Top 8 tips to find some cool relief in Marrakech

Take a stroll in a garden

What better way to take a break than in the shade of trees? The city offers numerous gardens ready to welcome your entire family. For example, the Ourika Bio Aromatic Garden invites you to discover plants and learn more about their benefits, uses, and regional traditions. You can spend the day there, order a traditional meal onsite, and join wellness activities or cooking classes.

Embark on a cruise… almost!

If you want to escape and take a cruise over dinner, head to the Queen Atlantic. The establishment greets you in a setting reminiscent of the TV series "The Love Boat." The staff, dressed as a crew, introduces you to international cuisine accompanied by a live band. A culinary stop that's quite the surprise in the heart of Guéliz.

Enjoy a good ice cream

Just because it's hot doesn't mean we lose our appetite! And nothing beats a good ice cream to refresh your mind. Whether it's artisanal, Italian, or a sorbet, the hardest part is choosing the flavor! La Boutique de la Table du Marché offers a wide variety of choices to satisfy both the traditional and the adventurous among us. What will you be tempted by?

Have a family day at the pool

Kids handle the heat less well than we do. They'll be thrilled to spend a day at the pool. With its dozens of fun and refreshing attractions, the Oasiria water park is the perfect place for a family day out. Why not then head to La Paillote restaurant within the complex? This charming establishment offers elegant decor in a lodge style. You can enjoy lunch or dinner under the olive trees in complete intimacy.

Sip a smoothie or fresh fruit juice

Sweet, creamy, full of vitamins and goodness, fresh fruit cocktails and smoothies are perfect for boosting energy and freshness. The concept store Ayaso offers delicious freshly made fruit juices using only organic and locally sourced ingredients. If you're more of a smoothie fan, Bazz'art Lounge welcomes you on its terrace, sheltered by reeds.

Plan a shopping day

A good way to cool down is by stepping into air-conditioned spaces. For this, gather your friends and enjoy a shopping trip to Almazar center. Ready-to-wear, home decor, cultural or sports items... there's a wide selection, and all shops are air-conditioned. The center also offers several dining options for a break between purchases.

Escape to the countryside

Take a green break and head to the countryside for a day. Bordered by vineyards, the Jnane Tihihit guesthouse offers a delicious lunch highlighting garden produce. You can even follow the waterways leading to Lake Lalla Takerkoust or visit the barn animals. Located on the Ourika road, Jnane Leila is another guesthouse surrounded by nature. People visit to recharge under the trees or a Berber tent before a dip in the pool.

Try wakeboarding

A fun and refreshing water sport, wakeboarding is a great way to combine physical exercise with leisure without getting too hot. Waky Marrakech offers top-notch facilities allowing thrill-seekers and beginners to test themselves safely. After exertion, the wakybar welcomes you for a relaxed lunch.
