Marrakech has seven hotels that open their pools to non-guests, from a rambling organic farm estate at Beldi Country Club to the Royal Mansour's 30-metre palace garden pool. Options span the city: the Hivernage district has the densest cluster of upmarket properties, while Beldi and Selman sit further out in quieter surroundings.
Day passes run from 440 MAD (about $44) at Beldi to 2,250 MAD (about $225) at Royal Mansour. Most mid-range options bundle lunch into the price, which makes the 600–700 MAD bracket strong value. At the top end, Four Seasons and Sofitel separate pool access from food, so the real spend climbs quickly once you add a meal.
All seven require advance booking; Royal Mansour asks for 48 hours' notice, most others 24. July and August weekend slots fill fast; book by Thursday for a Saturday visit. WhatsApp works well for enquiries at smaller properties; the big chains prefer phone or their own websites.
- Beldi Country Club (440 MAD / about $44). Organic farm estate with a natural stone pool and full lunch included.
- Palais Mirage d'Atlas (490 MAD / about $49). Two pools including a heated 33°C section, Atlas mountain views.
- Es Saadi Marrakech Resort (600 MAD / about $60). Three-course lunch included, Hivernage resort with spa upgrade option.
- Selman Marrakech (690 MAD / about $69). Long pool beside horse paddocks, Atlas mountain backdrop.

| Beldi Country Club | Day Pass (pool + lunch) | 440 MAD (about $44) |
| Palais Mirage d'Atlas | Day Pass + Lunch (summer) | 490 MAD (about $49) |

The mid-range hotels (Es Saadi, Selman, Palais Mirage) bundle lunch into the day pass price. The premium hotels (Four Seasons, Sofitel) separate pool access from food, so the lunch addition nudges them close to Royal Mansour territory if you add it in. At the 600–700 MAD level, Marrakech offers genuinely good value: full lunch included, long pool hours, and strong service.
What's included in a Marrakech pool day pass?
Most Marrakech pool passes include a sun lounger and towels as standard, and the majority also include lunch. Beldi Country Club, Es Saadi, Selman, and Palais Mirage all bundle a sit-down meal. The Royal Mansour includes a welcome mocktail and lunch, making it the closest to a true all-inclusive at that price point. The Four Seasons and Sofitel offer pool-only passes and lunch upgrades separately.
Spa access is an add-on everywhere except Es Saadi's Palace Pass (1,000 MAD), which includes a hammam or massage. Wi-Fi is included at Sofitel. Drinks are generally charged separately at all properties. Private cabanas exist at Royal Mansour (seven pavilions) and are reservable for groups. Kids' discounts are standard at Four Seasons, Sofitel, Selman, and Palais Mirage (50% for under-12s).
Where to stay in Marrakech
The medina is the most atmospheric base: riads, souks, and Jemaa el-Fna all within walking distance. La Mamounia sits at the edge of the medina walls and is the legendary address in the city, with vast gardens, a pool, and a long history of famous guests. For something more intimate, any well-reviewed riad in the old city gives a better sense of the medina than the larger hotels can.
The Hivernage district, just outside the medina walls, has a cluster of modern luxury hotels including Es Saadi and Sofitel, both on this page. It's quieter, more driveable, and a short taxi ride from the souks. Beldi Country Club and Selman sit further out still, in more rural surroundings about 15 to 20 minutes from the city centre, good if you want to stay somewhere with countryside space rather than a city feel.
Beldi Country Club
Seven hectares of organic gardens, rose fields, and olive groves surround a large natural stone pool at Beldi Country Club, about 10 minutes by taxi from the Medina. The Day Pass (440 MAD / about $44) includes pool access, a sun lounger, towel, and lunch at the poolside restaurant. The setting is deliberately low-key: no DJ, no minimum spend, no dress code beyond basic decorum. Access runs 10am to 5pm. This is the best option if you want a quiet, garden-heavy day out with good Moroccan food and no fuss.

Two pools, a large cool pool and a heated 90-square-metre section maintained at 33°C year-round, sit within gardens modelled after the Majorelle, roughly 20 minutes from the city centre with Atlas mountain views. The summer Day Pass + Lunch (490 MAD / about $49) covers both pools from 11am to 6pm, a two-course Moroccan and international menu, towels, sunbeds, and complimentary gym and shower access. If you want the heated pool alone, that's 690 MAD (about $69), though the summer lunch deal is considerably better value. Free cancellation is available if you book via their site.

Es Saadi Marrakech Resort
The Pool Day Pass at Es Saadi (600 MAD / about $60) gives you the outdoor pool, a sun lounger, and a three-course lunch with starters and a main at the "Around the Pool" restaurant; drinks cost extra. The resort sits in the Hivernage district, the tree-lined neighbourhood just west of the Medina and a short taxi ride from the souks. If you want to add a hammam, 30-minute massage, or facial, step up to the Palace Pass (1,000 MAD / about $100), which bundles the same pool and lunch with a spa treatment. Good for couples spending a full day between pool and spa without moving venues.

Selman Marrakech
The pool at Selman runs long and still beside the hotel's celebrated Barb horse paddocks, with the Atlas mountains as a backdrop. The Chill'in Pass (690 MAD / about $69) includes pool access, a full lunch at the restaurant, and towels. Children under 12 pay half price. Selman sits in the Palmeraie area, the upmarket palm grove district about 15 minutes from the Medina. It's a quieter setting than the Hivernage properties, with a distinctly equestrian character that makes it feel unlike most Marrakech hotels.

Four Seasons Resort Marrakech
The Four Seasons has two pools: a main pool with Atlas mountain views and an adults-only section for a quieter swim. The Pool Pass (950 MAD / about $95) covers pool access, towels, and sunbeds. Add lunch and it's the Day Pass (1,250 MAD / about $125), which includes a full à la carte lunch at the Solstice restaurant with a starter and main course; beverages are extra. Children under 12 get a 50% discount on both options. The resort is in Hivernage, with service that's consistently the most attentive in Marrakech at this price point. Reservation required, and they limit capacity.

Sofitel Marrakech
The Sofitel has two outdoor pools within well-kept landscaped gardens in Hivernage. The Pool Day Pass (1,000 MAD / about $100) covers full-day access from 8am to 6pm with towels and sunbeds, plus complimentary Wi-Fi. Step up to the Pool + Lunch Pass (1,500 MAD / about $150) and you get a curated gourmet Mediterranean lunch at L'Oasis, which offsets most of the premium over the base pool pass. Children aged 4 to 12 pay half price on both packages; under-4s swim free. The long hours and good food quality at this price range make it worth the extra 500 MAD over the Four Seasons pool-only rate.

Royal Mansour
The Royal Mansour's Le Jardin pool measures 30 by 20 metres and sits within 2.5 hectares of garden designed by Spanish landscape architect Luis Vallejo, with geometric flowerbeds, kiosks, and a direct sightline to the Koutoubia minaret. The Day Pass (2,250 MAD / about $225) is the most expensive on this list by a clear margin, and it includes access to the pool and private cabanas, a welcome mocktail, and a full lunch, making it all-inclusive in effect. Seven pavilions (45 to 80 square metres each) offer private shade for groups. Capacity is managed carefully; book at least 48 hours ahead through their website. The pool operates Monday to Sunday, 9:30am to 6:30pm.

How to book a pool day pass in Marrakech
Book directly with the hotel by phone, email, or their own website. Beldi Country Club, Palais Mirage, Royal Mansour, and Es Saadi all have direct booking on their sites. Sofitel and Four Seasons prefer phone reservations. Selman handles bookings via their experiences page or by phone.
Booking direct avoids aggregator fees and gives you a direct contact to resolve any issues on the day. WhatsApp is common for initial enquiries, particularly at mid-range properties. For Sofitel and Royal Mansour, email confirmation is standard. Book at least 24 hours ahead; Royal Mansour asks for 48 hours. In July and August, weekend slots fill quickly and most properties cap capacity.
Can non-guests use hotel pools in Marrakech?
Yes, all seven hotels on this page open their pools to non-guests via day passes. None of these require a hotel room booking. Beldi Country Club is the most relaxed entry point: walk in, pay at reception, and you're in. Royal Mansour is the most structured: advance reservation only, with capacity limits in place year-round. Most properties in between require a phone call or online booking to confirm availability before you arrive.
Best time for a pool day pass in Marrakech
May through September is the main pool season, with temperatures regularly above 35°C. July and August are peak summer: pools are in full operation but crowded on weekends, and some properties sell out Saturday slots by Thursday. Weekdays in July and August are noticeably quieter, and a few properties discount slightly. April and October are the sweet spots: warm enough to swim comfortably (25–30°C), minimal crowds, and no need to book weeks ahead. Winter passes are still available at heated pools like Palais Mirage d'Atlas, which keeps its smaller pool at 33°C year-round.
Avoid Friday afternoons if you want a calm pool experience; it's peak time for local families at the more accessible venues like Beldi.
Frequently asked questions
Do hotel pools in Marrakech have a dress code?
Most properties expect standard swimwear and modest cover-ups in communal areas. Beldi Country Club is the most relaxed; Royal Mansour and Four Seasons enforce smarter standards: no cut-off shorts or overly casual beachwear poolside. Topless sunbathing is not accepted at any of these hotels.
Which Marrakech pool day pass is best for families?
Selman, Four Seasons, Sofitel, and Palais Mirage d'Atlas all offer 50% discounts for children under 12. Four Seasons has an adults-only pool section if you want a quieter swim while the kids use the main pool. Selman's equestrian grounds are a strong draw for children. Beldi Country Club's relaxed gardens also work well with young families.
Can I pay in cash or do I need a card?
Most properties accept both cash (Moroccan dirham) and international credit cards. Beldi Country Club and Palais Mirage are more cash-friendly; Royal Mansour and Four Seasons handle card payments smoothly. It's worth calling ahead if you plan to pay in cash at the luxury end, as some require prepayment by card to confirm the booking.
More pool day passes near Marrakech
The Agafay Desert is 45 minutes from the city and has three desert camp properties offering pool day passes from 450 MAD, all with lunch included and the rocky hammada plateau as the backdrop. It's a genuinely different experience from a city hotel pool and worth pairing with a Marrakech visit. Further north, Fes has five options starting at 200 MAD, including an infinity pool at Hotel Sahrai with Atlas views overlooking the old medina. Casablanca has Atlantic-facing beach club pools from 200 MAD on weekdays, a different register entirely.
