Our family stay at Relais Esmeralda was simply exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Mohamed, whose kindness made our experience even more enjoyable. The Moroccan cuisine, lovingly prepared by a wonderful lady, was a highlight of our stay—every dish, especially the tagines, was an absolute delight. The setting of Relais Esmeralda is enchanting, combining tranquility, comfort, and authentic decor that invites relaxation. The suites are spacious, elegantly decorated, and provide all the comfort needed for a restful stay. We also loved the activities on offer, particularly the quad and buggy excursion to the Agafay desert, a truly memorable adventure. Located just 35 km from Marrakech, this peaceful haven is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Atlas Mountains. We were captivated by this magical place and can't wait to return.

Nous avons séjourné en famille au Relais Esmeralda, et ce fut une expérience inoubliable. DÚs notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par Mohamed, dont la gentillesse et le professionnalisme ont immédiatement fait de notre séjour un moment trÚs agréable. La dame qui prépare les repas est une véritable magicienne de la cuisine marocaine ; les tajines et autres délices qu'elle a concoctés étaient tout simplement exquis. Le cadre est exceptionnel, à la fois paisible et authentique, offrant une vue imprenable sur les sommets de l'Atlas. Les suites sont spacieuses, décorées avec goût dans le pur style marocain, et parfaites pour se détendre et profiter du calme environnant. Nous avons également adoré l'aventure en quad et buggy jusqu'au désert d'Agafay, une expérience unique et excitante. Le Relais Esmeralda est un véritable havre de paix à seulement 35 km de Marrakech, idéal pour se ressourcer et vivre des moments inoubliables en famille. Nous reviendrons sans hésitation !

There are many nice locations and activities to discover in close proximity. There was a lovely fire place at night . My main concern was the lack of communication with staff , the mediocre breakfast and there was a case of damaged window without a glass .

Great stay at Esmeralda, the family in charge was very helpful and their tagines are very tasty (even the cat loved the carrots therein!) Good choice of activities at reasonable prices (they don't advertise it but besides noisy quads and buggies, they also have e-bikes, highly recommended for a desert ride... if you're used to cycling)
