Michlifen Resort & Golf, situated in the heart of Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, is a luxurious alpine getaway that beautifully blends Moroccan charm with a chalet ambiance. Located in Ifrane, known as “Little Switzerland,” this 5-star palace hotel is nestled amidst enchanting cedar forests, offering an unparalleled alpine experience. The resort features 71 elegantly designed rooms and suites, each equipped with modern amenities and private balconies offering scenic views of lush forests or the resort's pools.
The exceptional beauty of the resort is further accentuated by the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, a first in Africa. This 18-hole championship course winds through stunning landscapes of ravines, cliffs, and cedar groves, providing an unmatched golfing experience. For those seeking relaxation, the expansive spa, complete with a traditional hammam, sauna, and heated pools, offers an ideal retreat. The resort also caters to a variety of interests with activities ranging from skiing and hiking to tennis and a kids’ club.
Dining at Michlifen is a delightful experience, with three restaurants offering a choice of Mediterranean and Moroccan cuisines, all complemented by breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. Guests have commended the attentive service, elegant Art Deco-inspired interiors, and the harmonious blend of Alpine and Moroccan design elements.
Despite its serene location within Ifrane National Park, the resort is conveniently accessible, being just an hour away from Fes-Saïss Airport. However, some guests have noted areas for improvement, particularly with regard to the organization of seating areas and service efficiency. The new management team from the UAE, anticipated in 2024, is expected to bring a revitalization of service quality.
Overall, Michlifen Resort & Golf, with its combination of luxury, natural beauty, and varied activities, stands as a premier destination in Morocco's high-altitude hideaway.
