Marrakech, minus the Medina madness
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, where olive groves roll into manicured fairways and the air smells faintly of orange blossom, Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech feels like a world apart – yet it’s just 20 minutes from the Medina. This is a resort for travellers who want space to breathe, scenery to swoon over, and just enough glamour to keep things deliciously decadent.
The rhythm here is simple: swim, sip, sigh, repeat. Golf buggies hum past olive trees, kids disappear into a treehouse club, and sunsets turn the mountains pink from your balcony. Come evening, the tempo shifts: jazz in Le Bar, sushi at the counter, mezze under lantern light, and a last cocktail overlooking the greens.

Find out more about Tameslohte
Tameslohte – pronounced Tah-mesh-looht – is where you can escape the Marrakech buzz without losing the Moroccan magic. About 30 minutes from the city, it swaps souk chaos for big skies, olive groves, and Atlas Mountain backdrops. Think peaceful lanes, dusty tracks and the odd donkey plodding past your swimming pool. Most stays here are in riads, villas or small resorts scattered around the countryside, so it feels perfectly private. Days tend to unfold slowly: breakfast in the garden, a dip in the pool, then maybe a hammam session or massage while the sun does its thing.
