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.

If you want your holiday luxury to start the minute you arrive at the airport, AspirePlus Lounge is where you need to be.
If your ticket doesn’t come with inclusive lounge access, travellers are able to add the lounge experience to their trip with prices starting at £18.99 for the lounge and £34.99 for the opulent AspirePlus.
At Newcastle, where seating space is a rare commodity, the Aspire Lounges offer a comfy seat and complimentary food and alcohol.
Children are allowed in the lounge but if you want that extra level of zen luxury, the AspirePlus is adult only and boasts private media pods, a Spey whisky bar and airside views.
