Leisure above all
Marrakesh, with its moderate temperatures, hasn't stolen its reputation as the favourite destination for those who want to just do nothing, relax and feel good.
Swim
Drop your bags and dive straight into the swimming pool at your hotel. You will find spacious swimming pools in most establishments where you can enjoy the healthy and relaxing sensations of jumping into the water. Also consider going to the aqua park with its waterslides, its wave making pool and its two lagoons for children. Though you are far from the coast, you can enjoy the beach there with its deckchairs and Balinese beds not forgetting its restaurants.
Attending to all your needs
If you are with your children, why not enjoy a balneotherapy? You won't have to worry while having your sessions since your children will be looked after by competent personnel and will be enjoying the immense swimming pools or the many other activities organized by each establishment. If you prefer to stay in town, opt for the traditional Marrakesh baths since some of the riads there have interior spas! There you will relax while enjoying the exquisite gentleness of North African beauty care and rituals.
Cooling down
You can't miss the Marrakesh palm grove. You can drive the 20km to this luxuriant spot where you can then renew yourself. Otherwise you can take a horse drawn carriage to the big ornamental lake in Ménara. Don't hesitate to imitate the Marrakshis by bringing a basket of traditional food and having a picnic there. The Majorelle Garden is famous for the multitude of plants flourishing there as well as for its Art Deco design. Stroll amidst its refined elegance. If you prefer the countryside, you can visit the Ourika Valley which is noted for its beautiful fields laid out like a draughtboard and where you can hike. A final suggestion is to visit the renowned Oukaimeden ski resort where the inhabitants of Marrakesh take cool refuge from the heat.
Among the stars
Don't miss the Marrakesh International Film Festival on any pretence. Its notoriety grows each year. Cinema has its place of honour in Morocco now that many feature films are shot there. You can run into top stars during this event held in a relaxed and serene holiday atmosphere.
To remember
There are so many possibilities such as sunbathing, enjoying magnificent swimming pools, cultural and recreational activities that you won't be able to do everything in one holiday!
