About this venue

Where Moroccan history
meets total luxury.

Es Saadi is not simply a hotel — it is a destination. Occupying 8 hectares in the Hivernage district, it is the only major palace garden resort in Marrakech within 10 minutes' walk of Jemaa el-Fna. This proximity is its singular geographic advantage: guests can explore the souks and Medina on foot during their stay, then return to the grandeur of the estate for the celebration.

The resort is divided between the Hotel and the Palace — the Palace housing 92 suites and 10 unique villas overlooking a lagoon-style pool, 8 ksars (160m² rammed-earth houses), the renowned Dior Institut spa, and La Cour des Lions restaurant at the top floor with panoramic views. The estate also houses the Casino de Marrakech and the legendary Theatro nightclub.

The name guest register reads like a history of 20th-century culture: Josephine Baker, the Rolling Stones, Winston Churchill. Es Saadi has always attracted those who understand that true luxury is an atmosphere, not simply a thread count.

For weddings, this breadth of entertainment — dining shows, casino, nightclub, spa — means your guests have experiences available before and after the ceremony that no other single venue in Marrakech can offer.

Camille & Thomas
Paris · 200 guests
Garden ceremony · 3-day celebration
"Our guests are still talking about it. The ceremony in the gardens, the Dior spa day for the women, the casino and Theatro for the men — everyone had the experience of a lifetime. We didn't need to organise anything outside the estate. Everything was right there."
