The Riu Tikida Garden, a 4* hotel, sits at the southern end of the city’s Palmeraie region. The Palmeraie itself is home to the movers and shakers of Marrakech, calling the vast palm grove their home. Most of the luxury hotel complexes sit in this area.
A mere 20 minutes from the airport, you are transported to an oasis of calm amongst the hubub and bustle of the Medina.
