Things to do in Marrakech by day: a day by the lake
At KM 12 on the Ourika Road, Beach Mama works at your pace: a pool day with a sunbed, just lunch without one, a match with friends or a group day out. Here is how to plan your day.
Four ways to spend the day
The pool day, 10 am to 9 pm
Arrive at opening time, with a sunbed booked for two, swim in the pool heated to around 29–30 °C, have lunch whenever you like between 12 noon and 6 pm, then enjoy the late afternoon by the lake.
- Sunbeds from 600 to 1,200 MAD for two depending on the area, +300 MAD for a third guest (3 guests maximum per bed)
- Towel, showers and a secure luggage area included; food and drinks from the menu
- Sunbed held for 20 minutes after the booked time, until 2:30 pm at the latest
- Choose your sunbed on the plan
Lunch without a sunbed, 12 noon to 6 pm
Not in the mood for the pool? Just come for lunch, with no entry fee and no minimum spend: the Mediterranean kitchen serves all afternoon, so there is time for a late lunch after a morning in town. A table does not include pool access.
- See the menu online
- Booking a table on WhatsApp is a good idea; the team confirms it
A match with friends
Football matches are shown on a giant screen. Check with the team that your match will be shown, book a table and plan to eat before 6 pm, when the kitchen closes.
- Football at Beach Mama
- Bar open until 9 pm
As a group or for an occasion
Hen or stag party, birthday, company day out: grouped sunbeds, a group lunch, music and extras are arranged on request, with a quote.
