Es Saadi Marrakech Resort has created an exceptional family escape designed to suit each and every member of your clan– and ensure that even the littlest guest experiences a bit of this exotic and vibrant corner of the world. Es Saadi makes travelling with the family an experience that won’t be forgotten through its exceptional hospitality, welcoming ambience and exclusive children’s offerings.
Children can take part in cultural activities, learning Arabic writing or traditional Moroccan music, singing and dancing. They are invited to try their hand at gardening in Es Saadi’s 20 acres of palms, banana trees, roses, bougainvillea’s and bird-song, stunning gardens for children to explore. Passionate about the arts, Es Saadi’s owners – three generations of the Bauchet-Bouhlal family have put a lot of attention and focus in to various cultural activities including visiting the Palace gallery and taking a painting workshop, bringing out the young artist in these little travellers. For a sporting challenge there is tennis, ping pong, fitness, children’s yoga and many other activities. Not only is it minds that will be entertained but little tummies too, with mint tea making classes (under close supervision!) and fruit cocktail workshops. During the holidays throughout the year, Es Saadi offers families a number of different speciality and expert lead activities and classes for children to take part in. Enjoy Double Dutch Hip Hop classes, where children are led by professional dancers to learn a choreographed routine, for wellness there is yoga for a slightly more sedate activity as well as exciting circus activities. Each child can take part in their chosen activity on a complimentary basis, giving them a chance to learn something new.
As well as the additional activities, available throughout the year during the holidays, the entertainment continues at the kid’s club with an endless choice of experiences.
The accommodation available for families at Es Saadi is second to none with a choice of Suites, Ksars and Villas. For the ultimate family accommodation complete with luxury and comfort one of the Ksars or 10 Villas are ideal. The Ksars are situated in a quiet spot in the gardens by the pool, which take inspiration from the Berbers. Situated across two floors with two bedrooms, the Ksars offer families their own home away from home. Alternatively, if guests crave a little more space and privacy, the luxurious and stunning villas dotted throughout the tropical garden are the perfect option. With a choice of ten villas, each is uniquely designed and offers something different to the next villa, each with their own private pool. And Es Saadi’s hospitality is outstanding and each villa has its own butler on hand 24 hours a day as well as a car and chauffeur.
Located in the heart of the ‘Golden Triangle’ of Marrakech, in the quiet residential district of Hivernage and facing the snowy summits of the Atlas. Es Saadi is an oasis of splendour, mixing luxury, refinement and Moroccan tradition. Surrounded by eight hectares of majestic gardens, planted with orange trees, bougainvillea, roses, palm trees, banana trees and has a “lagoon” swimming pool of 2400 m2 with a circular bar immersed in water. The Palace is a majestic building and offers 92 suites, 10 private villas around the gardens and 8 Ksars. All suites overlook the garden and have views of the Atlas Mountains. The furniture is built in accordance with this tradition. The 3000 m2 Palace Spa, built around a 100-year-old eucalyptus, offers a unique wellness experience, offering traditional and technical care, signature massages, chromotherapy and also daily yoga for maximum relaxation and serenity. On the third floor, the restaurant ‘La Cour des Lions’ is a perfect fusion of modernity and traditional, in an oriental palace, offering its guests a panoramic view of the park and menu, elaborated by the chef Fatéma Hal, honouring the forgotten traditional dishes.
