After the hustle & bustle of the Medina, we checked into l’Oliveraie de l’Atlas. From the moment we arrived, we wished we had chosen to stay here for our entire time in Marrakech! The property is stunning, but what truly stood out was the warm and impeccable welcome from Nicolas and his team. One of the first things they told us was, “Consider this place your home.” And it really did feel that way. Although the estate features several villas and riads, it never once felt crowded. The grounds are vast, with breathtaking gardens and three beautiful pools, creating an atmosphere of pure relaxation. Everywhere you look, the attention to detail is evident. Whether you prefer lounging in the sun, resting in the shade, unwinding by the pool, strolling through the gardens, or enjoying the view of endless olive groves from your balcony, you’ll easily find your own corner of paradise. The riads and rooms are striking, showcasing charming traditional architecture. Nicolas, the owner, is truly exceptional—his care and dedication made us feel like cherished friends rather than guests. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every experience, from excursions to special requests, is arranged with trusted providers so you can simply enjoy. And there’s still so much more to mention: the food was delicious, the spa treatments were heavenly, and the staff couldn’t have been more professional and kind. We’ll definitely be returning—if for no other reason than to visit Lisa, Nicolas’ delightful dog, whom we already miss!

I chose L' Oliveraie de atlas due to the location of the hotel being outside of Marrakesh ( 30 mins outside of Marrakesh by car ). Located among olive and orange trees and amazing gardens, L' Oliveraie de atlas consists of one main building with the restaurant with a handful of rooms. Within the grounds there are three amazing riads that house bedrooms and suites with various pools . Due to travelling around Morocco, I ended up staying in four different rooms, all absolutely stunning with no issues. I found this a very quiet and relaxing environment to be in . The hotel was ideal to also come back to after several days away touring in Morocco. The food was outstanding, the breakfast buffet was typical continental moroccan, better than what I had while I was away in other hotels across Morocco. The coffee is Nespresso , so not bad coffee at all for a serious coffee drinker! They supply a taxi service to and from the centre of Marrakesh twice a day should you need it , however I did not need this at the time. The hotel also provides taxis to the city centre or the airport at discount. Having got a quote for £ 60.00 from the airport to L'Oliveraie de atlas , they provided a taxi for €25.00 The hotel provides a spa which I took advantage of, this I fully recommend, one of the best massage for several years. ( If you do have spa , this is located in Riad jardin). The staff were friendly and could not do enough to help you. It was very friendly , family atmosphere and i'm looking forward to going back soon .

Moaning from other tourists because they haven't read the hotel descriptions!!!!!!!

Relaxed Very beautiful Delicious food

We booked the ‘all inclusive’ option but then were told we could only eat at set times - dinner that night and breakfast and lunch the next day, but we had arrived not having had lunch that day, and there was no option to have a light snack. It resulted in a discussion about the difference between full board and all inclusive. I was made to feel like I was being difficult. I think the hotel needs to decide if it can offer ‘all inclusive’ as having stayed in all inclusive hotels before this place did not feel like it was set up for it. Other than this incident at the beginning of our stay, we had a lovely stay in the hotel.

The resort was clean and well maintained. It had 3 swimming pools, therefore it never got crowded, at one time we had the pool to ourselves. One of the pool is small it’s good for the little ones. The food menu was a good variety (salmon fish was delicious) if you don’t like some of the ingredients in the dish they happily replace with another item. Breakfast was same everyday, however wide range of selection, therefore you have different things every day. The rooms are big with balcony. The staff are friendly and they don’t be on your face, only if you request something. So peaceful connected with nature. I would definitely recommend half board as there is no shops nearby only land surrounding area. They provide a free taxi that goes to the town everyday 9.30am and 10.30am 30mins and picks you up 16.30 and 18.30 in the evening from cyber park which has free internet service which was very helpful if you have no access to data. The driver are on time. Separate towels are provided for swimming. Good internet service at the resort. We stayed 6 days and that was just right for our budget and chill out away from the city. after that we booked 4 days to stay in the centre To meet our budget.

I liked everything about the property. Just few recommendations. There was no pray mat for Muslim guest ( good thing I carry a pocket one) Free taxi maybe late afternoon. Chips were under cooked every time No kettle in the bedroom

Maroccan staff was super friendly We loved the garden , the swimming pool, the food, the fruit trees , the cats , the coffee !!

French manager very very rude for the 5 minutes he talked to me , rude and not helpful at all !! I avoided him like the plague!! Two dogs , a puppy and a very protective mother , roaming the grounds , a bit intimidating if you are not comfortable with dogs! Not sure why they would leave them unsupervised, suspecting they belonged to the rude French manager.

Lunch and dinner food , location, views , service . We had a heatwave so extra bonus . The pools although cold but it is March one was dirty . Gardens are beautiful, waitors are so good but seem to work long hours and run off there feet . Jacuzzi outside wasn't on but there is a drought! Small fridge in room , bonus . We were in Z9 . They sell alcohol even in Ramadan but alot cheaper in Marrakesh. Carfour didn't sell alcohol but Champion market had large selection and lovely whites for under £5 . We like the bottle La Cuvee du Terroir . You must show him your passport and you can buy as much as you want . Car is essential, once you are out of Marrakesh it's a doddle but not for the faint hearted in Marrakesh. Jezzz . !!

Breakfast buffet could be better . Usual Continental which no good for people on keto / carnivore. Flys on the breakfast . No smart TV . Wifi kept dropping out . No dressing gowns and towels were like cardboard. Room smelt funny and very dark as us girls love light to get ready in . The riad area we stayed in was quite until prayers around 5 am then cockerels start , then sparrows start and I mean 20 or more inside the riad so very noisy.

The most charming garden ♥️ our kids were running and playing between the citrus trees and roses, we had the most amazing time, we felt so welcomed. The rooms were beautiful, warm floors in the bathrooms, hot water, large bath tubes, comfortable beds. Stuff very helpful and competent. We really liked the breakfast and the restaurant- all compliments to the chiefs and all the stuff. The place offers trips and massage.. We had a lovely time🥰

Its behind the town, 20 min drive. Stuff offers shuttle once a day, taxi is 150-200 dirham. Pool was still cold in april.

Beautifully kept gardens and lovely swimming pool. Lovely room in pretty Riad. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Great for chilling but plenty to do in nearby Marrakech which is about 25mins drive. The hotel have a free shuttle service but if the times don’t suit then they will organise a taxi.

Beautiful gardens and surroundings. Staff were fab and very helpful. Rooms were big and beds were comfortable. This hotel was so quiet it was more like a retreat than a hotel.

Very little to criticise as this hotel was wonderful.

Outstanding dance teacher for kids mini disco, a real asset to the hotel Food is very good quality, varied selection Hotel is very nicely designed

Slow maintenance on room issues (toilet continuously running, shower handle missing), reception apathetic about them had to go three times for same problems No telephone in the rooms Coffee very poor quality
