Arranged on requestLate afternoon or evening
The Medina
A thousand years of city built without a grid. Go with someone who knows it and it opens up; go alone and it is still one of the great walks on earth.
Experiences
Everything worth doing. None of it obligatory.
This is a menu, not a timetable. Some of it is part of the stay, some is arranged on request, and some is simply a good idea we will point you towards.
How to read this
- Part of the stay
- Arranged on request
- Our recommendation, your plan
- Arranged on requestA full Saturday, or an afternoon to the foothills
Atlas Mountains
Snow on the peaks for much of the year, valleys with walnut trees and villages built into the slope. The change in air is immediate.
- Part of the stayDaily — breakfast is part of the stay
Moroccan food
Bread that arrives hot, tagines that took all morning, olives and preserved lemon, mint tea poured from a height. The cooking is the argument.
- Arranged on requestAfter work, or a slow Sunday
Hammam
Steam, black soap, a scrub that is more thorough than you expect. An hour that resets a week at a desk.
- Our recommendation, your plan18:01 onwards
Rooftops
Marrakech is best read from above. Most of the good ones belong to cafés, and most of them are open when you finish work.
- Arranged on requestWeekend — best on the 14-day stay
The desert road
South of the mountains the landscape empties out completely. Distances are real and worth planning properly — this is a weekend, not an evening.
- Our recommendation, your planAny afternoon
Markets & makers
Souks organised by craft — metal in one lane, leather in the next, wool somewhere behind. Watching the work is better than buying the output.
- Part of the stayWhenever you close the laptop
The pool
Twenty metres from your desk. The most-used amenity of the entire stay, and the reason lunch breaks get longer.
- Our recommendation, your planEarly morning or after work
Gardens & quiet ground
Palm groves, olive terraces and walled gardens built for shade. Good places to take a call you would rather take walking.
