The Club Med La Palmeraie offers the comfort of an upscale, relaxation areas of a resort and the sports, activities and friendliness of a club. Located in the heart of the palm grove of Marrakech, it is connected by a shuttle to the Club Med La Medina located in the city centre. This allows you to visit the Jemaa El Fna square and the souks without having to worry about transport.

At the heart of the palm grove, near the club Lookéa Issil. The centre of Marrakech is a 7 miles away (allow 20 minutes) and the airport is 9 miles away (accessible in 30 mins).
The 300 rooms of the Palmeraie offer space, comfort and immaculate decoration. Spreading on 376 ft², each of them extends onto terrace or a balcony filled with a garden furniture made of wrought iron.. The bathrooms, decorated with zelliges (glazed terra cotta tiles), have been equipped with a shower onto the floor and a sink topped by a large mirror. The toilets are separate. In the room, a cozy sofa with dark-red fabric gives a pleasant touch to the Moroccan style, while the bed head is built into a bare brick arch. The closets, made of cedar wood, smell of the forest. A wide-screen satellite television is installed near the sofa. A direct telephone and safe are also available. It only lacks a mini-bar.
Opened in June 2004, the Club Med La Palmeraie consists of a main building housing the reception, the restaurants and the bars, as well as 4 units on 2 floors where the rooms are gathered. The very spacious relaxation areas, which cover a total of 60 acres, consist of gardens planted with palm trees, olive trees, hibiscus and roses. They are crossed by "séguias", the traditional irrigation canals, here paved with mosaics. The two swimming pools have been planned for swimming, sunbathing in beauty and relaxing. The biggest extends over 7534 ft². Crossed in the middle by a bridge, it allows you to swim lengths, paddle or attend classes of aquagym. The second swimming pool, called the "quiet pool", is much smaller, but it is not included in the animation programme. Adorned with a fountain, you can read or take a nap without being disturbed. In both cases, wooden deckchairs, mattresses of high quality, straw umbrellas and towels are provided. Every evening, a thematic evening is organised. On Monday, a Moroccan evening immerses holidaymakers into an oriental atmosphere.
You can access the buffet restaurant via a covered walkway facing the reception. It is divided into several sections, including a terrace and a patio for those who prefer to eat outdoors. Just like the rest of the hotel, the decoration follows the Moroccan tradition with major emphasis on traditional materials and details such as arches decorated with clay brick, wrought iron lampshades, and box beam ceilings. As for meals, buffets are varied, copius and tasty. In the morning, fresh fruit juice, warm pastries and trays of dried fruit brighten the stands of cereals, meats, and cheese. You can also have pancakes prepared for you upon request. At noon and in the evening, salads, meats, fish and desserts (fruit tarts, mousses, creams, charlottes) make up a menu that both looks and tastes good. Those who wish to enjoy Moroccan specialties in an intimate setting can make a reservation at the a la carte restaurant. A snack bar is also available to customers.
The Club Med La Palmeraie works with La Medina to offer its customers easy access to the centre of Marrakech and a more diverse choice of restaurants and cafés. Guests staying at La Palmeraie can have lunch or dinner at the restaurant of La Medina and enjoy the Moorish café, which overlooks Jemaa El Fna Square. To get there, a shuttle runs every 30 minutes from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m.
As for leisure opportunities, the club Med La Palmeraie has a wide range of particularly extensive facilities : clay tennis courts, a golf course with a pitch and putt course of 9 holes, a field for archery, fitness equipment and high tech spa offering, under the name of "Five Worlds", fitness classes (upon reservation before going) as well as a la carte care treatments, oriental scrubs and baths, massages, whirlpool baths.
Equipped with panoramic tower inspired by the defence towers of Moroccan villages, the Club Med La Palmeraie has glasses for observation on the first floor, where a Moorish café awaits you. Here, you can relax in the evening with the sound of a grand piano and taking the opportunity to identify constellations that emerge after nightfall.
Although it gladly welcoming families, the Club Med La Palmeraie does not have special facilities such as games area or a kid's club. Therefore it is better to stay somewhere different if you are accoompanied by your little ones.

Located 3 miles from the centre of town, right in the centre of Palmeraie, the Coralia Club in Marrakech offers, in a park of 61 acres, many sporting activities thanks to its various infrastructures and its large animation team. It offers typical architecture in the colours of Morocco as well as some Andalusian gardens.
The Menara is one of those old-fashioned hotels in the centre of town that attracts more from their prices than by their comfort or their charm. An address for a stopover ... to be avoided for a longer stay .
For those who want to live the Moroccan way, the Riad Al Wafa offer its 5 rooms and its typical Moroccan at the very heart of the medina. Charm and authenticity guaranteed !
The Club Med opened doors this year in a new, upscale type of marketing. The construction of the Club Med Riad, refined and luxurious, illustrates this new choice. "Here, they say, is the best of Club Med." Located in the Club Med La Palmeraie, the Riad offers holidaymakers personalised service and the opportunity to participate in the activities of Club Med La Palmeraie or cultural events of the Club Med La Medina (see this section).
The first thing you'll love about the riad Amina is its interior courtyard. It provides a calm setting, tucked away in the bustling Medina. The interior is simple but colourful. As is the case with any riad, it's better suited to a romantic stay than a family holiday.
This is a luxury hotel designed for a clientele that is looking for some peace and quiet. The garden provides an idyllic setting, but guests might be disappointed by the poorly decorated restaurant and the rather cold atmosphere of the hotel in general.
As its name suggests (Tikida being a type of tree), Le Tikida Garden offers lush greenery. Numerous activities and entertainment are available : here, boredom is out of question ! A hotel for families, couples and golfers, the Palmeraie Golf Palace being a few minutes away.
When it comes to describing the atmosphere at the Les Deux Tours, 'charm' and 'simplicity' are the first words that come to mind as you find yourself entering the hotel's peaceful, lush green gardens. This is a great place for all those who want to spend time in Marrakech but want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the centre amid truly heavenly surroundings where the birds, the flowers and the trees are the guardians of the 'temple'. The atmosphere at the hotel is a combination of a 1920's feel and Arabo-Andalusian charm.
It is hard to define this magical and unique place. The Palais Namaskar is completely different than what you will find elsewhere in Marrakesh and we were definitely won over! A luxurious little palace, it manages to avoid all those poorly chosen details that some luxury hotels are capable of including. Neither flashy nor ostentatious, the Palais Namaskar is sober and sophisticated. The luxury can be seen in its magnificent gardens, in the personalised service guests receive from the moment they arrive, in the stylish decor, and even in the lack of any flashy features. The Palais Namaskar will definitely become a go-to place for an exacting clientèle that is discreet but also, and mostly, quite wealthy.
A member of Relais & Chateaux, the Villa des Orangers offers its authentic setting and its outstanding service to all those who wish to experience Moroccan comfort and lifestyle. Its swimming pool with panoramic view of the Old City and the Atlas range is an additional asset.
Very popular, the Maison Arabe offers luxury and refinement of an oriental style. This former riad enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the medina, while still having a large garden in the palm grove, housing a swimming pool and a cooking school.
A luxury hotel in Marrakech, Les Jardins de la Koutoubia enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the city. Its sumptuous setting blending contemporary chic and Moroccan tradition, as well as its excellent service will seduce customers who are particular about their comfort.
Villa Mille et une Nuits, Villa Sultane, Villa Art Déco, Favorite Villa, Villa Berbère... You are not dreaming ! Although the scene looks like heaven, it is indeed real. Welcome to the East ! Private swimming pool, butler, personalised service ... brightening up a daily swim in a unique atmosphere.
Oasis de verdure aux portes de la vieille ville, le Sofitel Marrakech est une adresse haut de gamme offrant un cadre agréable, un confort cinq étoiles et un très bon service.
A hotel with the eleganceof traditional marrakchi palaces, the Amanjena is an address marked with refinement, charm and comfort. Golfers will appreciate the presence of a 18-hole course, others will enjoy the relaxation facilities offered by the hotel.
Excessiveness and pomp are the two keywords at the Taj Palace Marrakesh, which will definitely leave guests talking for a long time and attract a few curious visitors. Those who can afford to stay in this palace will appreciate the very personalised service, the welcome worthy of a king, and the attention that is put into every detail of the decor. Although there will certainly be those who find the decor isn`t to their liking, as it really is very razzly-dazzly and just too much. However, this hotel really is worth having a look at and is sure to stir up the curiosity of tourists.
