The Palmeraie is a green, palm-filled resort area near Marrakech in Morocco, offering a calmer, more spacious alternative to staying in the heart of the city. It is known for its relaxed resorts and gardens, with the buzz of Marrakech just a short trip away.

It suits couples and families who want sunshine, comfort and a peaceful base, with the option of diving into the city's famous sights and souks whenever they please.

Where to stay in the Palmeraie

Hotel Club SUNGO by Pickalbatros is a four-star resort property in the Marrakech area, providing a comfortable base from which to enjoy both the calm of the resort surroundings and the nearby city.

Getting there and when to go

UK visitors fly into Marrakech and transfer the short distance to the Palmeraie. The climate is warm and dry, with very hot summers and pleasant, milder winters, which makes the cooler months especially popular for sightseeing in comfort.

The setting and the city

The Palmeraie is inland rather than coastal, so the focus is on resort pools, gardens and relaxation rather than beaches. Its real draw is proximity to Marrakech, with its historic medina, markets and culture all within easy reach.

Food and things to do

Moroccan cuisine is a highlight, and resorts here often pair it with international choices and spa facilities. Many visitors split their time between relaxing at the resort and exploring Marrakech's sights, souks and squares.

Who it suits

The Palmeraie is ideal for couples and families who want a calm, comfortable, sun-filled base with the culture and excitement of Marrakech close at hand.
