Mandarin Oriental Marrakech: Easter for all the family with egg hunt, brunch and spa three hours from Paris

The Easter vacations are approaching and you’re feeling the need to soak up the sun. Just a three-hour flight from Paris, Marrakech offers the perfect spring break. For 2026, the Mandarin Oriental in the red city is preparing a family program designed down to the last detail.

This palace nestled in 20 hectares of olive groves offers much more than a simple hotel stay. From egg hunts in the gardens to creative workshops and festive brunches, there’s something for every member of the family.

Marrakech seduces with its soft light and mild spring temperatures. As a result, French families choose this destination to escape the dreariness without having to travel thousands of kilometers. The red city combines culture, nature and relaxation all in one place.

The Mandarin Oriental is just ten minutes from the historic center. And yet, as soon as you step through the doors, peace reigns between the centuries-old olive trees. Children run through the flower-filled avenues while parents enjoy this haven of peace.

“A luxury retreat where tranquility mingles with sophistication, in the heart of Marrakech’s gardens.”

The estate extends over a vast landscaped park ideal for morning strolls. What’s more, the private villas guarantee a rare degree of privacy for large families. Each villa has its own garden and, in some cases, a private swimming pool.
