Marrakech is an increasingly popular location among UK holidaymakers, largely due to ease of access from a multitude of UK airports, with average flying times around 4 hours.

North African cuisine is generally of the Tagine variety

(meat cooked in an earthenware pot) and is generally speaking delicious.

The climate sits in the mid to high 20’s, although it can get chilly at night in winter.

Marrakech is the land of golf for players of all handicaps, with the Atlas Mountains providing a suitably stunning backdrop to most courses. The hotels with which we work are all of excellent standard with a choice of b&b, half board or all-inclusive.

The Royal Palm Hotel spreads along the banks of Ghord’s Wadi, resembling an oasis within the spacious grounds.

Just 12km from the old city’s ramparts to the south of Marrakech lies the stunning golf course of the Royal Palm Hotel and it’s 89 luxury villas. Dotted with aged-old olive trees at the foot of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, it’s one of our favourite golf spots in North Africa.

Other great courses in Morocco include:

The Montgomerie: Designed by 8-time European Tour order of merit winner and 2010 Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, The Montgomerie Marrakech is a new addition to our portfolio. Located just 4km from Menara Airport it is very accessible and with stunning views of the Atlas mountains and the Koutoubia, is a must play in the area.

Royal Marrakech: Within 15 minutes of the bustling city centre, the Royal Marrakech Golf Club is one of the country's most celebrated golfing venues. The course is known to be a personal favourite of His Majesty King Hassan II and lies at the base of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Access to this course is very limited...

Palmeraie Golf Palace: Under the gaze of the magnificent Atlas Mountains, the Palmeraie resort's sublime landscape plays host to a championship golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones.

A land which has offered a warm welcome and encounters since ancient times, Morocco certainly has its share of world festivals.

Music, film and popular culture all have their place. Larger cities offer original events often addressing the theme of dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures.

A friendly atmosphere is guaranteed, wherever you choose to relax away from the fairways.
