Palais Namaskar

Palais Namaskar sits at the edge of the Palmeraie, twenty minutes from the Marrakech Medina, its grounds encompassing more than five acres of ornamental lakes that give the property a quality of water architecture rare even among Morocco's palace hotels. Forty-one rooms, suites, villas and palaces compose the accommodation, the majority equipped with a private pool or plunge pool, the pool villas enclosed by jasmine or orange trees that add fragrance to the privacy. Suites feature walls of glass opening onto the ornamental pools, the boundary between interior and exterior dissolved by design at the hour when the light on the water justifies leaving the view unobstructed. The most expansive option, the palace configurations, provide the spatial logic of an independent residence. Atlas Mountain views are available from the upper rooms, the peaks framing the Palmeraie landscape at the horizon. A full-service spa operates with yoga classes, personal training, and a range of treatments organized around both the Moroccan tradition and the property's holistic orientation. Multiple restaurants serve different culinary registers: French cuisine, Thai food, and daytime dining options give guests the variety of a destination hotel within the single property. Palais Namaskar is organized around water in a way that makes it distinctive even in a city of courtyard pools: the ornamental lakes are not amenities but the spatial grammar of the whole estate.
