Watersports:
Nearby Water Park (30 mins) with water slides, wave machines and Pirate ships for kids. Great fun for all the family, restaurants and full facilities.
Crystal clear lakes for swimming, jet ski hire, water skiing and peddle boats. 30 mins from villa, lush gardens and restaurants.
La Plage Rouge water centre, with its own 'beach' and massive wave making pool, makes you feel like you're at the beach.
Skiing:
If you want to ski in Africa from December to April, then take a day trip to Oukaimden. Oukaimeden lies just south of Marrakech in the High Atlas Mountains. To get to the ski resort, you drive through the Ourika valley which spreads between the first foothills of the Atlas Mountains. Despite it being so close to Marrakech, this beautiful lush green valley is definitely one of the best preserved valleys in Morocco. Oukaimeden is an easy day trip and will cost you about e40 to get to by taxi. Enjoy good downhill skiing with ski hire and full lift facilities. The resort is a 1 hour drive from the villa through breathtaking mountain scenery, passing through many mountain villages selling all manner of trinkets and crafts. It is possible to set off in the morning, ski all day and have a typical Moroccan lunch at one of the mountain top restaurants and be back at the villa for sun-bathing poolside, looking back at the panoramic views of the mountains you have been skiing down.
Sightseeing and Excursions - :
Centre of Marrakech from the villa is a 20 min drive down one straight road. There you will find the old-town and the Medina with its souks and the magical Djemaa el Fna square. which owes little of its fame to its own beauty, but to the continuous day and night life. During most of the days, performers of every kind put up their shows, continuing until the food stalls start to move in. From the Jemaa there are several entries to the fantastic souks, and for anyone who needs to relax for a while, there are plenty of cafés around the Jemaa, where the main attraction is looking at the ongoing activities. Jemaa el-Fna owes most of its fame to the large number of spectacles going on all around all the time.The food stalls take over the Jemaa as soon as the orange juice sellers have packed up and gone home. The food is prepares from fresh on the spot, and you can choose between fish, meat or vegetable dishes. Alternatively there is quad biking, lakes, cookery, horseback riding.
Golf:
Ideally situated for the 3 major and prestigious golf clubs, Palmeraie, Royal (frequented by the King) and Amelkis.
The villa is within 20mins of all. The first and the oldest, the Royal golf, built in 1920 and opened in 1923, has associated itself with the Palmeraie Golf Palace, a luxury hotel complex that has the distinction of having been built in a magical palm grove. This excellent idea was used again by the Amelkis Golf courses, an integrated complex with luxurious villas and a top class hotel, Amanjena. In winter, three hours from cloudy European skies, golfers can enjoy their sport in the midst of palm groves, with a fairy tale view of snow-capped Atlas.Most of the hotels of the red city offer the possibility to play on those three courses.Relax after in the adjoining spas and restaurants
