Marrakech Holidays - Rural Accommodation

If your Marrakech holiday is a quick escape and the priorities are a stunning setting, good food, relaxation and sun, the intensity of a Marrakech riad in the old Medina (traditional centre of the city) might not suit you. Instead you may prefer to be further out and just dip into the centre. Staying in rural Marrakech is a wonderful way to absorb the Moroccan culture and completely wind down. You can combine it with a few days in a riad or just use it as a single base from which to explore the city, the desert, the Atlas Mountains and even day trips to the coast. Below are a selection of our rural Marrakech holiday options around the city edge, from the super-smart Palmeraie to the lower key Ourika Valley - drop us an email or give us a call and we'll make some recommendations.
