Marrakech is Having a Moment: Art, Fashion & Fall Indulgences at La Mamounia

As autumn settles over Marrakech, the city welcomes a season of cultural discovery, relaxation, and indulgence. Set amid its lush gardens, the iconic La Mamounia invites travelers to embrace the season through a curated collection of experiences celebrating art, wellness, gastronomy, and fashion.

From immersive exhibitions and rejuvenating spa rituals to indulgent afternoon tea and the city's vibrant design scene, La Mamounia offers an enchanting escape to experience the best of Marrakech this fall.

Art Beyond the Senses

This autumn, La Mamounia invites guests to discover the artistry of Marrakech-based Elisabeth Busson through an exhibition celebrating craftsmanship, on display in the hotel’s lobby until November 15. Featuring relief works on Plexiglas, the exhibition introduces visitors to the artist’s concept of “Haptilism,” which encourages experiencing art through touch rather than sight alone. Designed as a sensory escape from the virtual world, the exhibition highlights the connection between craftsmanship, material, and emotion, inviting guests to reconnect with their senses in a unique and immersive way.

Fall into Relaxation

As temperatures begin to cool, La Mamounia Spa offers a new reason to indulge in a restorative spa escape with the October debut of prestigious Austrian skincare brand Susanne Kaufmann, available exclusively in Morocco at La Mamounia Spa. Rooted in the Austrian Alps, the brand combines traditional botanical knowledge with modern skincare science, embracing a holistic approach to beauty and wellbeing. Complementing La Mamounia’s century-old gardens, the partnership introduces a collection of spa rituals featuring plant-based formulas rich in natural active ingredients, inviting guests to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Autumn Afternoon Tea

As autumn settles over Marrakech, guests are invited to slow down and indulge in La Mamounia’s signature afternoon tea experience by renowned pastry chef Pierre Hermé. Set within the charming Menzeh par Pierre Hermé overlooking the hotel’s lush gardens or the elegant Andalusian patio, the experience features an assortment of sweet and savory delicacies, including delicate sandwiches, madeleines, and Pierre Hermé’s iconic macarons. Highlights include exclusive creations inspired by Morocco’s culinary heritage, such as the Date and Earl Grey and Amlou Macarons, offering an indulgent way to embrace the autumn season.
