Item Description

A royal welcome awaits you and a guest in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Marrakech!  Your once-in-a-life trip begins with a five-day, four-night stay at the exquisite Royal Mansour Palace Hotel (royalmansour.com).  Developed personally by His Majesty King Muhammed VI, the Royal Mansour is a triumph of Moroccan craftsmanship and hospitality. The hotel is entirely handmade; each lamp, floor, door, curtain, and chandelier has been hand crafted, using the most decadent of materials. It is literally a beauty to behold, and has been named the most luxurious hotel in all of Africa.

The main palace of the hotel is surrounded by a labyrinth of medina alleyways and gardens, home to 53 private villas. Your private three-story villa has a traditional Moroccan courtyard,  a salon and dining area on the ground floor, a luxurious bedroom suite, bathroom and dressing area on the first floor, and a top floor featuring a tented roof with your own private heated swimming pool.

The Royal Mansour Palace Hotel has three restaurants under the direction of Yannick Alleno, the 3 Star Michelin chef from Paris. It also has an exceptional spa with a large indoor heated pool, as well as fabulous sports and beauty facilities, including Chanel beauty and a French hair salon.

The lucky winner will enjoy diplomatic airport arrival, swift customs assistance, luxury airport transfers and a daily continental breakfast.

Whilst in Marrakech, you will enjoy the award-winning concierge services of Boutique Souk. In addition to preparing a bespoke itinerary for you, Boutique Souk is including a complimentary private guided tour of the souks and the cultural highlights of the ancient medina. A highlight will be a 4x4 desert adventure excursion out of the city to enjoy a private lunch for two in a traditional berber tent!

Among your unforgettable experiences in Marrakech will be a personally guided tour of Yves Saint Laurent’s famed Majorelle Gardens, and a private dinner for two at Dar El Hanch, Yves Saint Laurent’s former private villa in Marrakech.

Unlike any other, this fantasy Moroccan vacation will provide a lifetime of unforgettable memories and experiences!

Item Special Note

To stay at Royal Mansour is to experience hospitality at its finest; its 500 expert staff members offer an unprecedented level of service and personal attention in the most discreet way while using the underground tunnels covering the entire property.
