Marrakech draws you out with its souks, gardens and neighbourhood food stalls, then gives you good reason to pause. Spend a morning browsing ceramics and woven rugs, stop for mint tea and leave time for lunch in a shaded courtyard. Beyond the medina, broad avenues and galleries offer another side of the city, with the Atlas Mountains a possibility for a day further afield.

Our collection centres on Marrakech, where the hotel is as much a part of the trip as the city outside. Courtyard breakfasts, tiled pools and rooftop evenings bring a welcome rhythm to busy days. Choose a small riad for a stay among the medina’s lanes or a garden retreat with more room to unwind. Leave time between outings for a swim, a slow breakfast and dinner beneath the open sky.
