You arrive in Marrakech, the ochre city at the foot of the Atlas, and step through the doors of Riu Tikida Palmeraie. The air carries the scents of this imperial city. Here, in the Palmeraie's tranquility, relaxation mode switches on instantly. The 350 recently renovated, spacious and bright rooms await you. And most importantly, you settle into a property where everything is designed so you can enjoy yourself freely, with all-inclusive terms guaranteeing it.

Arrival

Located 9 kilometers from Marrakech-Ménara airport, the hotel enjoys a strategic location. The Palmeraie envelops you in greenery and creates an immediate oasis of calm where you come to unwind. The 350 rooms come in two styles: Standard Double Rooms (29 m²) and One-Bedroom Suites (48 m²). All feature furnished terraces or balconies, air conditioning, WiFi, flat-screen television, safe and mini-fridge. Bathrooms offer shower and hairdryer. Suites upgrade to a separate bathtub and shower. Rooms adapted for mobility-impaired guests are available upon request. Reception operates 24 hours daily. A shuttle to downtown runs several times daily, ideal for exploring Jemaa el-Fna Square (6 km), the Koutoubia Mosque, Majorelle Garden (6 km), or the Yves Saint Laurent Museum (6 km). Outdoor parking, currency exchange and ATM round out essential services.

Dining, all included

The all-inclusive formula covers breakfast, lunch and dinner served buffet-style at the main restaurant « Le Tikida », with live cooking stations. Twice weekly, themed buffets immerse you in other culinary worlds. By the pool, « La Trattoria » serves a late continental breakfast from 10:30 am to 12 pm and lunch with live show-cooking. Evening brings two specialty restaurants. « El Nakheel » immerses you in authentic Moroccan flavors, while « La Trattoria » transforms into an excellent Italian restaurant. Three bars serve your refreshments: « Le Majorelle » at the lobby, the « Pool Bar » by the pool (weather permitting), and Lounge Bar « La Scène » extending until midnight with stage and dance floor. Local and imported beverages, alcoholic or not, are included until midnight. We invite you to verify all-inclusive details directly with Riu, as inclusions may vary by season and room type.

Days by the water

Three pools welcome you: two outdoor (one for children) and one indoor heated in winter. A solarium furnished with loungers and umbrellas creates ideal conditions for relaxation. Pool towels are provided. For the active, the hotel offers two clay tennis courts and a multi-sport field. The fitness room (adults 18+) completes the sports offering. The RiuFit program delivers collective fitness activities throughout the day. An extensive program of international and French-language entertainment runs daily and nightly: sports event broadcasts, concerts and shows, tournaments, olympiads, contests and themed nights with live music. RiuArt workshop, golf course and access to Tikida Spa (hammam, sauna, treatments and massages) are available for an additional fee. Billiards also involves a surcharge.

Evening vibes

After dinner, Lounge Bar « La Scène » becomes the heartbeat of the night with its dance floor and live entertainment. Themed evenings punctuate the week, creating festive energy for those seeking action. For quieter evenings, terraces and the lobby bar offer more subdued spaces to sip an imported drink or discover a local cocktail.

Who is it for?

This property welcomes families with ease. The RiuLand program supervises children ages 4 to 12 with international animators, creative workshops, games and heated pool. You can also arrange childcare services (additional cost). Riu Tikida perfectly suits couples seeking relaxation in a culturally rich destination, as well as seniors who appreciate hassle-free all-inclusive comfort. Access to the medina and Marrakech's prestigious gardens transforms every stay into cultural immersion.
