Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech
Five-star finery on the city’s edge
Enjoying a supreme position on Route du Golf Royal amid some 20 hectares of verdant olive groves and landscaped gardens, the sense of away-from-it-all is an intoxicating reality here, despite the hotel lying only 10 minutes from Marrakech’s iconic Medina and 15 minutes from Menara International Airport. Across 63 suites and villas, guests can strike out into the grounds and enjoy traditional Moroccan cuisine from chef Meryem Cherkaoui, eclectic Cantonese flavours at Ling Ling by Hakkasan, direct access to Royal Golf and Golf Al Maaden, and the sprawling 1,800sq m spa.
