From stunning courtyard settings to an array of luxurious living spaces, prepare every one of your senses for an exceptional North African odyssey. This is the ultimate in palatial enchantment with a wide range of spa, dining and cultural settings to complement more than 12 acres of incredibly well maintained grounds. There’s literally a king’s courtyard of space for every guest and once you’ve strolled around the scented gardens, admired the mountain views and experienced the positivity of Feng Shui, you’ll be relaxed and revived in no time at all. If you dare to retire from the sanctuary of the outside world, you’ll discover your personal living space continues in the same vein and with outdoor Jacuzzis, heated pools and your own private terrace area, so it’s easy to slip into something more comfortable as you lay back and let your dreams take hold. And take hold they will as, wherever you turn in this incredibly decedent residence, you’ll discover pocket upon pocket of opulence and splendour. None more so than in the dining areas which consist of three extremely well-considered locations that allow the outdoor beauty and the interior décor to work in harmony as you spoil yourself in style. It’s not only the food and drink that will have you smiling to the point of distraction as the spa and fitness suites are pretty amazing too and include everything from: VIP couple’s cabins to yoga sessions with your very own personal instructor. Palais Namaskar quite rightly indulges all of your senses and then some, however if you get the chance to sneak out beyond the palace walls you’ll discover the traditions, art and landmarks that makes Marrakech such a ‘must see’ for all cultural adventurers.
