The best hotels for golf holidays in Marrakesh, Morocco: Es Saadi - Sofitel Marrakesh - Kenzi Farah - Palmeraie Golf Palace - Naoura.
Es Saadi The Es Saadi (to use it's more widely used and wieldy moniker) is more of a complete resort than just an hotel alone. It sits, amidst verdant gardens, in the residential “hivernage” area of Marrakesh, just outside the walls of the ancient Medina with all of its souks and stalls. Once inside the impressive gates you will find: the hotel, the Palace (where luxurious suites are available), ten individual villas, several pools, dedicated spa areas, gymnasium, tennis courts, a variety of restaurants, a sprinkling of bars and the Casino de Marrakesh in which you will also find the "Teatrô" nightclub: in short, a full blown leisure centre for grown-ups! A superb venue for your stay in Marrakesh, made extra special by the kind and friendly staff who will welcome you with true Moroccan hospitality.

Sofitel Marrakesh***** A fully-fledged luxury five star hotel just outside the walls of the ancient city. All mod-cons are available inside, providing a very civilised base for discovering the delights of Marrakesh. The hotel bedrooms are large and well appointed, forming a U-shape around the vast pool in the hotel gardens, where there is an ample supply of sun-loungers. Breakfast is normally served on the patio overlooking the pool, with the snow-capped Atlas mountains in the distance. The hotel has a choice of bars, including the very welcoming piano bar, where there is often nightly entertainment (there is also a casino nearby and a nightclub). The restaurant serves a variety of European and African dishes and is the ideal place to familiarise yourself with Moroccan cuisine or try out the Moroccan wines varieties - very palatable. There is also an indoor heated pool with spa facilities such as jacuzzi and steam room etcetera plus a variety of massages and treatments available at a small extra charge.

To the North of the city (about ten minutes by the cheap and plentiful taxis) lies a region of Marrakesh called "La Palmeraie" (the palm grove). This is a residential development providing homes for Marrakesh's rich and famous and holiday homes for well-to-do foreigners. The area is an oasis of peace and calm between the desert and the city. Part of this development is the opulent Palmeraie Golf Palace: a large hotel with its own surrounding "village" of shops, bars, restaurants and even a nightclub - practically everything you might need is right on your doorstep. The centrepiece of the hotel is the enormous expanse of swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and bougainvilleas. The pool is divided into smaller "swimming lagoons" by island restaurants where lunch or dinner in the shady cool is a real delight amidst the desert heat. The bedrooms all have balconies either overlooking the pool or the golf course. Suites are also available. When it comes to dining there is a huge array of possibilities - Moroccan, French, Italian, even a Chinese! Or lighter fare is available in Le Sablier Coffee Shop. And just outside the hotel in the "village" there are other options too. As you might imagine the hotel is also equipped with a gym and spa where you could burn off a few pounds or maybe just relax and let yourself be pampered in style? |

Kenzi Farah***** A great place to stay for golfers: the Kenzi Farah offers exceptional value and a huge range of facilities all just ten minutes from “Jemaa el Fna” (the main square in the town centre). Bedrooms are generously sized: ideal for sharing as Twin rooms. In addition to the outdoor pool there is also an indoor pool in the Spa area, where you will also find the sauna and steam room. For dining there is a choice between Le Johara, a Mediterranean style restaurant, for something more genuine Bedouin try the La Khaima restaurant. We can also offer you a half-board stay, when you can feast on the extensive buffet every evening in L’Orangerie (you'll find a different European theme each evening). After dinner, make your way to the lively and popular bar where you will find live music nearly every evening.

| Naoura*****
In the very heart of the city, surrounded by the amazing sights, sounds and smells of the ancient Medinah, souks and the unforgettable town square the Jmaa el Fnaar, the Naoura is the absolute latest word in luxury. Built, owned and run by the French hotel and casino group: Lucien Barriere, no expense has been spared creating this idyll of luxurious living. The hotel has a large central pool with bedrooms arranged around the edges. The bedrooms come in three categories: Superior - all on the ground floor with a patio by the pool; Deluxe - on the first floor with a private balcony and Suites - the very essence of sumptuousness! Needless to add there is a very gastronomic restaurant Fouquets (reminiscent of their two-Michelin starred establishment in Paris) and bar at the Naoura. All of Marrakesh's other dining and evening attractions are just a few paces from your front door. |
