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.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
Set in idyllic Tameslouht, Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech moves a beat slower than the tempo of the city, wrapped olive groves, lakes and fairways, with the snow-dusted Atlas Mountains stealing the spotlight. Despite the sense of escape, you’re only 15 minutes from the airport and around 20 minutes from the Medina, with a complimentary shuttle running into the city three times a day. There’s nothing in walking distance – which is exactly the point. You come here to slow down, stretch out, and soak in the scenery, knowing that Marrakech’s souks, palaces, and spice-scented chaos are waiting whenever you’re ready to dive back in.
Hammams, a sauna with cascade showers, ice baths for the brave, and a private ladies’ area set the scene for serious unwinding at this spa. Signature rituals lean into Moroccan tradition: the Hammam Dada is a full-body purification complete with black soap, kessa scrub, ghassoul mask, and argan oil massage. For a glow-up, the Maroc Cactéa massage uses prickly pear oil to leave skin luminous, while Natura Bissé’s Diamond Well-Living treatments bring a more high-tech edge. There’s also a beauty salon for a pre-dinner polish, plus an indoor pool and juice bar for post-treatment lounging.
Four restaurants and a handful of bars mean every appetite is covered, from candlelit indulgence to poolside grazing. Al Aïn is a must for its Moroccan-Levantine mezze and live Andalusian music, while Capricci serves polished Italian classics – the breakfast spread alone is legendary, with charcuterie, pastries and an egg station that could fuel a small expedition. L’Olivier is your sun-drenched lunch spot, all Mediterranean flavours and crisp salads, while Le Sabra’s terrace is perfect for light bites overlooking the course. As night falls, Le Bar becomes the social heart: jazz, flamboyant cocktails, and freshly rolled sushi in a sultry, fireside setting. Over at the green, Legends Bar offers sunset drinks with front-row views of the fairways.
Joyful, easy, and refreshingly un-chaotic, the hotel's family offering busts boredom without the beach-ball-flying-past-your head noise of other hotels. The kids' club is a wonderland complete with a treehouse, craft workshops, swimming sessions, and even private farm tours. There’s a nap room for tired explorers, themed activities throughout the day, and a dedicated splash zone just for little swimmers. For babies and toddlers, the Fairmont Baby Room offers games, changing facilities and calm, colourful spaces for ages up to three. While they’re busy, parents are free to escape to the spa, the golf course, or a sun lounger with a cold drink. Everyone wins. No bribery required.
Whether you’re here to move or melt into a sun lounger, there’s always something to tempt you. The 18-hole golf course is a showstopper, framed by olive trees and Atlas peaks, with a driving range and academy for all abilities. The fitness centre spans comes with semi-Olympic lap pools, a yoga studio, and padel and clay tennis courts. Pottery classes, cycling trails, belly-dancing lessons, and evening live music keep the energy flowing. Or simply float in the 100-metre main pool and let the day drift by.
