Just steps from the historic centre and bustling life of the city, Es Saadi is a genuine Garden of Eden for its guests. Imagine eight hectares of private gardens lush with palm trees, banana trees, olive trees, bougainvillea and delicate Marrakech roses... a peaceful scene interrupted only by the song of birds.
The Hotel Pool’s Palm Tree
In 1966, the Hotel swimming pool was designed around a centuries-old palm tree to avoid cutting it down. And that is how the Hotel’s legendary little “island” came to be. The tree has since become the emblem of the Resort and the inspiration for its logo.
Orange Blossoms & Roses
Walking paths weave through the heart of the Resort’s 8 hectares of luxuriant vegetation. Orange blossoms and roses fill the lanes with their colour and fragrance.
Olive Trees
The age-old olive tree is part of the Moroccan agricultural heritage. Several dozen can be found along the paths leading to the villas, set amongst the many plant species to be found. The olives are harvested in the gardens each year between mid-November and January.
Biodiversity
Since its creation, Es Saadi has always made the environment a priority. The early-morning song of birds awakens the Resort and its rich ecosystem of flowers, fruit-bearing plants and centuries-old trees.
Vegetable Garden
Many of the Resort’s products lovingly and artfully prepared in the kitchens are sourced from a family-run organic farm “Le Bled” in the Ourika Valley. The farmers’ 8-year-old son devotes much time and energy to growing fruit and vegetables in a small vegetable garden alongside one of the paths in the Resort.
Lagoon Swimming Pool
There are 2,400 sqm of swimming pools for guests to enjoy around the Palace, at the heart of the Resort. Relax on a sunbed or sofa in the shade of a parasol, while sipping a cocktail from the Island Bar in the middle of the pool.
The Spa Eucalyptus
The Palace Spa is built around this centuries-old tree, an invitation to calm the mind and soothe the soul.
Respect for nature,
an essential value
Before nature preservation became a widespread concern, Es Saadi was already protecting each tree in its gardens, laying the ground for a genuine green plan. Much of the fresh produce comes from a family-run organic farm, Le Bled, just a few kilometres from Marrakech.
The Resort is also equipped with solar panels and recycles its wastewater.
