When you’re in Marrakech, especially in summertime or if you’re traveling with kids, you might want to spend a day by a pool. Maybe your accommodation doesn’t have one. Maybe you want something bigger. Or you just want one day to relax – swimming, eating, resting.
Maybe you booked a riad with a “pool” and it turned out to be the size of a bathtub. Or you’re traveling with kids who need to burn energy somewhere. Or it’s July/August and 40°C outside. Or you just want one full day when you’re not exploring souks, not walking around, not doing anything – just swimming, eating, and sitting still.
That’s where day passes come in. You show up, pay a fee, get access to a real pool – one that’s actually big, has shade, has food, has space. You don’t need a hotel room. You’re just there for the afternoon or the day. It’s cheaper than you’d think.
Winter is different. November through April, Marrakech is cool. Not cold, but not pool weather unless the water is heated. Some places heat, some don’t. Always call and ask, because if the swimmingpool is not heated – ahhh not sure.
