The larger Mountain Palace (460 m²) is a ‘stately home from home’, comprising an exquisite master suite and two king-size bedrooms, whereas the expansive Water Palace (also 460 m²) also features a private kitchen, 2000sqm of private gardens with a heated pool, and 24-hour butler service. Simply exquisite.
Dining
Inventive dining is intrinsic to the Palais Namaskar experience. Gourmets will be in seventh heaven as they sample fine French cuisine with magical Moroccan influences. As well as a gourmet restaurant, an elegant tea lounge and a hip panoramic bar, guests may choose to dine beneath the stars, either by means of a private picnic in the gardens or a candle-lit dinner by the lake.
Activities
Enjoy an indulgent health and wellness experience with entirely natural treatments at Spa Namaskar or explore the sensational surroundings of Morocco. Absorb the sights and sounds of the souk, get lost in the medina of Marrakech, or trek through the Atlas Mountains and experience the traditions of the Berber. For a truly unforgettable experience, take to the skies and enjoy a helicopter tour of the deserts or a sensational sunset hot-air balloon tour.

Best Time to Travel
Temperatures often lie above 80 degrees Fahrenheit between the months of April and October, with precipitation levels at low in July and August. During these months, the temperatures regularly break the 100 degrees Fahrenheit mark – if traveling with elderly guests or with young children, it may be worth avoiding a vacation in the peak summer months.
