Marrakech, Morocco · Fairmont · High Luxury
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech occupies 231 hectares on the Route d'Amizmiz southwest of the city, centred on an 18-hole championship course designed by Cabell B. Robinson — the American architect responsible for Amelkis and Golf Les Dunes, who built half his career across Morocco and Spain. The estate was originally developed by New Mauritius Hotels before Fairmont took over in 2017, threading its 134 villa-style suites through centuries-old olive groves below the High Atlas.

About Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech
- The 231-hectare estate is larger than Monaco — one of the biggest private resort footprints in Morocco — yet accommodates only 134 suites, a ratio that reflects a deliberate policy of density far below what the land could support.
- Golf course architect Cabell B. Robinson, based in southern Spain, designed the Royal Palm course as part of a career that has produced more layouts in Morocco than almost any other international architect, making the fairways here part of a distinctive Moroccan-Spanish golfing corridor.
- Entry-level rooms start at 775 sq ft (72 m²).
History
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech opened in 2016 as a private golf and spa retreat at the Royal Palm resort estate south of Marrakech, Morocco. The property is set within a 231-acre palm grove and features a 18-hole golf course designed by Cabell Robinson, one of only a handful of golf courses in the region. The 134 villa-style suites offer private pools and Moroccan-inspired architectural details. The resort is positioned as one of Morocco's most exclusive retreats, offering an intimate alternative to the brand's larger urban properties.
The setting
Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech unfolds across 231 hectares at Kilometre 12 on the Route d'Amizmiz, the southwest road tracing the High Atlas foothills toward the Ourika valley, 12 kilometres from the ancient medina. The resort is built around an 18-hole championship course designed by Cabell B. Robinson whose fairways thread through palm groves and centuries-old olive trees below snow-capped peaks. The Saadian Tombs, the 16th-century royal necropolis whose rediscovery in 1917 made them one of Morocco's most celebrated historical sites, are 36 minutes by car; the Koutoubia Mosque 39 minutes; and Jemaa el-Fnaa 41 minutes away—an address that prizes estate-scale privacy and Atlas grandeur over urban immediacy.
