With the largest Medina in North Africa, lively souks with a rich scent of spices, wonderfully secluded oriental gardens, trendy restaurants and the beautiful Palmeraie set against the magnificence of the sweeping Atlas Mountains, the kaleidoscopic charms of Marrakech are unmatched. Our selection of Marrakech luxury riads and villas, including many villas with house staff and private pool, can be found in the most sought-after areas of the Red City.
Villanovo's founders, David and Geraldine, spent a great deal of their lives raising a family in Marrakech. It is through their extensive knowledge and experience of the city that we have been able to put together a carefully curated selection of the finest luxury villas and riads in Marrakech, for you to enjoy.
These beautiful properties provide everything you could need for an unforgettable family holiday in Marrakech. From fresh, leafy patios to elegant heated swimming pools and lush, palm-lined gardens, these delightful holiday homes offer a tranquil oasis to return to after a day spent exploring the lively souks, snazzy restaurants and boutique artisanal shops of the medina. Beyond the gorgeous architecture, our selection also benefits from stylish décor, sun-lit, shared living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, hammams and much more.
Most of our villas and riads in Marrakech come with house staff, including private chefs, on hand to prepare some of the fragrant and colourful local delicacies that are sure to tickle your senses and leave your tastebuds in raptures.
Whether you're looking for a luxury riad in the heart of the Medina, near Jemaa el Fna, a stunning villa surrounded by the leafy palm groves of the Palmeraie, a Moroccan property in the trendy neighbourhoods of Gueliz and Hivernage or something further afield, our exclusive collection will have something to match your needs.
For those looking to take in a round or two on one of Marrakech's world-renowned golf courses, the resorts of Al-Maaden, Amelkis and, of course, Royal Palm are particularly sought-after, their out-of-town locations offering extra space for some splendid large properties surrounded by truly wonderful gardens, all just a stone's throw from the fairway.
With our years of experience, local knowledge and contacts, our dedicated concierge service is an interesting optional extra for those looking to take the stress and guesswork out of planning a perfect holiday experience in our luxury villas in Marrakech. Our skilled teams can assist you in preparing everything from airport transfer and kitchen stocking prior to your arrival to car, bike or boat hire, tips on the best restaurants and boutiques to visit or finest rooftops from which to sip a cocktail and watch the sun set over the city. For those looking to indulge in something extra special, we can even organise a balloon ride over the splendid Atlas Mountains' dramatic landscapes, a stay in a desert camp and many other once-in-a-lifetime experiences guaranteed to create lasting memories of an exquisite family holiday.
Amidst the enchanting Atlas Mountains, Marrakech reveals itself as a haven for exclusive indulgence. For a truly unique experience, venture into the lesser-known Imlil and Amizmiz valleys, where dedicated guides lead bespoke outings through undiscovered Berber landscapes. Savour the unique setting of Kasbah Beldi, a hidden gem offering refined dining under historic trees. Traverse the Agafay Desert's serene terrain with a meal at secluded spots like Terre des Etoiles, perfectly curated by our concierge. For wellness seekers, Marrakech's hammams are a sanctuary, with the intimate Spa de la Sultana offering a distinguished retreat. These experiences, enriched with local expertise and personal touches, ensure a journey unlike any other.
Although this is very much a question of personal taste, with the summers being a little too hot for some, the best time to visit Marrakech is often the spring or autumn. However, for those wishing to beat the winter blues, the blue skies of Marrakech in January and February also offer a welcome escape at just the right time. Whenever you choose to visit Marrakech, you are sure to find a wonderfully memorable experience in one of the world's most celebrated cities.
Scarabeo was excellent (Roches Noires camp), less than an hour from Marrakech
The dune buggies went down exceptionally well with the boys in the group. We also went to the spa which was amazing and reasonably priced.
It was good to experience the vibrancy of the Medina and we had a very delicious lunch at the Dune Rooftop restaurant.
We had a lovely lunch at the restaurant Kabana in the Medina, at Petanque Social Club in the Gueliz, and I would also recommend dinner at Nobu Hotel in the Hivernage neighbourhood. We loved our experience in the Villanovo villas in Marrakech !
Good recommendations provided for taxi service: New Direction
The same goes for restaurants: The Nomad in the Medina, Sahbi Sahbi in Guéliz and Beldi Country club 20 minutes from Marrakech.
One of my favorite experiences was visiting the local spicemarkets, where the vibrant atmosphere and diverse array of goods were truly captivating.
For dining, I particularly enjoyed my birthday dinner at Safran - By Kôya, in the medina, where the was live music, entertainment and lovely dancers. Another memorable restaurant was Le Jardin, offering a delightful blend of local and international dishes in a beautiful garden setting.
In terms of activities, my birthday group and I did hot air balloon with Ciel d'Afrique, quad bike, sightseeing and massages with Renaissens.
Overall, the combination of beautiful locations, exceptional dining in the villa as well as outside the villa, and unique activities made for a truly delightful 40th birthday experience.
