Facilities

Pool & outdoors


You’re in inland Marrakech here, so it’s all about the pool scene rather than the beach – and Iberostar Waves Club Palmeraie doesn’t disappoint.

There are two main outdoor freshwater pools, including a dedicated adults-only pool for quieter swims, plus a lively main pool with activities and music. Both feature spacious sun terraces with loungers and parasols. The pools are typically heated from 1 November to 31 March, weather permitting, making this a strong winter-sun choice.

Kids are drawn to the colourful splash park, with tipping water bucket, jets and sprinklers – ideal for cooling off between Star Camp sessions. Pool towels are provided with a refundable deposit, so you can travel light.

Please note that facilities and heating are weather dependent and age/height restrictions may apply in the splash area.

Spa, sports & wellness


Active days are easy to come by here. The air-conditioned gym features cardio machines, free weights and fixed strength equipment for proper workouts, while the sports programme can include:

– Tennis, basketball, badminton & volleyball
– Table tennis & darts
– Athletics-style sessions and dance classes

Entertainment runs most of the year with organised daytime activities – from arts and crafts to small team games and family challenges – and evening shows such as live music, quizzes, karaoke, mini-disco and professional performances. Programme and dates vary seasonally (often 22 Dec–01 Sep and 01 Sep–21 Dec with different schedules).

For wind-down time, head to the spa, where you’ll find a Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (18+; extra charges apply), plus an on-site hairdresser for holiday cuts and styling.

Practical touches include a 24-hour reception, concierge-style assistance, currency exchange, luggage storage and a shuttle bus service to the Medina.
