Overview

Situated on a stunning private estate just seven miles southeast of central Marrakech, Royal Palm Marrakech is a large and inviting luxury hotel with extensive facilities, pretty lawns dotted with olive trees, and spectacular views of the Atlas Mountains. With 135 suites and villas set over three floors, a large heated swimming pool, a spa, a golf course and a fitness centre, there’s plenty to do both on site at the hotel, and in the wider surrounding area. Although the service might be somewhat patchy at times, this is one of Marrakech’s best and consequently most expensive properties, and it’s certainly worth pushing the boat out if you can.

The hotel’s spacious communal areas are decorated in a traditional Moroccan style with a sleek, modern finish, and comprise a sumptuous bar and cigar lounge, and three restaurants. Breakfast is served in Le Caravane brasserie, dinner in the elegant Al Ain restaurant, and light lunches are available at L'Olivier, set beside the pool in the gardens. The 25 metre heated pool is a delight, and there’s an extensive Sports Centre featuring tennis, racquet ball, and squash courts, various fitness and cardio rooms, and a pilates studio. For any guest wishing to venture into Marrakech, the hotel provides a day-time shuttle bus to both the old and new towns, although note that advance booking is required and private transport should be arranged in the evenings.

There are a total of 135 suites and villas set over three floors, all featuring ensuite bathrooms and a spacious terrace or balcony with views over the gardens and mountains beyond. There’s an enormous range of room types to choose from, from standard Deluxe rooms, to Junior and Senior Suites, a Penthouse Suite, and a super luxurious Presidential Suite complete with a kitchenette, and a large open plan lounge and dining area which houses a fireplace and leads out onto a terrace with al fresco dining facilities for six. This suite boasts two huge bedrooms, each with their own private bathroom and solarium, and one with an outdoor jacuzzi. Laundry services and Wi-Fi are available throughout.

Children are welcome, and families have plenty of accommodation options to choose from. The designated Family Suite features two separate ensuite bedrooms with a shared balcony. There’s also a Luxury Family Suite made up of interconnecting Junior and Senior suites, complete with a shared lounge area. Last but not least, the Prince Villas are two-bedroom family apartments featuring their own private walled garden complete with pool, a Turkish bath (hammam), BBQ facilities, and outdoor dining area. Babysitters can be arranged through the hotel with 24 hours’ notice, and there’s a Kid’s Club for children up to 12 years of age, although note that children under the age of 3 must be accompanied by a parent or babysitter.

  • Hi Lisa and everyone at Tourdust,
    We've had a wonderful time on our holiday and wanted to pass our appreciation to you. Everything has been expertly planned and executed, allowing us to enjoy the holiday to its fullest. Special appreciation to Muhammed, Ibrahim, and Omar, our Atlas guide, cook, and muleteer, who couldn't have done more for us and were just generally wonderful and hardworking. Riad Hanane is a perfect base in Marrakech to complement the trekking as it's ina less touristy area of the medina, which we appreciated. The staff and accomodation was superb.Thank you again for a trip to remember!
    Bob, May, Grace, and Lucas

  • We had a wonderful time! Our transfers (besides a bit of a wait when we arrived) were smooth. The gentleman that drove us to and from the airport also drove us to our hike and he was very nice and helpful, clean car and very accommodating.
    Our tour guide on the first day, Mandy, was charming and insightful. It was a slow day in the markets but we appreciated the space and gave us a chance to hear all about the Souks. The gentlemen who was with her was a wealth of knowledge and both did a very nice job!
    Our hike was awesome and our guide was great- he even took us to a cool waterfall and took great care of us; lunch in the mountains was delicious!
    The hotel was so lovely and the staff was very accommodating and helpful. The food was great and the rooms very comfortable!
    I did a good amount of damage in the market (often accused of being Berber;) and truly hope to be back next Spring... maybe a girls trip or perhaps I’ll bring my kiddos!
    Thank you for organizing such a nice getaway for my husband and I; we will confidently recommend Tourdust to our friends!!

  • Wow, we had a brilliant time!! Not sure where to start…

    Transport was great, very reassuring to have all that taken care of and all drivers were polite and helpful. Good to know in advance to have some dirham ready for tips.

    Treking: Our guide Hassan, muleteer Centim and chef were great. We’d never been guided before and were a little worried about how it would all work out but Hassan went at a pace that worked for us, always made sure we knew where we were going and happy to answer questions but also to give us some space. Food was such a treat! Beautiful locations and we were thoroughly looked after.

    Accommodation. Mountain lodge were brilliant. Very cold at night in Imlil so glad to have layers. Staff helpful, food plentiful and delicious. Ouirgane Eco Lodge was a real treat after the mountains. And the riad. Oh my goodness. We loved it! Breakfast on our own terrace, a pool to cool off in. So much space and so beautifully decorated. We couldn’t believe it was ours for the period of time and a great respite from the hustle and bustle of the souks.

    The balance of the trek and city was great for us, kids saw all kinds of things in both places that really opened their eyes. Weather was very kind to us so it was an extra treat to have the sunshine.

    It definitely felt like a real adventure and something that we’ll always remember as a family.

    We had plenty of info from Tourdust and plenty of prompt replies as my queries popped up.
