INCREDIBLY SERENE ATMOSPHERE
In the heart of the Palmeraie, Palais Ronsard feels like a secret garden where you can escape the bustle while still enjoying easy access to the medina and its colourful souk.
This tranquil Relais & Chateaux hotel occupies an elaborately adorned 1930s mansion at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. It is centred around two fabulous pools, flanked by colonnaded galleries where you can enjoy your evening strolls. There are 22 rooms and suites that boast terraces, gardens and gorgeous interiors by decorator Gil Dez. You’ll also find six private pool pavilions hidden in the rose-scented gardens amidst fountains and century-old olive trees.
Palais Ronsard’s incredibly serene atmosphere belies the fact that is a mere 20 minutes from Marrakech’s medina. A little further afield, the Sahara Desert beckons with its endless dunes and the Atlas Mountains with its enchanting snowy peaks. When not discovering the wonders of the region, you can relax in the spa’s hammam or unwind with a drink in the stylish, velvet-lined bar. Palais Ronsard’s restaurants offer diners a choice of traditional Moroccan cuisine and Mediterranean specialties, which can be enjoyed in various settings throughout the grounds.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
