Admire the architectural wealth of the Medina by visiting one of its many riads, small oriental palaces arranged around a central courtyard, or relax at the Menara, a large pooled garden typical of the city. Marrakech relies on its incredible diversity to provide choice for its visitors. You need only head out of the walled center to become immersed in contemporary Morocco. The Guéliz and Hivernage districts offer the most up to date infrastructure, luxury boutiques and international brands along broad spacious avenues; all in Marrakech’s own inimitable style.

As a sign of a growing economic buzz, there are also festive and cultural locations including the Palais des Congrès and the magnificent Théâtre Royal. Enjoy Marrakech at night by paying a visit to the many themed venues, trendy clubs and traditional evenings that reflect the zest for life of its inhabitants.

HOTEL IN THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS

Just 35 minutes from the hurly-burly of Marrakech lies an oasis of romance and luxury. Fragrant gardens and gnarled old olive trees encircle the 23 rooms and suites of this secluded retreat. Made more tranquil with the hotel policy of only accepting children of 12 years and older.

The two swimming pools, traditional spa, private cinema and haute cuisine restaurant complete this inviting picture. The staff, attentive but discrete, will take care of every detail of your stay. From Marrakesh day trips or hiking in the Atlas Mountains, to intimate dinners for two on the terrace. This is Morocco, but as you’ve never experienced it before.

It doesn’t take long to adapt to the leisurely pace of life at the Capaldi. Lounge by one of the two pools, taking advantage of the comfortable daybeds, designed with couples in mind. Or bliss out with a spa treatment or spell in the traditional hammam. Explore the four acres of grounds and end the day with a film screening in the private cinema. Or just curl up by the fire with a good book – the shelves are well stocked. This is your luxury romantic break – live it how you dreamed it.

Adventure seekers can get their thrills dune buggying or quad biking in the Agafay Desert. The foothills of the Atlas Mountains provide myriad opportunities for hiking and mountain biking – the staff can arrange a guide or, if you want to go it alone, provide a pre-programmed mobile phone. Idyllic Lake Lalla Takerkaust is a 40-minute hike from the hotel – the walk is a joy in itself, but that’s not all. Picnic by the shore, stop for a leisurely lunch at French restaurant Le Flouka, or even take to the water on a jet ski. Camel trekking, para-glading and hot air ballooning are all available close by too.

For four nights you will live in ultimate luxury at the 4* Capaldi Hotel, which sits 35-minutes outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. This trip offers the best of both worlds, with this hotel being close enough to visit one of the most world-renowned markets, yet far away enough to kick back and relax.

During your stay, a private tour through Berberis Villages will be included, this is an experience which provides much insight to a very alternative way of life and how the history and values of this country are still very present now.

During your Capaldi Hotel Experience you will also see for yourself the stunning Atlas Mountains, have opportunities to taste the local, fresh and traditional Peppermint tea and to purchase a tagine pot at a local price, if your suitcase is big enough to fit one in!
