We are fully involved in the field of 'weddings 2018' . And what is associated with a wedding ? A Bridal shower in style . Grab the bride, your group of besties and get ready for a memorable experience.
One of your best friends is getting married. And the only thing that matters now is to unite the forever group and prepare a weekend between cottons for the future matchmaker.
For it, We set course for Marrakech. The idea is to enjoy a few days of rest, luxury and some hustle and bustle in the fashionable destination.
Majorelle Gardens
WHERE DO WE SLEEP?
Here things start to get complicated. You can choose between dreamlike riads or grand hotels like La Mamounia , the Mandarin Oriental or La Sultana . Inside or outside the Medina? Two rooms or one for all? First of all, you have to think that at least you are going to be a group of five, so getting a room for all of you is going to be almost impossible. Just one bathroom? Not joking. What you really want is to be together.
As well, we have found the perfect place . It does not appear in travel guides, nor in the top ten of accommodation. How has he become famous then? by Instagram , that network that knows everything and sees everything.
We took a look at it when we saw that it paraded from stars of the screen to the most influential travel bloggers. Is named The Maison Marrakesh , managed by Nicole Francesa Manfron . Nicole purchased the property a few years ago and decided to create the perfect traveler's haven there, that is, an Eden within the hustle and bustle of the city.
Pool of La Maison Marrakech
It has capacity for six guests , three rooms with bathroom included, kitchen, swimming pool and -oh, yes- a photo roof terrace where there are no shortage of hammocks for sunbathing, an outdoor fireplace for the cooler nights and the possibility of setting up a bed under the stars on sunny days. hot.
We also have to tell you that you will get some crazy desire to take everything you see there. Nicole , a designer by profession, she has managed to combine her passion for traveling and local crafts to give La Maison a unique character and interior design. Ready for the first photo session?
DAY 1
Once found the perfect accommodation , it's time to start planning the days you spend in the city. Once landed it's time to hit the city. Being housed in the Medina, it is best to head for the **most vibrant square we know: Jemaa el Fna **.
Locals coming and going, snake charmers, street vendors... Endless stimulation. After a first contact, it is time to enter the depths of the Medina and end up in the Spice Square.
We are fully in "wedding 2018" territory
there, well in nomadic or in the Cafe des Epices , you can enjoy local cuisine with a twist and with two of the most popular terraces in the city. Indeed, they don't serve alcohol , so you will have to wait to have the first glass of champagne.
Back at the riad, it's time to relax a bit and get ready for the first night. Is there nightlife in Marrakesh? Yes, and a lot.
As we want to blend in with the environment, we are going to book in Le Comptoir Darna . Located in an old style mansion Art nouveau treasure under his roof, a restaurant, club and patio straight out of a Moroccan fairy tale.
The non-stop of Marrakech
Food from here and there, a belly dance show, smoking sishas and a club that opens every Friday and Saturday with a mix of international DJs, oriental dancers and traditional musicians, all in perfect harmony and conviviality so that the festive spirit take over you.
DAY 2
You know what they say: "Nights of debauchery, mornings of..." relax, we say . A shower, a breakfast to gain strength and we head to the HOTEL par excellence a: The Mamounia . It opens its doors for anyone who wants to visit it. Whether eating in one of its restaurants, shopping in its boutiques or getting enough of the sweets of Pierre Herme , the best pastry chef in the world who recently opened his shop inside the hotel.
But we want it all and La Mamounia never disappoints. So it is best to book your day pass 'season getaway'. For about 1500 dirhams per person, you can enjoy a day ten. starting with a swim in its pools surrounded by palm trees , followed by a delicious meal at L'Italian (pasta, fish and vegetables from their own garden) or ** Le Français **, to end with a treatment in the delicious spa. massage or a Hammam Evasion ? We leave it your choice.
Leaving there renewed and happy, it is time to take the opportunity to catch the latest trends in decoration and fashion with a bit of shopping , whether in stalls in the Medina (Berber lipstick, khol, pashminas or crockery) or in one of the boutiques on the fashionable street, Give the Bacha .
Once loaded with bags, return to La Maison and get ready for dinner. The second night we will spend in Bo Zin , the place to be of Moroccan nightlife and where the biggest parties in the city are held. A sophisticated garden, DJs and lots of champagne. And tomorrow will be another day.
Good vibes at Bô Zin
