four Seasons Resort Marrakech
For clients looking to make the hotel part of the holiday, Four Seasons Resort Marrakech delivers a distinctly luxurious take on the city.
Set across 40 acres of gardens between the ancient medina and the modern Ville Nouvelle, the resort has two swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, alongside a Moroccan hammam, spa, fitness centre and tennis courts. Rooms, suites and pavilions open onto balconies or terraces, creating a sense of space that feels far removed from the energy of the city outside.
4* Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie Marrakech
For clients who want everything taken care of, Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie Marrakech brings an all-inclusive option into the mix.
Located in Marrakech’s Palmeraie area, the resort sits within extensive gardens and offers three swimming pools – including an adults-only relaxation pool – alongside sports facilities, entertainment and a spa. There’s plenty for younger guests too, making this one of the more family-focused choices in our selection.
5* Riad 72
At the opposite end of the scale is Riad 72, an intimate stay that puts clients much closer to the traditional Marrakech experience.
Hidden within the medina, this boutique riad combines Moroccan craftsmanship with contemporary design, centred around a peaceful courtyard. Its rooftop terrace offers views across the rooftops towards the Atlas Mountains, while the hammam, restaurant and individually designed rooms create an experience that feels a world away from a large resort.
Which Marrakech will your clients choose?
That’s the beauty of Marrakech: there isn’t just one way to experience it.
For some clients, it’s about disappearing into the medina and staying somewhere intimate and full of character. For others, it’s about pools, gardens, spas and having somewhere peaceful to return to after a day exploring. Families might value the simplicity of an all-inclusive resort, while couples may be looking for an adults-only retreat.
Understanding how your clients want to experience Marrakech can therefore be just as important as deciding that Marrakech is the right destination in the first place.
