Why Selman Marrakech Is One of the World’s Most Remarkable Places to Stay
**Among the World’s 50 Best Wellness Resorts
Wellness as a Destination**
Selman Marrakech has also entered the highly selective circle of The World’s 50 Best Wellness Resorts, an international accolade shaped by public vote – a powerful marker of authenticity and trust.
At the heart of this recognition lies the Chenot Spa, a rare presence in Morocco and across Africa. More than a spa, it is a philosophy. Rooted in scientific innovation and holistic medicine, its programmes focus on detoxification, revitalisation, and long-term balance.
Wellness at Selman is not a moment between appointments.
It is the architecture of the stay itself.
Excellence, Even in the Glass
Completing this triad of honours, Selman Marrakech’s sommelier has been named Best Sommelier of Morocco 2025 at the Château Roslane Trophy.
A distinction that rewards not only technical expertise, but an elevated sense of hospitality. Here, wine is never an accessory – it is a dialogue. Personalised, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the guest.
In close collaboration with the culinary vision of Jean-François Piège, each pairing contributes to a broader sensory narrative. Dining at Selman is not a meal. It is a composition.
More Than a Palace
Opened in 2012, imagined by the Bennani-Smires family and designed by Jacques Garcia, Selman Marrakech has always resisted trends. Its inspiration draws from Andalusian palaces, Moroccan craftsmanship, and a profound respect for time.
With 60 rooms, suites and villas, lush gardens, an extraordinary Arabian thoroughbred stud farm, and a rare equilibrium between serenity and indulgence, Selman is not a hotel one merely visits.
It is a place one inhabits.
A Coherent Vision, Fully Realised
Taken together, these three distinctions – Michelin Key, World’s 50 Best Wellness Resorts, and Best Sommelier of Morocco – form a single narrative.
That of a house where hospitality, wellness and gastronomy are not separate departments, but expressions of the same philosophy.
At Selman Marrakech, excellence is not an ambition.
It is a culture.
And that is precisely why it endures.
