What if your Sunday in Marrakech looked like this? Brunch in the sun, a pool all afternoon, and nobody rushing you. That's what we went to try at the Palais Namaskar, on route de Bab Atlas.
The Palais Namaskar is a 5-star hotel. It faces the Atlas mountains and the Djebilet hills. But you don't need to stay there to enjoy it: the Sunday brunch is open to visitors.
The Sunday brunch in detail
It's an international brunch, served as a buffet. There are starters, hot dishes, savoury and sweet. We spotted Oualidia oysters, roast chicken and very fresh fruit. And plenty of other things.
What's included in the package:
- a welcome cocktail, with or without alcohol;
- unlimited water;
- access to the main pool from noon to 6 pm;
- background music.
The price: 1,088 MAD per person. Children under 12 pay 50% less. It's a budget, we won't pretend otherwise. But spread over a full day, brunch and pool included, it adds up differently from a simple meal.
The service, what we loved most
We experienced it ourselves: the team looked after us from start to finish. In a place of this standard, you expect it. It still has to hold up for six hours. Here, it did.
Hotel guests say the same. At the end of July 2026, Google showed 4.5 out of 5 from 922 reviews.
The hotel, if you stay the night
The Palais has 41 villas and suites. Each has a different design. They range from the Deluxe room to the Pool Villa, up to the large private “palaces”: Pool Palace, Water Palace, Mountain Palace.
The estate spreads across a 5-hectare garden. You'll find a spa (treatments, massages, rituals), a fitness and yoga room, and the main pool.
For food, there are several options on site. La Table, for local cuisine on the terrace. Le Namaskar, for fine dining. Then a lounge bar, and a rooftop, Le Nomad Bar, to round off the evening.
Romantic getaway, birthday, family weekend: the place ticks the boxes. Families can come to the brunch, the children's rate is designed for it.
Our tips
Arrive early to enjoy the pool from noon. Bring a swimsuit and sunscreen, and plan to stay. This brunch is meant to last the whole afternoon, not an hour.
Book ahead. The rate below dates from October 2026: check it when you book.
