A comfortable, quiet desert camp with heated pools and wide skies, close enough to the airport for the last nights of a Marrakech break. Check availability for the Emotion Suite. A small, quiet camp an hour out of the city where the desert, the heated pools and the night sky are the stay, and the Medina is a day trip. Characterful rather than polished, and priced as a treat.
It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
A full-service family resort under the Atlas, with a free kids' club, a heated 100-metre pool and golf, and the Medina a short drive away. Check availability for the Junior Suite Atlas View. A large, polished resort outside the city where the pool, the kids' club, golf and the spa are the holiday, and the Medina is a drive. Expensive, and built for staying in.
It has indoor and outdoor pools. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
