A beautiful resort with exotic, tranquil gardens.
I was searching for the perfect place outside the medina to enjoy some peace and tranquillity.
I heard about La Maison Des Oliviers and decided to spend a few days there.
The grounds of this popular resort are absolutely beautiful and very well maintained.
Surrounded by olive trees, palms, and citrus trees, it feels very exotic, and the building is like a mediaeval castle with its cob walls and lush gardens.
There is a heated swimming pool that is kept immaculately clean and a pool bar serving good food and alcohol.
La Maison Des Oliviers is set over 3 hectares and has 10 standard rooms, 10 deluxe rooms, 17 senior suites, and 3 ambassador suites.
There is a small shop selling souvenirs on the premises.
I stayed in one of the standard rooms, and it was large and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed for my stay.
It was lovely just relaxing by the pool and literally spending several days doing absolutely nothing.
There is a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner.
The food was nice, and the outdoor seating area was perfect for pre dinner drinks or a night cap.
There is a shuttle that takes guests into the medina, which is 10 minutes away from the resort.
Some people have mentioned the surroundings outside the gates of the accommodation.
It is undeveloped, and I wouldn’t walk around in the evening by myself, but I did feel safe visiting the small supermarket during daylight hours.
La Maison Des Oliviers is a place for total relaxation.
I would recommend staying there after a few days in the busy medina.
It is a welcome break from the nonstop pace and a well-deserved retreat where you can completely wind down and catch a few sun rays.
I enjoyed my relaxing break here. However, I did miss the authenticity of the medina.
Although the staff were friendly and helpful, they are simply doing a job, and I missed the charm and more personal experience that I get from staying in a riad.
I would return again, purely for the contrast to the lively, touristic side of Marrakech.
Sometimes, it’s nice to do nothing except sunbathe and kick back for a while.
I missed stepping straight out of my accommodation into the bustling medina, so I would probably make it a short visit at the end of my trip.
La Maison Des Oliviers is located near the Agdal area of Marrakech.
