In the Hivernage district of Marrakech, Le Jardin de l'Hivernage is a private club open to visitors: you can go in for the pool, padel, the restaurant or the snack bar. We dropped by on 24 June 2026, in the late afternoon. In the interest of transparency: Le Jardin de l'Hivernage belongs to a friend; this is not a paid partnership.

The reception and its JH monogram
- Place
- Le Jardin de l'Hivernage, Club des Pharmaciens · Open in Maps
At reception, a white counter is carved with foliage and the JH monogram, between gilded metal lamps, next to the site map. Signs point the way to the padel courts, the restaurant and the pool.
Le Jardin de l'Hivernage sits within the grounds of the Club des Pharmaciens, founded in 1993 by the Association des Pharmaciens de Marrakech (the city's pharmacists' association).
A garden of water and zellige
Near the counter, a long green zellige ornamental pool lined with small water jets stretches between the lawns and the palm trees as far as the Jardin de l'Hivernage sign. For part of its length, it runs beneath a black metal pergola.
“You can spend pretty much your whole day there relaxing, eating and playing sport.”
The big pool among the palm trees
The pool is the heart of the place: blue water, sun loungers with green cushions, parasols and, at the far end, white four-poster beds among the palm trees. The venue describes it as semi-Olympic.
At around 18:40, there were still a few swimmers in the water.
The day pass packages
Entry to the complex is free; the pool and the padel courts, however, are charged for. The pool is open to visitors with a day pass, giving access for the day. Depending on the package, you get:
- a padded sun lounger with a smoothie;
- a sun lounger with lunch, by the pool;
- a double four-poster bed under shade sails, with lunch.
The venue lists swimming from 10:00 to 19:00 and closing at 22:00, with last service at 21:00 (hours noted in October 2026, worth checking depending on the season).
Padel courts in the same complex
The complex also has padel courts, run by Urban Padel Marrakech, at the Club des Pharmaciens: you can come just to play. According to their listing, they are open every day from 8:00 to midnight.
For a quiet break in Marrakech, Le Jardin de l'Hivernage brings together in one place a big pool among the palm trees, a restaurant, a snack bar, a bar and padel courts.
