Also new for 2018 is Welcome to the Kingdom, a cultural, creative and immersive space curated by Amine Bendriouich, that will bring the best avant-garde offerings Morocco has to offer, from the fields of design, music, art, and culture. Barometer, Marrakech’s celebrated cocktail bar, is set to make a return, offering up a unique and mouthwatering menu of fusion drinks, thanks to their bespoke cocktail wizardry and alchemic approach to mixing. Also returning for 2018 is the festival’s hookah lounge, champagne bar, and a wide variety of culinary delights from Marrakech’s contemporary food scene. All this, coupled with a new on-site spa, daily yoga and meditation, sun-soaked swimming pools and tropical gardens provides a fully immersive and relaxing experience next to the world-class music offerings.
