Marxal Resort

Azerbaijan


The region's most glamorous resort is a huge new affair with particularly impressive expanses of lounge, indoor and outdoor pools, games rooms, activities and a memorable spa accessed by tram or a psychedelically colourful tunnel-way.

It's 6km north of central Şəki set in vast, forest-edged grounds across the river from Kiş and with glorious mountain peaks on the horizon. Being over 300m higher, the air is noticeably cooler here than in Şəki.
