Book your event +212 600 608 608

Finding a quality spa inside the Marrakech medina — not in the Hivernage or Palmeraie — is surprisingly difficult. Most riads offer a simple hammam shared between guests. Few combine the full set: private hammam, jacuzzi, pool, dedicated massage rooms and spa day access for non-residents. Here is the honest 2026 comparison based on 7 key criteria.

Criterion	What to look for	Riad Vendôme & Spa
Private hammam	Never shared	✓ Marble + tadelakt
Jacuzzi	Heated, panoramic view	✓ 36°C permanent, Atlas view
Massage rooms	Dedicated, equipped	✓ 2 rooms (patio + rooftop)
Pool	Inside the medina	✓ Private patio pool
Spa day (no overnight)	External access accepted	✓ From €25/person
Qualified staff	Trained, rated	✓ Naima, 5/5 Google
Medina location	Walking distance to monuments	✓ 7 min Jemaa El-Fna

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the riad safe for children?

Yes. The pool is visible from the patio, the Dar El Bacha district is the safest in the medina, and the staff looks after the whole family's comfort.

Can the cook prepare meals for children?

Yes. Our cook adapts meals: dishes less spicy, pasta, grilled chicken, crepes. The breakfast includes of the options that children love.

How do I book, and how quickly do you reply?

You book directly with the riad, not through a platform. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608 and you receive a written quote within 24 hours. There is no automated booking engine: every stay is confirmed by a person, and the payment terms are set out in the quote you receive.

Can the whole riad be privatised, and for how many guests?

Yes, Riad Vendome can be hired exclusively. The main riad has 12 rooms and goes up to 20 rooms with our second riad 100 metres away, for exclusive hire of up to 45 guests. During an exclusive hire there are no other guests: the pool, hammam, jacuzzi and rooftop are reserved for your group alone.

When in the stay should the hammam be booked — on the arrival day or later?

On the second day, not on the arrival day. After a flight, a transfer and check-in at 15:00, a steam bath and a black-soap scrub leave most guests half asleep for the evening, and the first dinner is wasted. We keep day one for the pool, the rooftop jacuzzi at 36°C and a quiet dinner in the patio, and we place the hammam on the morning or the afternoon of day two, when the body has rested. Slots are held for riad guests, so tell Éric your arrival time on WhatsApp +212 600 608 608 and the slot is set in writing before you land.

Things to Do in Marrakech with Kids — Naima's Picks

Every family is different. Naima helps you choose the right activities based on your children's ages and energy levels:

🌊 Oasiria Water Park — 4 km from the riad (15 min taxi)

The best day out for kids in Marrakech. 17 water slides, a wave pool, lazy river, dedicated toddler area. Entry approx €22 adults / €17 children. A full-day activity that tires them out perfectly. Riad Vendôme arranges transport.

🐒 Ouzoud Waterfalls + Barbary Macaques — 2h30 from Marrakech

One of Morocco's most spectacular natural sites. Huge waterfalls, wild Barbary macaques that eat from your hand, a swim in the natural pool at the base. Children aged 4+ absolutely love it. Riad Vendôme coordinates the full-day trip with an approved licensed transport partner.

🏔️ Ourika Valley — 45 min from the riad

Berber villages, a mountain river where children can paddle, local market. Calm, beautiful, very family-friendly. Perfect for a half-day with younger children.

🌺 Jardin Majorelle — 15 min by taxi

A magical garden, easy to visit with a pushchair. The vivid cobalt blue, cactus, and pond fascinate children of all ages. Allow 1 hour.

⛷️ Oukaïmeden — 75 km / 1h30 (December–March)

Africa's highest ski resort. Skiing, sledging, donkeys in the snow — a surreal and unforgettable experience for children used to grey British winters. Riad Vendôme coordinates the day trip.

🐪 Merzouga Desert — Family Bivouac (3 nights add-on)

A night in a Berber tent under millions of stars. Camel trek at sunset. Comfortable bivouac, from age 3. The experience children remember for life. All-inclusive from Riad Vendôme.

Best Time for a Family Holiday in Marrakech — UK School Holidays

Marrakech works brilliantly for UK school holiday timing. 300 days of sunshine a year, short flight (3h30 from London, 3h45 from Manchester), and no long-haul jet lag.

UK School Holiday	Marrakech Weather	Our Pick
February Half Term	18–22°C, sunny, no crowds	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect — best weather/price balance
Easter Holidays	20–26°C, warm and sunny	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peak season — book early
Summer Holidays	32–42°C July/August	⭐⭐⭐ Very hot — pool essential, plan early mornings
October Half Term	22–28°C, warm and dry	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ideal — post-summer calm, excellent value
Christmas Holidays	16–20°C, sunny while the UK is grey	⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great escape — consider Oukaïmeden ski day

Pro tip from Éric: February half term and October half term are our sweet spots — warm enough for the pool, cool enough to explore the medina comfortably, and generally better value than Easter peak.

Family Reunion in Marrakech — Cousin Gatherings & Multi-Family Stays

Riad Vendôme is ideal for a family reunion with children — when 2, 3 or 4 families travel together and share the riad. Each family has its own room or suite, and you share the pool, rooftop, kitchen, and hammam. The budget splits beautifully.

Family reunion pricing (exclusive hire, per night):

2 families (8–14 guests): from €520/night
3–4 families (15–25 guests): from €650/night
Large cousin gathering (25–45 guests): contact us — second riad available

Per person, shared between families, this is often cheaper than booking individual hotel rooms for everyone.
