Best Wellness Hotels in Marrakech

Occupying a spot in the city’s Golden Triangle, Nobu brings its trendy vibe to the heart of Morocco. Its 71 suites bring together the best of local craftsmanship and new-style Japanese flair. The brand’s famous restaurant concept has a venue onsite (serving the famed black cod) and there’s a stunning Rooftop Garden with a circular pool deck, a bar and a 360-degree terrace with far-reaching views over the rooftops and onto the Atlas Mountain range. There are three swimming pools onsite and a 2,000-square-metre spa and gym hidden in the basement.

Riad Tarabel is an intimate ten-key, exquisitely designed hideaway in Dar El Bacha, the most refined quarter of Marrakech’s medina. Five interconnecting riads form a serene private mansion with courtyards, a ground-floor pool and rooftop plunge pool, a discreet hammam and spa, and private dining. It suits travellers who want the old city’s spirit with calm, considered luxury.

Art, French luxury and Moroccan culture are the key principles at the heart of this hotel’s design and philosophy. It’s located in the Hivernage district, with views of the Atlas Mountains. The minimalist chambers are bathed in white textiles, with tataoui bedheads, MyBed double beds, BOSE sound systems, espresso machines and Hermès toiletries products. By contrast, the styling in the spa takes on a more traditional theme, with mosaics and lanterns inside the pool area and an outdoor terrace that’s evocative of a Majorelle garden. Sofitel also offers a gym, an outdoor pool and bars.

IZZA, the most recent luxury hotel to open in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina. The property is a tribute to the late American socialite designer Bill Willis and presents fourteen exquisitely designed rooms (one with a feature alternate tread/witches’ staircase and kitchenette) which are set across seven interconnecting riads. A labyrinth of corridors leads to serene courtyards and plunge pools, a tranquil tearoom, a relaxing wellness spa, a composed library, and a rooftop terrace and restaurant presenting stunning views across the city. Owned by tech company Neon Adventures, IZZA integrates classic Marrakech aesthetics with contemporary art, thanks to its 300+ artwork collection costing £5 million. The hotel is a splendid fusion of contrasts; offering a blend of solitude and social spaces, vintage and modern furnishings, and a focus on local traditions and digital innovation, IZZA stands as a captivating retreat for those looking to explore the magic of Marrakech while enjoying exclusive events, cultural connections, and rejuvenation of mind, body, and soul – all bookings also include a complimentary 45 spa or hammam treatment.
