Sofitel Marrakech Lounge & Spa Hotel

Just outside the centre of Marrakech, stays here are equal parts relaxing and revitalizing. Location-wise, it’s the best of both worlds. Close enough to the action when you want a taste of the hustle and bustle, but with plenty of peace and quiet, too.

Kick off the unwinding by one of the outdoor pools, each of which has a swanky set-up complete with luxe sun loungers and a palm tree backdrop. There’s a swim spot for youngsters, too, plus an indoor heated pool tucked away in the spa, which also racks up a sauna and hammam, as well as a tempting line-up of treatments and massages.
