The 550 room Aqua Mirage Club offers the perfect recipe for a family getaway to Marrakech. You get the benefits of an All Inclusive resort - a kids’ club, water park, spa, three outdoor pools, seven bars, sports facilities and entertainment programme. Plus, you are just outside the centre of one of Africa’s most popular cultural hubs - getting there is a breeze thanks to the hotel’s shuttle service.

Moroccan spas are renowned destinations for wellness. The spa at Aqua Mirage Club is no exception, with the highlight being 100% natural steam Hammam rituals. It also boasts single or double cabins with their own shower cubicles. You can also take your relaxation to the next level with massages and beauty treatments. Outside in the shade of the gardens you will find the Jacuzzi®.

The Aqua Parc is open from 10am to 6pm in the summer and remains open (with shorter hours) in the winter. There’s rides for everyone over five years old, including ones where parents and children can travel together on a family buoy. Anyone not keen on the slides might prefer to splash around in the wave pool.

The main restaurant offers varied cuisine made from fresh produce delivered daily. Over the course of the week there’s a programme of themed dinners including Moroccan, French, Italian, Mediterranean, pan-Asian and Mexican. There’s a separate buffet for the little guests, with child friendly foods and portion sizes. Staying for seven nights or more? You’ll get an included evening meal at the Kasbah, serving up the finest North African specialties. If you like getting your teeth into succulent meat, you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to dine at the Steak House.

Want to learn how to make Moroccan cuisine for yourself? You can join one of the hotel’s cooking classes. They also offer lessons in Arabic and belly dancing. If you prefer to sit back and watch others perform, there’s numerous events organised including karaoke and cabaret. Sporty guests can choose to get a workout through a game of tennis, basketball, badminton or volleyball.

All of the rooms include a furnished balcony or patio, mini bar and individual climate control. If you normally visit Europe, you won’t need to buy a different plug adaptor for your stay at Aqua Mirage Club as type E plug sockets are fitted here. Doubles feature a Queen size bed, plus a sofa bed. While interconnecting rooms are available for families.

One of the top attractions in Marrakech is Jardin Majorelle, a stunning botanical garden. If it’s fascinating architecture you’re after then you can’t miss the Bahia Palace. And as an Islamic country there are plenty of mosques. The largest, Koutoubia, is well worth a visit - its minaret is one of the main landmarks of the city. While at Jemaa El Fna square, it’s not your eyes that’ll guide you around but your nose - traders will be keen to sell you spices and street food. If you want to take your adventure to the next level you can book tours that will take you into the Sahara Desert or Atlas Mountains.
