🌟

Who is Sol Oasis Marrakech best for? This resort shines for families with children, couples seeking a relaxed base to explore Morocco, and solo or group travellers who want the stress-free convenience of all inclusive without sacrificing culture. If you want to unwind by the pool, then venture into the Medina on the free shuttle, Sol Oasis delivers.

The hotel features 211 rooms across several categories, two pool areas, the OM Spa & hammam, a dedicated kids club (The Kidsdom), multiple dining options, a fitness centre, sports courts and nightly entertainment — all wrapped in a distinctly Moroccan architectural style that sets it apart from the generic resort experience.

Rooms & Accommodation at Sol Oasis Marrakech

Sol Oasis Marrakech offers four main room categories, all designed with warm Moroccan touches — think handcrafted tiles, rich textiles and terracotta tones. All 211 rooms include air conditioning, flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kettle, shower, hairdryer, safe and free Wi-Fi.

Room Type Best For Balcony Extra Space
Sol Room Couples & solo travellers
Sol Room with Balcony Couples wanting garden views ✔ Garden view
Family Room Families with 2 children ✔ Living area
XTRA Family Suite Larger families & honeymooners ✔ Terrace ✔ Separate lounge + coffee machine

Guest reviews consistently praise room cleanliness, with daily housekeeping receiving top marks. The Family Rooms have been particularly well-rated — offering a comfortable living area and bedroom space even if not fully partitioned. The XTRA Family Suite adds a terrace, extra toiletries and a coffee machine — ideal for those who want a touch more luxury.

"The hotel is absolutely beautiful. I actually thought we had booked a 5-star hotel as it was our honeymoon. The rooms are wonderful — we could not fault it at all."

— Verified guest, Booking.com

One honest note: some guests with smaller Sol Rooms have mentioned limited storage space and light sound insulation from the pool and entertainment areas. If you are a light sleeper, request a room away from the bar side at check-in — the reception team are known to be accommodating with such requests.

Food & Dining at Sol Oasis Marrakech

The dining experience is one of the strongest aspects of a stay at Sol Oasis Marrakech. The main buffet restaurant offers an impressive spread that goes well beyond the typical resort fare — and changes daily to avoid repetition.

Main Buffet Restaurant

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the main buffet restaurant. Expect a rotating selection of Moroccan classics — fragrant tagines, couscous, harira soup, fresh-baked khobz bread — alongside a strong international offering. Guest highlights include:

  • Build-your-own meal stations with fresh ingredients
  • Outdoor BBQ with fresh meat grilled to order
  • Live pasta station making fresh pasta on request
  • Pizza oven outdoors
  • A well-stocked dessert section

Safran Tapas Restaurant

For a change of pace, the on-site Safran Tapas restaurant offers Spanish-inspired tapas in an al fresco setting. Basic tapas options are typically included in the all inclusive, though premium dishes and alcoholic drinks may be charged separately — check your specific package terms.

🍽️

Drinks tip: Soft drinks, wine and cocktails flow freely. Beer lovers will find San Miguel on the all inclusive list. For an after-dinner drink, head to the indoor cocktail bar — multiple guests noted it produces better quality mixed drinks than the pool bar. Queues can build at the pool bar during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

Pools & Outdoor Spaces

The pools at Sol Oasis Marrakech are a genuine centrepiece of the resort. There are two pool areas:

🏊

Main Outdoor Pool

Large year-round pool surrounded by lush gardens, sun terrace and hammocks. Lifeguard on duty. Sun loungers available — never reported as scarce.

💦

Children's Splash Pool

A dedicated splash pool with slides and water jets for younger guests, positioned safely adjacent to the main pool.

🌿

Gardens & Terraces

Beautifully maintained Moroccan gardens with palm trees, tiled pathways and shaded seating areas throughout the property.

🔇

Indoor Pool (OM Spa)

A quiet indoor pool is available as part of the OM Spa — a tranquil retreat for adults seeking peace away from the main pool entertainment.

One seasonal note worth highlighting: in winter months (November–February), only part of the main outdoor pool catches full sunlight due to the garden layout. If you are visiting in cooler months, the indoor spa pool becomes an especially valuable retreat.

OM Spa & Wellness at Sol Oasis Marrakech

The OM Spa is one of the most talked-about features of Sol Oasis Marrakech. It offers a comprehensive menu of treatments inspired by Moroccan wellness traditions — all within a serene, beautifully designed space that feels a world away from the pool buzz outside.

Spa Treatments Available

  • Traditional Moroccan hammam (steam room & exfoliation ritual)
  • Aromatherapy massages
  • Facial treatments
  • Body wraps and scrubs
  • Quiet indoor pool for relaxation

Spa treatments are at an additional cost (not included in the standard all inclusive package), but the prices are considered very reasonable by guests — particularly compared to standalone spas in the Medina. The hammam experience is widely cited as a highlight of any stay at Sol Oasis.

"Great spa with massages. All the staff are incredibly attentive. Magnificent setting."

Activities & Evening Entertainment

Sol Oasis Marrakech operates a full daily activities programme — which is a significant reason why families and couples return year after year. The resort's animation team (known for their energy and warmth) drive the experience throughout the day and into the evening.

Daytime Activities

  • Beach volleyball
  • Two tennis courts
  • Pilates classes
  • Football
  • Ping pong
  • French boules (pétanque)
  • Archery
  • Basketball
  • Moroccan cooking workshops
  • Modern fitness room with cardio & weights equipment

Evening Entertainment

When the sun sets, Sol Oasis Marrakech truly comes alive. The nightly shows and events are consistently praised as a highlight — far above what guests expect from a 4-star resort. Regular evening programming includes:

  • Live music performances (local and international)
  • Themed cultural nights — including a beloved Moroccan Night
  • DJ sets and dance events
  • Theatrical shows by the resident animation team
🎭

Guest favourite: The Moroccan cultural night consistently receives the highest praise in guest reviews. It is an immersive celebration of local music, food and tradition — a memorable way to connect with Moroccan culture without leaving the resort.

Guided Excursions

The hotel organises guided excursions to the Medina, the souks, the Atlas Mountains and surrounding sights. These are bookable through the hotel concierge and are priced separately. The free shuttle to Marrakech city centre also makes independent exploration very accessible.

Families & The Kidsdom Club

Sol Oasis Marrakech is one of the best all inclusive resorts in Marrakech for families — and The Kidsdom club is a big part of why. Designed for children aged 5 to 10, this dedicated kids' zone offers:

  • Supervised storytelling and creative activities
  • Crafts, games and adventure play
  • Themed events and children's shows
  • A safe, staffed environment so parents can truly relax

Staff member Wahiba is mentioned by name in dozens of guest reviews — a testament to the genuine care the entertainment team puts into making children feel welcomed. Younger guests (under 5) have the splash pool and children's pool area to enjoy alongside their parents.

"Loads of activities to do during the day and a lovely kids club. Miss Wahiba was amazing and so were the other teachers."

Location & Getting Around

Sol Oasis Marrakech is located at Derb Ben Rahmoun Sghir, 40000 Marrakech — in a peaceful, semi-rural area on the outskirts of the city. The setting is genuinely tranquil: lush gardens, fresh air and a sense of escape from the bustle of the Medina.

Key Distances

  • Marrakech Medina (city centre): ~22 km / approx. 30 minutes by car
  • Marrakech-Menara Airport (RAK): ~13 km / approx. 20–25 minutes by car
  • Majorelle Gardens: ~12 km
  • Yves Saint Laurent Museum: ~11 km
  • Jemaa el-Fnaa Square: ~22 km
🚌

Free shuttle service: Sol Oasis Marrakech runs a complimentary scheduled shuttle service between the hotel and Marrakech city centre. Guests book their seat via the hotel app at check-in. The shuttle runs multiple times per day and takes approximately 25–30 minutes. This makes it genuinely easy to spend a day exploring the souks and Jemaa el-Fnaa square before returning to the resort.

The hotel's relative distance from the centre is often cited as a minor drawback by guests who want to explore the city every day. However, for travellers whose priority is resort relaxation punctuated by occasional Medina visits, it is ideal — and the shuttle makes the logistics simple. There is nothing to do in the immediate walking vicinity of the hotel, so independent local strolls are not really part of the Sol Oasis experience.
