Are you dreaming of a sunny holiday in the winter without a long flight? With its warm temperatures and mild weather, blue skies, fascinating culture, and beautiful landscapes, Marrakech is the ideal winter destination. Fewer crowds means you'll get to marvel at the amazing sites and wander the bustling souks without many tourists. Whether you come for a long weekend, Christmas, or New Year's, the Red City is sure to captivate you.
Ideal for large groups, Palmeraie 32 is a sprawling 17-bedroom villa in the gorgeous Palmeraie neighbourhood. Enjoy the large terrace and private garden during the sunny afternoons, while the heated swimming pool, hammam, and living room fireplace will keep you warm on cooler nights. This fully-staffed villa in Marrakech includes a chef, maid, butler and gardener to ensure you have a truly luxury holiday.
In the heart of the Palmeraie, Essaada El Majal is a fully-staffed 4-bedroom villa that is an ideal home base for a relaxing holiday. You'll love the verdant, private garden and palm trees, a beautiful break from gray winter. The tennis court and heated swimming pool will please children and adults alike. Design buffs will appreciate the stylish decor that mirrors Marrakech's great style.
This luxurious villa is one of the best-kept secrets in the Red City. Villa Jacaranda has been lovingly furnished by its owners so that your family feels right at home. Divided into two houses for privacy, the 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms on 3 hectares provide ample space for your family. Luxury travellers adore the magnificent gardens, exceptional house staff and chef, and private swimming pool. What's more, the villa is just 10 minutes from Marrakech's magnificent ramparts.
A feast for the senses, Marrakech is a paradise for Moroccan gastronomy. The comforting dishes are ideal for cooler winter evenings: tagine (stews made in a dish with the same name), pastilla, and couscous, which has been designated by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Traditional pastries are made with almonds and honey, like baghrir, thin Berber pancakes soaked in honey. Restaurants come in every type, from food stalls in the souks to trendy tables. Your Villanovo concierge is happy to make a reservation at one of the best places to eat in Marrakech. Or book a cooking class for you and your loved ones for an intimate experience with Moroccan gastronomy.
Many people come to Marrakech for its incredible shopping. The colourful souks brim with locally crafted goods, a treasure trove of foodstuffs, clothing, jewellery, and home decor. Home chefs will love the fragrant spices, herbs and argan oil, which is also used for beauty treatments. Leather goods like satchels and babouches slippers and embroidered kaftans also make for wonderful, wearable souvenirs. Since Morocco is a Muslim country, you won't find Christmas lights or decorations in the souks. Yet, many hotels host holiday markets that feature local designers and artisans. Stock up on unique gifts for a memorable holiday for you and your family.
For centuries, Moroccans have soaked, scrubbed, and socialised in hammams. Visiting these traditional steam rooms invites you to experience Moroccan culture while pampering yourself. How do the hammams work? You'll lounge in a steam room, lather up with emollient savon noir (black soap), then scrub your skin with a loofah until it is silky soft. For a traditional hammam with Moroccan decor, head to Bains d'Orient and Heritage Spa in the Medina of Marrakech. Ring in the new year right with a decadent argan oil massage at a luxury spa and hammam at a five-star hotel. Whether its your first visit or fourth, hammams and spas are one of the best things to do in Marrakech in the cooler evenings of the winter.
