Beautifully boutique Marrakech stay beside a lush palm grove

• Boutique tranquillity: Just north of the Tensift River, where the hustle and bustle of Marrakech slows down, you’ll find Caravan Serai at the edge of an expansive palm grove. Flowering plants tumble over earthy stone walls, and Arabian lamps glow in the archways. In the central courtyard, a beautiful swimming pool takes pride of place, glittering like gemstone in the high Moroccan sun. Take the plunge, lounge with a book, or retire to your uniquely boutique suite.

• Wellness oasis: The mindfully inclined might step out into the lush garden for a yoga class, where Vinyasa, Hatha and other yoga types are taught communally or in specialised 1-1 classes. For some more effortless self-pampering, book in for a cleansing hammam ritual in the traditional Moroccan bath, a nourishing, full-body massage or a beauty treatment (fees may apply for treatments and classes).

• Authentic Moroccan flavour: Settle into the rustic, cosy interior of your hotel’s restaurant as the heavenly scents of Moroccan cooking waft over from the kitchen. Savour tender, slow-cooked meat tagines, hearty spiced soups, fresh vegetables and saffron-infused dishes. Round it off with a crisp pastilla au lait (a Moroccan sweet), or if you crave something more European, there’s also a fine French menu with the likes of boeuf au poivre, salade niçoise and crème brûlée.
