Marrakech Luxury Vacations

Marrakech Travel Guide

Marrakech, the Red City, sprawls across the golden desert at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, creating unique skylines that pierce the sunsets. Full of history, culture and seemingly endless noise from the hustle and bustle of the souq, Marrakech is a vibrant city catering to a variety of travelers and holidays.

To start, seek out a Riad in the Medina, the heart of Marrakech, for the quintessential Morocco experience in an authentic home. Luxury Riads Rentals can be both exclusively rented as a private vacation rental as well as boutique hotels with only a few other guests.

Things to do in Marrakech
Marrakech offers stunning cultural sights of historical significance in its whimsical palaces, buzzing markets and innumerable squares. A visit is incomplete without braving the souks (suuqs) selling everything from spices to tagines, from shoes to kaftans and more.

Djemma el Fna is a large square in the center of the the Medina (Marrakech’s old city) and the perfect starting point for your exploration of Marrakech.

The Majorelle Gardens, now owned by designer Yves Saint Laurent, are a quiet sanctuary in the middle of the modern part of the city. The gardens house the Museum of Islamic Art and are a welcomed escape from the noisy city center.

Other sites include the Saadian Tombs in the Medina, the Palais Dar Si Said, The Ben Youssef Madrassa and Mosque and El Bahia Palace.


When to go to Marrakech
Avoid the sweltering heat in summer and plan a vacation in Marrakech during the cooler months: September through May.
