Some guests, understandably so, would prefer not to be torn away from their luxurious villa. The Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech, has predictably got this covered, with in-villa dining available 24 hours a day. The chef can do a poolside BBQ or candlelit dinner for two, all from the comfort of your villa.
For a more upbeat affair, Ling Ling by Hakkassan blends dining and dancing. Much like its iconic Mayfair hotspot, the menu offers traditional Cantonese dishes and innovative cocktails. Ling Ling is popular with Marrakech locals as a late-night bar.

Hammam is central to the spa The hotel covers 20 hectares, so you really can get lost in paradise. In an elegant twist, each villa has a different variety of rose in its garden, helping guests to find their way home. The grounds also have farm animals and a vegetable garden, which can be set up for a dining experience. And if guests prefer a more active stay, they have access to two golf courses, tennis courts and bikes available upon request. For fans of a fly-and-flop holiday, there is of course the hotel spa. Inspired by the cathedrals and mosques of Andalusia, light speckles through the shutters down the corridor and dapples the pool. In keeping with the hotel’s loyalty to local culture, Hammam is a central feature of the spa treatments. Enjoy two hours in a private wet room while your body is cleaned, scrubbed and massaged – even your hair is washed. Other treatments have a specialist focus, such as digital wellness escape to recover from strains of frequent digital device use, or oriental harmony for those suffering from jet lag. The spa suites all have a private terrace or garden, allowing for outdoor treatments. With so much for guests to enjoy in the hotel grounds, it is possible to holiday without stepping a foot outside. However, the more adventurous will enjoy excursions organised by hotel staff, from a trek in the Atlas Mountains to a guided tour of the Medina. ●
