Four Seasons Resort Marrakech
OVERVIEW
A relaxed 25-minute walk from the bustling medina, the Four Seasons Marrakech is an oasis of terracotta-hued calm overlooking the royal Menara Gardens. Despite being an homage to Moorish design (traditional exteriors, sleek inside with sumptuous furnishings) the hotel is one of the best, and most exclusive, family resorts in Marrakech – little explorers will feel just as at home as you do. There’s plenty for younger guests to see and do, with a dedicated kids’ pool, teen zone and plenty of amenities.
The regimental lines of palm trees will lead you around the gardens so your evening can begin with a stroll before heading to one of the restaurants where you can tantalise your taste buds with an array of world cuisines. The best evenings always start with a cocktail at the hotel’s romantic rooftop bar – don’t let the thirst-quenching drinks distract you from the rosy views of the High Atlas Mountains.

Where to stay
The resort’s 139 rooms and suites pepper the gardens in large pavilions and are light and bright and modern in design. There are 13 categories to choose from, though the Pavilion Suites would be our pick – they come with private outdoor terraces with private plunge pools. Heaven. Rooms have private balconies or terraces with sun loungers facing the Atlas Mountains or the peaceful gardens. The sleek interiors are equipped with every kind of modern convenience you can think of, from iPod docks to fridges. Marble bathrooms and separate dressing room add extra space, while the fireplaces keep you cosy in the cooler months.

What to do
Throw yourself into the frenetic energy of Marrakech’s medina before retreating to the tranquil oasis of the Four Seasons where you can be pampered with a Moroccan hammam ritual using olive oil soap and clay from the Atlas Mountains. Fully cleansed, sip a sundowner on your terrace as the sun sets over the Atlas Mountains

What and Where to Eat
The spacious terraces of the rooms and suites are perfect for dining under the stars but if you fancy relaxing with the family watching a movie, the Four Seasons’ team are on hand to serve hot dogs and popcorn. Whether you are looking for a light snack or a spicy Moroccan tagine, then head to the resort’s restaurants.
