Royal Mansour Marrakech: Imperial Golf & Palatial Spa

Royal Mansour Marrakech — Imperial Romance, Desert Fairways & Palatial Spa Indulgence

Behind carved cedar doors and ancient pink walls, a private world unfolds. One partner heads for sun-drenched fairways framed by the Atlas Mountains, the other slips into one of the world's most extraordinary spas — and by evening, you reunite beneath lantern light in a place that feels timeless, sensual, and deeply romantic.

Overview

Royal Mansour Marrakech is not simply a hotel — it is a living palace commissioned by the King of Morocco and crafted by the country's finest artisans. Set within the ancient city walls, the resort feels like a private medina reserved exclusively for its guests.

This is a destination for couples who value beauty, privacy, and experience over spectacle. Days unfold slowly: morning light filtering through courtyards, warm afternoons by the pool or on the golf course, and evenings wrapped in spice-scented air and candlelight.

Best time to visit: Fall, winter, and spring (October through May) for ideal golfing weather and comfortable temperatures.
What to pack: Layers for variable temperatures, golf attire, elegant evening wear for fine dining, comfortable walking shoes for medina exploration, and modest clothing for cultural respect.

Where to Stay

Instead of traditional rooms, guests stay in private, multi-level riads, each with its own courtyard, rooftop terrace, and plunge pool. Interiors feature hand-laid zellige tile, carved plaster, silk textiles, and intricate woodwork — every detail made by hand.

Privacy is absolute. You can spend entire days without being seen, enjoying breakfast on your rooftop, afternoon swims in your plunge pool, and evenings beneath the stars with only the sound of the city beyond the walls. It's luxury that feels personal and profoundly private.

Golf

Marrakech is one of North Africa's premier golf destinations, and Royal Mansour offers seamless access to several championship courses set against the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Royal Golf Marrakech: A historic course once favored by royalty, featuring mature palms and classic routing.
Assoufid Golf Club: A desert-style course with dramatic elevation changes and panoramic mountain views.
Al Maaden Golf Resort: Modern design with bold bunkering and artful landscapes.

Whether one partner heads out for a morning round while the other enjoys a spa ritual — or you both play together — golf here feels relaxed, scenic, and deeply atmospheric. The desert setting creates firm, fast conditions ideal for strategic play.

Day Spa

The Spa at Royal Mansour is widely considered one of the most beautiful spas in the world. Rising like a luminous pavilion of white metal latticework, it is flooded with natural light and infused with calm.

Treatments draw on ancient Moroccan traditions — hammams, ghassoul clay, argan oil, rose water, and warm stone therapies — elevated by refined technique and exceptional service.

Private hammam suites for couples or solo rituals
Rose-infused massages and detoxifying body treatments
Indoor gardens and serene relaxation lounges
