Es Saadi Marrakech Resort - Palace
Looking out to the snowy Atlas mountain range, the Palace offers sumptuous interior design by traditional Moroccan craftsmen and offers 92 exquisitely furnished, spacious suites. The pool covers 2400 sqm (26 000 sqft), a section of which is heated all year round. Each Junior Suite offers a warm and intimate atmosphere with its own type of wood: dark, light, mahogany, sculpted, or “zouaké” (hand-painted). The Moroccan influence is apparent in every area of the suite, from the nickel silver sinks to the marble hammams and mirrors with brass or sculpted silver frames. Each suite is decorated with its own blend of warm earth tones.
Es Saadi Marrakech Resort-Hotel
Located at the front end of the Resort, the hotel has its own Oriental Spa, a swimming pool, and a renowned gourmet restaurant. The Theatro nightclub and the Casino are in close proximity. Halfway between the walls of the old city and the Menara Gardens, decorated in tones of ochre and saffron, city-view double rooms offer a view over the bustling city.
Program
During this retreat, you will be able to enjoy free access to the purification and regeneration courses of the Oriental Thermae® as well as the exceptional infrastructures of the Spa du Palace, awarded at the World Luxury Spa Awards.
Yin-yang yoga
Yin yang yoga is a practice that combines the dynamic and static aspects of yoga to create a balance between body and mind. This form of yoga draws inspiration from the yin and yang principles of Chinese philosophy, which represent forces complementary and opposite in the universe. The goal of yin-yang yoga is to harmonize and integrate the opposing aspects of yoga practice, such as movement and calm, strength and flexibility, tension, and relaxation. This can help balance the body's energies and promote physical and mental well-being.
