Marrakesh's exclusive Le Palais Rhoul is offering a romantic getaway package that eclipses (supposedly) exclusive dinner reservations at hotspots like Nobu or Tao. Boutique Souk, a specialized travel service in Morocco, has designed a Moroccan love package at the hotel in their six luxury tents set up in their backyard at Palace Gardens (there are proper rooms here too.)

For just £1260 or roughly $1,866.90, they're offering three nights of pampered tent love for couples vying for some authentic lux. Included in the package is a hamman spa experience where you lay on hot tiles and your massage therapist exfoliates you with Moroccan black soap and someone else rubs you down with Argan oils.

Take advantage of that 24-hour "tent service"(get it, like, room service) with yummy plates of tajines and organic salads to devour with just a bong of your tent-side gong. Tents at Le Palais Rhoul have all the amenities you would never get camping, but will probably ignore come Valentine's night. (Cuz you'll be screaming "inshallah, baby" in the name of love!)

Tents have fireplaces, plasma TV's, DVD collections and lucky lovers get private massage tables. The bathroom alone is super spiffy with a fireplace and a wooden elephant head hook to slip off your robes for some romance. Think of those caidal tents that nobleman and their court rocked in the photos of your old history books. The coolest item in the tent suites still, however, has to be the gong.

Do use it sparingly. Remember, it's only fun and funny to the person banging the gong.

    hammam

    I tried their hamman once. It was done by this tiny middle aged man who kept grunting when he was scrubbing us down, then as soon as we got in the plunge pool to finish off, he started saying "tip Mrs, tip please", which kind of spoiled the moment. So we didn't tip him. And don't dare go back..

    Outstanding Experience, Simply fabulous !


    I stayed with my wife in this hotel the last few nights of our honeymoon and we liked it a lot. We had a excellent time from start to finish.

    From the second we walked in the door and where greeted by the very friendly and helpful nora  we knew it was going to be something delightful.

    We stayed in a small romantic red room "les concubines " with a small balcony overlooking the palm trees in the garden and a another view facing the swimming pool. More than comfortable enough, large kink size bed, full bath with all kinds of toiletries, thick bath robes and slippers, and spotless housecleaning. The decoration is simply incredible ! with great attention to detail.

    The internet connection was free (wifi), the breakfast was incud in the price of the room with a large variety of choices (Moroccan crepe, yogurt, eggs, cheese, mint tea, breads,  natural marmalade coming from the palais rhoul farm, pastries, cereal along with hot drinks and fresh juice. etc, etc...).

    Staff was friendly, never imposing, just letting us enjoy this magic place. Always cheerful and delivered with a smile and a personal touch.

    The people at the front desk were very helpful (we were given maps), advice and offered us suggestions for dinner and day trip in the atlas mountain.

    this hotel is one of my absolute favorites. Will return here year after year.

    Thank you all very much.
