The Mamounia Hotel actually takes its name from its gardens, which are over a hundred years older, laid out by Prince Moulay Mamoun in the 18th century. The gardens aren’t huge but the orange and olive trees, colourful flowerbeds and assorted flora are all meticulously maintained and together create a charming environment. If you fancy a stroll round the gardens it’s best to dress smartly. Certain times are free, but you can also combine your visit with a buffet lunch or afternoon tea near the pool.
