A newer entry into Marrakech’s luxury scene, The Oberoi sprawls across 28 acres of olive and citrus orchards, about 15 minutes outside the city​. It offers a secluded five-star retreat with architecture inspired by historic Moroccan palaces. Many of the 84 rooms are actually private villa suites with their own pools and gardens​. An American expat blogger notes: “Five-star luxury amenities that truly pamper you… surrounded by palm and olive trees giving a feel of seclusion with beautiful mountain views”​. The Oberoi’s centerpiece is its grand reflecting pool and courtyard patterned after the Alhambra. It features several dining options (Moroccan, Indian, International), tennis courts, and a state-of-the-art spa housed in a carved Moroccan hammam building. Guests seeking tranquility will enjoy the Oberoi’s blend of modern luxury and Moroccan charm a short distance from the Medina hustle​. (Huge luxury spa with hammams and pools; private villas ideal for privacy.)
