Marrakech can get very hot, especially in summer. But that heat is part of the city’s rhythm. The mornings are golden, the afternoons invite you to slow down, and the evenings come alive with cool breezes and music on the rooftops.

If you’re staying in a riad or wellness retreat, you’ll find shady patios, fresh mint tea, cooling pools, and peaceful terraces where you can relax and recharge. the heat outside only makes the calm inside feel even more special.
