overview
Just three and a half hours flight from the UK, Marrakech is another world; a marvel of sights and sounds with its minarets, honeycombed alleys and labyrinthine souks, Marrakech captures the imagination like no other city.
A day spent exploring its exquisite architecture and history, or meandering through the medina, the smell of spices in the air, brightly coloured carpets hanging from roofs, plunging into the hurly burly maelstrom of passages where tradesmen ply various crafts, from cloth dying, copper beating, and leather working to herbalists, perfumers and slipper makers, is a day you will never forget! And as dusk falls, sip sweet mint tea at one of the rooftop cafes in the Place Djemaa el Fna and watch the snake charmers and performers appear on the square; as the cacophony grows around you; it really is the most exhilarating experience!
With the snow-capped High Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, and framed by the red desert, Marrakech is a city that time seems to have forgotten.
Stay inside the medina itself in one of our carefully selected beautiful riads that provide an oasis of tranquility from the busy streets outside. These small, family-run hotels are lovingly restored traditional buildings, often with a pool and roof terrace, and offer excellent levels of service and genuine hospitality.
Alternatively, just outside the city, and away from the hustle and bustle stay at Jnane Tamsna, a luxurious country villa with 15 stylish guest rooms, a tennis court and two beautiful pools. Located in the Palmeraie District, an extensive oasis of palm trees and olive groves, Jnane Tamsna offers peaceful seclusion, enchanting gardens, first class accommodation and excellent facilities including the traditional Hammam with mud facials and sweet smelling emollients. Aromatherapy, massages, traditional oriental body and hair treatments are available upon request.
There are three golf courses nearby and horse riding, private yoga classes and other activities can be arranged for you upon request. If you can’t wait to get home to find out how to use all those exquisite herbs and spices you will have tasted during your visit, you can even sign up for a Moroccan cooking class.
