Kenzi Menara Palace

Kenzi Menara Palace places a golf break in Marrakech’s Agdal district, on Avenue Mohamed VI, with the city’s courses reached from a resort set apart from the bustle. This is an all inclusive base rather than an on course hotel, suited to golfers who want a different layout on successive days and a settled place to return to afterwards. Its eight hectare grounds bring together palms, citrus trees, fountains, mosaic paths and riad inspired patios, with the Agdal Royal Gardens opposite and Marrakech’s old ramparts nearby. The golf programme can include Al Maaden Golf Resort Marrakech and Noria Golf Club, while the hotel’s parkland setting gives the hours between rounds a slower pace.

Al Maaden and Noria form a regular pairing for stays here, giving a useful introduction to golf around Marrakech without committing the group to one course throughout the trip. Four night itineraries can also take in Samanah Country Club and Akenza Golf Course. For longer stays, Royal Marrakech Golf Club joins Al Maaden and Noria, with Samanah included on seven night arrangements. That range makes sense for groups keen to build their own rotation across the city’s established clubs.

There are 236 rooms and suites, all at least 55 square metres and each with a private veranda. Garden and Atlas Mountain views are available from Moroccan styled accommodation, while Family Rooms, Deluxe Pool View Rooms, Senior Suite Garden View and the Royal Suite give groups several ways to arrange the stay. Dinner and drinks can move between La Terrasse de l’Insensé, Saoussane, Cinecittà, Bar L’orientaliste and the Pool Bar. After golf, O Spa by Kenzi covers more than 1,800 square metres, with six treatment rooms, two steam rooms, a sauna, leisure pool and gym. Treatments run daily from 9am until 8pm, while the fitness facilities open from 8am until 8pm.
