Where Josephine Baker once danced, Marrakech still parties. Theatro, opened in 2003 as the very first nightclub in Morocco, occupies the historic music hall of the Es Saadi Resort - a 2,000-capacity temple of sound, light and spectacle.
Theatro's stage carries serious history. The venue occupies the former music hall of the Es Saadi resort, Africa's first music hall, inaugurated more than sixty years ago and once graced by Josephine Baker, the Lido Dancers and Charles Aznavour. In 2003, that legendary stage became Morocco's first nightclub - and it has never looked back.
Today, Theatro is recognised as the best nightclub in Morocco, among the finest in Africa, and ranked in the world's Top 50 clubs. The formula is theatrical by design: resident and international DJs command a state-of-the-art sound system while dancers, acrobats and fire performers turn the night into a live show. Two thousand guests ride the energy together until the early hours, and the club keeps its production sharp with regular technical upgrades that keep it at world-class level.
The rhythm of a Theatro night is its own: doors around 23:30, a build-up through live performances, then the full force of the dance floor until 05:00. The club sits at Rue Ibrahim El Mazini, within the Es Saadi Marrakech Resort, 40000 - a short ride from any point in Hivernage. VIP table service is available, and the team answers on 0664860339.
dress to impress - Theatro's door keeps the standard high, and ID is required. Tables are limited and pricier on headline nights, so book ahead through 0664860339. The club runs seven nights a week from 23:30, making it the most reliable late option in the city; arrive around midnight to catch the first live performances, or after 2 AM for the peak dance-floor hours.
the weight of the room. Dancing where Josephine Baker danced, under a production ranked among the world's best clubs, is not something every city offers. Theatro turns a night out into a claim you can make for the rest of your life.
As a SpotyMeet partner venue, Theatro turns a legendary night into a shared one: see who is heading to the club, create a meet-up and enter the show with friends already around you. Six decades of stage, twenty years of club nights - Theatro is where Marrakech performs, and you are invited.
