Location
About the surrounding area of Riad AlunaMarrakech, a mesmerizing city nestled in the heart of Morocco, exudes an irresistible blend of history, culture, and vibrant energy. With its labyrinthine medina, bustling souks, and enchanting architecture, Marrakech stands as a captivating gateway to North African allure.
The city's beating heart lies within the historic medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where narrow alleyways wind their way through an intricate tapestry of palaces, riads, and mosques. The medina's pièce de résistance is the iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square, a bustling hub of activity where snake charmers, storytellers, and exotic stalls coalesce in a sensory symphony. As the sun sets, the square transforms into a lively carnival of lights, aromas, and music, casting an enchanting spell on both locals and visitors alike.
Marrakech's architectural splendour is magnificently showcased in its palaces and gardens. The Bahia Palace, adorned with ornate stucco and intricate mosaics, whispers tales of the opulent lives led by its former inhabitants. The Saadian Tombs, hidden for centuries, unveil a serene necropolis adorned with delicate carvings and tranquil courtyards.
The city's soul lies within its souks, a labyrinth of markets that unveil an endless array of treasures – from hand-woven textiles and traditional leather goods to fragrant spices and gleaming lanterns. Bargaining is an art form here, and engaging with the local vendors is a delightful way to immerse oneself in the rhythm of Marrakech.
For moments of reprieve, the Majorelle Garden offers a serene oasis. This vibrant sanctuary, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, is a haven of cobalt blue buildings, exotic flora, and tranquil pools – a testament to Marrakech's fusion of creativity and natural beauty.
Marrakech's allure extends beyond its historic core. Glimpses of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop, and nearby oases and palm groves beckon for exploration. Whether savouring a traditional tagine dish, wandering the serene Menara Gardens, or admiring the architectural grandeur of the Koutoubia Mosque, the city's cultural richness and kaleidoscope of experiences never cease to captivate.
Intriguing, vibrant, and steeped in tradition, Marrakech offers a remarkable journey into the heart of Morocco's mystique. With each step through its bustling streets and hidden alleys, the city weaves an unforgettable tapestry of memories long after departure.

Best Suited For: All AgesIf running around the garden and having fun in the pool isn’t enough for young ones close by is Palmiya Fun and Water Land, with its vast swimming pools, splashworld, superb slides, football and padel tennis courts there is something for your whole family group to enjoy and most certainly head back to the villa hungry for dinner.
Getting lost in the souks as you no doubt will seems to really engage children as they try to get their bearings on their favourite stalls. It is easy to spend hours ambling from one stall to another in the labyrinth of little alleys, and however far you go it is never difficult to make your way back to the Djemaa el Fna. Also, if confident enough they will love to haggle, bargaining for any souvenirs that have caught their eye. Haggling is the norm here and is also a great way to get to know the locals.
Adrenaline-packed Terres d’Amanar balances out all that chill souk strolling. This outdoor centre,) south of Marrakech, offers zip lines, a forest adventure course, mountain biking and horse riding. The list of activities is inclusive of all age groups and abilities, and it's great for a full day out.
For an unforgettable family day out why not take a guided day trip to the Atlas Mountains. Enjoy being driven through traditional villages and orchard-filled valleys framed by rugged peaks, then perhaps stop for a camel ride before venturing deep into the Imlil Valley. Break for Moroccan tea and cake on a scenic terrace and chat to your guide about Ait Souka Village your next stop. At this point you can choose how you get there whether it be on foot, by mini bus, or there is even the chance to ride a mule. Here, enjoy a traditional Berber lunch, including tajine (slow-cooked stew), and visit a Berber family home to learn about their lifestyle, continuing on to Moulay Brahim near the Asni Valley, and absorb the views of Mt. Toukbal before returning to Marrakech.
