Our Venue
Barceló Palmeraie
The 5-star Barceló Palmeraie Oasis Resort Hotel stands majestically in the heart of the Palm Grove of Marrakesh, an extensive oasis full of palm trees that extends over more than six thousand hectares, being one of the most emblematic areas of this former imperial city in western Morocco. With centuries of history and great ecological and landscape value, the Palm Grove has traditionally been a source of wealth for the region, providing dates and helping to regulate the climate with its vegetation.
