Palmeraie Golf Palace Resort Marrakesh

Marrakech - Morocco

La Palmeraie is a genuine palm grove oasis on the northern outskirts of Marrakech. Nestling in these idyllic surroundings, the Palmeraie Golf Palace is a fully integrated 5 Star Deluxe resort that spreads over a 500 acre palm shaded estate, the choice of facilities ranging from the Palmeraie Golf Club to the Equestrian Club, Waterpark and Shopping Mall.

Built around a spectacular landscaped pool, this Moorish style retreat of fountains, alleyways and shaded patios nestling amidst colourful gardens, captures the romance and magic of Marrakech. Cool corridors lead from the exotic lobby to intimate bars, exotic restaurants and the luxury guestrooms. Each room has its own private balcony or terrace the fairways, the pool or the gardens and was fitted to superior standards, fully air conditioned and with en suite marble bathrooms. Two and five room apartments are also available for parties.

There is an amazing choice of restaurants at the resort, with menus inspired by culinary traditions from around the world, backed by a range of bars and a night club. The array of leisure facilities at the resort include the Palmeraie Equestrian Club, the Health & Fitness Centre, five swimming pools and four tennis and squash courts. There is also a Shopping Mall with 25 boutiques and a bowling alley, while a Congress & Convention Centre will open in December 2006.

For golfers, preferential green fees and a range of golf packages are offered at the Palmeraie Golf Club. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and a regular stop of the LPGA European Tour, this championship course extends over 175 acres of rolling fairways dotted with lakes and tall palm trees. At the heart of the course, the clubhouse is a genuine little palace reflecting the local Moroccan architecture and life style.

A city steeped in legend and history, Marrakech has recently developed into Morocco's foremost golf destination and now boasts three championship courses: La Palmeraie, the vintage Royal Marrakech, founded in 1923, and the more recent Amelkis, laid out by Cabell B. Robinson. First of Morocco's four imperial cities, Marrakech lies on a fertile plain with the majestic backdrop of the High Atlas mountain range. Known as the "red city" for the colour of its buildings made of beaten red clay, the ancient Moorish town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Palmeraie Golf Palace runs a shuttle to the city and the airport.
