‘I found an exotic winter sun holiday less than four hours away – it’s still hot in November’


There’s a lush oasis of calm to be found just outside lively Marrakech, as our writer discovered when she visited the Fairmont Royal Palm hotel in Morocco this autumn

With the scent of orange blossom in the air, this desert oasis is the definition of luxury, from the high ceilings of the striking lobby and the palm tree-embellished pool to the hammam-inspired spa and the stunning golf course. We experienced a private hammam, a 60-minute ritual of pure bliss including a hair wash, a scalp massage and an intense body scrub using heavenly products from Natura Bissé and local beauty brand marocMaroc.
