Its glass and brick orangery, covered in chiselled lanterns, has become one of the most photographed dinner settings in Marrakech.

A family-run, private property nestled in the Marrakech palm grove, Tigmiza cultivates a more personal and warm art of hosting. The Colisée space, which can welcome up to 200 guests, unfolds between a bar with romantic alcoves overlooking the palm grove and an esplanade dedicated to dinner and festivities. Around the main pool, a second, more intimate space — up to 150 people — lends itself to cocktails and poolside brunches, before turning into a fairy-tale setting at nightfall. A human-scale address, for weddings that favour closeness and authenticity.
