Tips
The best family hotels in Marrakech
With children, you do not choose a hotel in Marrakech the way you would for a couple’s trip. The pool, the activities and the space matter as much as the room. The good news: the city has many family-friendly hotels, from all-inclusive clubs with water parks to resorts with kids’ clubs. Here is our selection.
What matters for a family stay
- The pool: heated or not, with an area for little ones, and ideally water games.
- A kids’ club: so the parents can enjoy their stay too.
- Space: family or connecting rooms, or an apartment.
- The board: all-inclusive saves looking for a restaurant at every meal.
Hotels with a water park
Aqua Mirage
On the Tahanaout road, Aqua Mirage is a 4-star all-inclusive club hotel: 550 rooms on 20 hectares at the foot of the Atlas, a water park free for guests, 3 pools including 2 heated in winter depending on the weather, a kids’ club and a shuttle to the city centre.
Pickalbatros Aqua Fun Club
On the Ourika road, Pickalbatros Aqua Fun Club is built around a large water park with 58 slides, 37 of them for children, and lifeguards everywhere. Kids’ club and entertainment from the morning to the evening shows.
Pickalbatros Sungo Club
On the Casablanca road, Pickalbatros Sungo Club is a 5-star all-inclusive resort on more than 10 hectares: 15 outdoor pools, 2 children’s pools, a water park and an indoor pool for cooler days. Family and connecting rooms. From 2,500 MAD a night.
