An underground electronic-music nightclub inside the Es Saadi Marrakech Resort in Hivernage, open Thursday through Saturday from midnight until dawn. Its minimalist, intimate room and curated house and techno sets are aimed at serious electronic-music listeners rather than the resort's larger cabaret crowd.

A nightclub on Route de Casablanca billing itself as Marrakech's top address for Arabic and Oriental sounds layered with dance music, a contrast to the international house and hip-hop formula of most Hivernage clubs. Open nightly from 11pm to 5am with plush seating and a large sound and light system.

A nightclub on Avenue Echouhada in Hivernage, relaunched from the former VIP Room, open nightly from 11pm to 5am. The smaller, velvet-lined room centers on Afrobeats and Amapiano with international DJs and live performers rather than large production shows.
