Club Med Marrakech le Riad
Updated 1 July 2026
- Toddler
- Kid
- Teen
The easiest way to do Marrakech with children: a proper all-inclusive village ten minutes from the medina, where the mornings are for the pool and the mini club and the afternoons for a camel ride or a trip into the souks. The Mini Club Med for four to ten year olds is included, the food is generous and varied, and the whole place is walled, calm and safe for kids to roam.
Our verdict
The stress-free pick for a first family trip to Marrakech, with a free kids club, safe grounds and the medina a shuttle ride away.
The rooms
A cluster of low ochre riads set in palm gardens on the edge of the Palmeraie, with rooms that open onto planted courtyards and pools. Family rooms and connecting doubles sleep four comfortably, and the all-inclusive package folds meals, drinks and the kids clubs into one price so there are no surprises at checkout. Cots are free on request.

Family things to do nearby
Camel ride in the Palmeraie
Short, gentle camel treks through the palm groves start minutes from the resort, an easy first taste of Morocco for little ones.
Jemaa el-Fna by shuttle
The free shuttle drops you at the great square, where kids gawp at snake charmers and storytellers before a fresh orange juice.
Archery and tennis
The included sports programme keeps older kids and teens busy between pool sessions, with coaches and gear provided.
Ourika valley day trip
An hour into the Atlas foothills brings cool rivers, Berber villages and easy waterfalls, a welcome break from the heat.
Is it right for your kids?
Baby
0 to 1 yr
Babies are welcome and cots are free, but the dedicated Baby Club costs extra and has limited places, so it suits families happy to keep little ones alongside them.
Toddler
1 to 3 yrs
The Petit Club Med for two and three year olds runs at extra cost, and the shallow pool steps and shaded gardens work well for wobbly walkers.
Kid
4 to 11 yrs
This age gets the most: the free Mini Club, archery, tennis and pool games fill the day, with a camel ride or the medina in the afternoon.
Teen
12 yrs and up
Teens have a Junior Club, sports and enough freedom in the safe grounds, though the Palmeraie setting is quieter than a beach resort at night.

Parents also ask
Is the kids club really included?
Yes, the Mini Club Med for four to ten year olds and the Junior Club for teens are part of the all-inclusive price. Only the Baby and Petit Club for under fours cost extra and should be booked ahead.
How do we get into the medina?
There is a free scheduled shuttle to Jemaa el-Fna a few times a day, and taxis are cheap and quick if you prefer to set your own timing.
Is it too hot in summer?
July and August often top 40C, so plan pool time early and late and keep midday for shade and the club. Spring and autumn are far more comfortable for young children.
