All 135 lavish suites and villas have been furnished to the highest standard opening onto either a generous balcony or terrace.

The fully equipped sports centre boasts fitness specific rooms such as a cardio room, pilates room and kinesis room, and an impress 25 metre heated pool. Lazier days can be spent enjoying a cooling dip in the 2,000 m2 pool.
No stay would be complete without pampering at the superb Spa by Clarins, exclusive to the Royal Palm Marrakech, with special areas reserved for women only. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan hammam in one of the 5 single or double hammam areas for the ultimate genuine treatment. Guests can enjoy a range of massages in one of the 8 single or 2 double massage cabins, 2 baleno massage cabins or enjoy the haven of well-being in the yoga pavilion.
Dining at the Royal Palm is an experience in its own right, as every one of the four fine dining restaurants will be headed by multi starred chef Philippe Jourdin. Originating from Normandy, this multi-awarded chef began his career at Relais Louis XIII (two Michelin stars) as second chef then moved to the famous Tour D’Argent (three Michelin stars) from 1988 to 1993. This is where he met Michel de Matteis, Royal Palm’s Executive Chef and worked with him for three years.
In 2003 he was approached by the Four Season Group to launch their Terre Blanche resort in the Var. As their Executive Chef he oversaw all operations for the five restaurants including the gastronomic Le Faventia (first Michelin star in 2005 and second Michelin star in 2009) until 2010. The Bar at Royal Palm is sure to be a popular hub, with its own cigar cellar and indoor and outdoor seating offering exotic cocktails and refreshing mint tea.
The world renowned welcome, service and quality associated with Royal Palm Mauritius is soon to arrive in Marrakech, Morocco.
