A Day Pass is one of the best ideas for a stay in Marrakech: for a single fee, you get access to the pool, sun loungers and often lunch and the spa of a luxury hotel, without having to stay there. It's perfect from HaltaKech: you sleep peacefully across from the station, and treat yourself to a five-star escape for the day.
How does a Day Pass work?
Packages vary from one property to another, but generally include pool access, a lounger and towel, often lunch, and sometimes a spa treatment or wellness credit. A few useful pointers:
- Booking is recommended in advance (spots are limited, especially at weekends and in high season).
- An ID may be requested on arrival.
- Prices are per person, in dirhams (DH). They are indicative and to be confirmed when booking.
- Arrive for lunch and stay for the afternoon — the best value for your time.
Our favourites
Palais Ronsard — romantic elegance
A refined, photogenic setting, very popular for a day for two. The Classic Day Pass gives pool access from 11am, with loungers, towels, a refined three-course lunch and a (non-alcoholic) cocktail. The Serenity package adds a 45-minute relaxing spa massage. From around 1,250 DH per person.
A HaltaKech favourite. Palais Ronsard is one of the spots we love recommending to our guests for a cocoon day, just minutes from the suites.
Es Saadi Marrakech Resort — the grand classic
A huge resort with gardens, several pools, a spa and a casino. The "Lagon" Day Pass includes access to the Lagon pool and lunch from around 950 DH; a premium package (around 1,200 DH) adds the heated indoor spa pool, wellness activities and a treatment of your choice (massage, facial or hammam). Ideal for a full relaxation day.
A HaltaKech favourite. Es Saadi is a safe bet to combine pool, spa and fine dining in a spectacular setting.
Al Kamar (Agafay desert) — the day pass out of time
Craving a total change of scene? Al Kamar camp, in the Agafay desert, also offers a day pass: an infinity pool facing the dunes, loungers, lunch and sunset over the mountains. About 45 minutes from Marrakech, for a truly timeless day.
