Marrakesh, a booming destination full of surprises

In the last years, Marrakesh has become one of the most important cities in the north of Africa due to its dynamic culture, in constant change and full of life, but always keeping its origins in mind.

The combination of tradition with modernity and renewal can be felt on its streets every day, creating a mosaic of colours, an alluring city rich in inspiring aromas and exotic flavours that leave no one indifferent.

The passage of time is reflected in its numerous and beautiful World Heritage monuments, as well as in the beauty of the rich architectural sites built by the civilizations that passed by this imperial city of Morocco. And not only is the historical and architectural wealth the cause of this popularization of Marrakesh as favourite destination for a lot of travellers, but there are also other reasons that make the city an unforgettable place, where Group PY Hotels & Resorts has opened this month the majestic 5-star resort Palais Namaskar.

Gastronomy: intense and spiced flavours, very different from those common in western cultures, are responsible for captivating even the choosiest palates. In addition, we can appreciate international influences in Marrakesh traditional dishes, which result in culinary delights as the well-known couscous or its tea varieties.

The adventure of getting lost in its streets: although there are wide avenues in Marrakesh, mingling with local people can become a unique experience to let oneself go. You will always meet the busy daily routine of the city mixed with tourism.

The souks: touring the most typical market stalls organized around the spice stalls is a must if you travel to Marrakesh. There you will find a wide range of craft products, as lamps, pottery or leather goods. And to get fully immersed in the culture of Morocco, you will have to haggle over prices if you want to buy those products.

Nature: in spite of having a semi-arid climate, the variety of relief features in Marrakesh allows practising unlimited sports, from ski to nautical sports, including routes along the Bronze Age art or even golf.

The Hammam: they are traditional Arabian baths very closely related to religion that represent a perfect occasion to enjoy a traditional Moroccan beauty and relax session. Besides, this experience is ideal to relax and get a massage, as you create closer ties and connect with Moroccan people.


Marrakesh has been the last great incorporation of group PY Hotels & Resorts in our first international project, by the hand of Palais Namaskar, a five-star luxury resort, located in the heart of Marrakesh Palmeraie (Palm Grove). Suites, villas and palaces with private jacuzzi and pool, along with magnificent gardens, green spaces and 3 restaurants are the facilities that make up this luxury resort, perfect to explore one of today’s most visited cities.
