Colourful, chaotic and charismatic: Marrakech’s markets, ancient buildings and tiny boutique hotels ooze character and charm. Take a sensory sojourn in the Jemaa el Fna main square amongst snake charmers, spice markets and a cacophony of bizarre musical instruments – and be prepared for some hardcore haggling.
Just outside of Marrakech, the palm grove suburb of La Palmeraie is the perfect place to stay when you need a break from the medina mayhem. Hotels here are unexpected oases for couples and families, with walled gardens, gently trickling fountains and those all-important swimming pools.
