Selman Marrakech, my favorite palace (and not just for the horses)
Hey beauties, it’s Simone 💕
Let’s talk about Selman Marrakech, because if you’ve ever dreamed of a wedding that feels elegant, cinematic, and a little bit unexpected… this just might be your place
Imagine this: golden light pouring through palm trees, soft music floating in the air, and an Arabian horse walking gracefully in the background. Yes, a real horse. That’s Selman, part palace, part fantasy, and fully unforgettable.
🌿 Where It All Happens
At Selman, every ceremony spot feels like a painting:
- Lush gardens with the Atlas Mountains in the distance and horses quietly grazing.
- A poolside terrace that stretches over 80 meters, perfect for cocktails or dinner under the stars.
- Elegant halls and Moorish-style terraces, filled with candlelight and timeless romance.
- Oh… and yes, the stables. You can actually have part of your wedding surrounded by purebred Arabian horses. Talk about a statement.
🛏️ What Your Guests Will Love
Selman makes every guest feel like royalty. You’ll have:
- 60 rooms, 5 suites, and 5 private villas with garden or terrace views
- One of only six Chenot spas in the world , detox, hammams, hydrotherapy, full wellness bliss
- Three restaurants (yes, including a Michelin-level one), two bars, boutique shops, and a kids club
- And the best part? Complimentary horse shows that feel straight out of a dream
🐴 A Little Selman Sparkle
Want to arrive on horseback? You can.
Or maybe take romantic photos walking with a white stallion beside you? Yes, that too.
I once planned a cocktail hour right in the stables. The horses watched quietly while guests sipped champagne under fairy lights. People are still talking about it.
They also offer equine therapy, dressage shows, and even Pony Circus experiences for kids. It’s the kind of place where you can really surprise your guests — in the best way.
💸 Selman Marrakech Wedding Pricing
Here’s what you’re looking at:
| Package Type | What’s Included | Price Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Full buyout | All rooms & event spaces for several days | From €200,000 |
| Garden/hall rental | Venue only (no stay) | €50,000–€75,000 |
| Poolside or salon dinner (80 guests) | Food, drinks, venue | €60,000+ |
It’s definitely a luxury venue, but it gives back in atmosphere, elegance, and service.
✅ What I Love (and What to Know)
Pros:
- Incredible horses + garden backdrop = unforgettable photos and emotions
- Spa, rooms, food, and events, everything in one place
- Totally unique experience: not many places let you dine by candlelight… next to a horse
Things to keep in mind:
- It’s a high-end investment
- It works best for up to 200 guests (not ideal for huge weddings)
- Selman works with their trusted team, which makes planning smooth, but not super DIY
💡 From Me to You
One of my favorite couples did their first look on the floating platform near the pool. It was just after sunset, horses nearby, lanterns glowing, and everything felt still. She cried, he cried, I almost cried, it was that beautiful.
Final Thoughts
If you want a wedding that feels royal, romantic, a little dramatic (in the best way) and deeply personal, then a Selman Marrakech wedding might just be your perfect match.
You’ll get the elegance of a palace, the intimacy of a private villa, and the magic of Arabian horses woven into your story.
