Spread across 15 acres at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, Selman Marrakech offers a green oasis where regal Arabian horses roam the land. The beautiful thoroughbreds inspired the elegant Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel, as the owners are avid equestrians (and even have a breeding program on the property).
Visit the hotel’s stable, get a dressage lesson, watch the prize-winning stallions perform during breakfast, arrange a private show or even have a photo shoot with them.
One of the best way to see the steeds is during Selman Marrakech’s Sunday brunch. The spread alone warrants a reservation, with verrines, tagines, oysters and much more. But some days the morning meal comes with an impressive hour-long horse show.
Along with the stunning stallions, the hotel lures you in with an Espace Vitalité Chenot spa, dazzling design and a picturesque pool.
- The
262-foot-long lap pool is stunning. You will want to carve out time to linger
poolside and snap some memorable selfies.
- With
its own two heated outdoor pools, the Orient-influenced Espace Vitalité Chenot spa
is a secluded spot on the property. Traditional treatments are available, but
the brand is known for its Chenot method, a unique wellness approach that focuses
on biontology, which flushes out toxins from the body to promote longevity.
- Jacques
Garcia did the sumptuous design, from the large sunken space (the focal point
of the hotel), to the stables and spa. The public spaces are grand, while the
accommodations feel closed off and intimate.
- The
Sunday brunch at Le Pavillon is a remarkable experience. You’ll be treated to a
live horse show as well as multiple buffet tables, a lobster grill and decadent
desserts.
- The
beautiful Arabian horses undoubtedly make this hotel stand out from the rest.
Take advantage of the many opportunities to see and interact with the
impressive creatures.
- The Marrakech
hotel has an onsite kids club with games, crafts and more. But the highlight is
the stallion-related activities, including horse-drawn carriage rides and
stable visits.
- The
Selman is just outside Marrakech, granting you easy access to the city without
giving up the seclusion and privacy that makes you feel miles away.
- If
you’d rather not take a dip in the main pool, pass through the spa to discover
smaller swimming holes in a more natural setting. This is the respite for those
that want more privacy.
- The 55 rooms and
suites and five villas all have an Arab-Moorish aesthetic with details like
zellige mosaic tiles, curved furniture and latticework, but feel very modern.
Each has its own twist and design.
- All accommodations come
with a terrace that overlooks the pool or the gardens as well as a luxe black-and-white-mosaic-accented
soaking tub. Situated below a small Arabic-style window that opens into the
main room, the baths feel like an oasis.
- Featuring a modern gray
color palette and bathed in natural light, the suites have a little more space
to make yourself at home; each has a living room, a dining area and a furnished
terrace. You also can choose from a garden or pool view.
- The most luxurious
accommodations are the palatial villas. With more than 6,200 square feet of
space, each boasts its own pool, garden, butler service and car for you to use.
- Le Selman carries
a Biolight menu designed to highlight the taste and nutrients in the food. Cooks
have been trained in the principles of Henri Chenot to complement the spa’s
unique approach to wellness.
- Assyl
has a distinctive focus on Moroccan cuisine served in a dining room reminiscent
of an Ottoman palace. Enjoy an à la carte menu while being entertained by
Andalusian musicians and a tasteful, Oriental dance show.
- Marrakech
provides ample sunshine throughout the year, so have an alfresco lunch at Le
Pavillon. The menu blends Mediterranean dishes with locally sourced produce,
meats, fish and seafood.
- Slip
into a plush purple chair in the cozy Le Bar Selman for cocktails and
electro-lounge tunes from a resident DJ.
