Marrakech, Marrakech Area, Morocco
Kenzi Menara Palace sits in the relaxed Agdal district, just outside the historic walls of Marrakech. From here, you can dip into the medina’s maze-like alleys, scent-filled souks and rooftop terraces, then retreat to wide lawns, palm trees and mountain views.
You’re around 800m from the nearest restaurant and only 1.5km from Al Mazar Mall for shops, cafés and a modern cinema complex. Culture is close at hand too: Bahia Palace and iconic Jemaa el-Fna Square are roughly 4.7km away, easy to reach by taxi or hotel-arranged transfer. It’s a great base if you want city buzz by day and resort calm when you’re done exploring.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There may be no beach in Marrakech, but the pool scene at Kenzi Menara Palace more than makes up for it. The resort has two large outdoor freshwater pools set amid lawns and palms, one with a dedicated children’s section for little swimmers.
One of the outdoor pools is heated between November and March (weather permitting), making winter sun dips much more inviting. Sunloungers and parasols are scattered around broad terraces and garden lawns so you’re never far from a shady spot.
Inside the spa, there’s also an indoor freshwater pool – perfect for a quiet, grown-up swim (local charges apply for access via the spa).
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness is a big part of the experience here. The on-site spa features a sauna, traditional Turkish bath and a full menu of massages and beauty rituals – ideal after a day in the souks (treatments and spa access carry a local charge; typical opening hours 09:00–20:00).
Fitness fans can work out in the air-conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines and fixed strength gear and usually open 09:00–20:00. Outdoors, you’ll find tennis, badminton, pétanque, table tennis and volleyball, together with those expansive gardens for a gentle stroll.
Other handy touches include a concierge-style reception and on-site hairdresser, so you can easily arrange excursions into the Atlas Mountains or the desert and still fit in a pre-dinner blow-dry.

Food & drink
You’re well fed at Kenzi Menara Palace, with three enticing à la carte venues and atmospheric bars to match. Italian favourite Cinecittà serves classic pasta, risotto and wood-fired flavours for dinner, while La Terrasse de l’Insensé and Saoussane focus on Moroccan and local dishes – think tagines, grilled meats, fragrant couscous and plenty of spice.
The elegant Bar L’Orientaliste is your go-to lounge bar for aperitifs and live music vibes, and the Pool Bar keeps drinks and light bites coming between swims.
Smart dress codes can apply in the evenings, and some venues may require reservations or carry a supplement depending on your chosen board. Offerings are based on the previous season and may change.
Opting for All Inclusive gives you buffet-style main meals, snacks at selected times and a good choice of local alcoholic and soft drinks for a minimum of 12 hours per day – ideal if you like to budget upfront. What All Inclusive typically includes.
