Africa · North Africa
Four hours from London and a world away — riad courtyards, Atlas snow on the horizon, and palace hotels that have been receiving guests since Churchill painted here.
When to go
Year-round, but spring and autumn are ideal. Summer is very hot, above 40°C in July and August. Winter days are mild and the High Atlas carries snow.
Getting there
Marrakech Menara airport is 15 minutes from the medina and takes private aviation. Around 3h30 direct from London.
What we arrange
Hotels and chalets, private transfers and helicopters, restaurant reservations, guides, events and everything in between — on one WhatsApp thread.

Seventeen acres of walled gardens inside the medina walls, restored by Jouin Manku — arguably the most beautiful hotel in Africa.
EnquireFifty-three individual riads connected by underground service tunnels so staff are never seen. Service without equal anywhere.
EnquireAman's pisé-walled pavilions and reflecting pool outside the city, calm, monumental and a world away from the souks.
EnquireWhere to eat
Haute Moroccan cuisine under a soaring gilded dome — the most refined table in the country.
Insider tableRun entirely by women since 1987, serving the best traditional Fassi cooking in Marrakech. Order the lamb tangia.
Insider tableA riad dinner of some theatre — rooftop drinks, then course after course in a jewel-box dining room.
Insider tableThings to do
Yves Saint Laurent's cobalt garden and the museum built for his archive next door — go at opening.
The souks, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and Ben Youssef — navigable only with someone who knows the way.
The Ourika or Imlil valleys, Berber villages and lunch in the mountains, ninety minutes from the city.
Sunrise over the Palmeraie and the desert fringe, with the Atlas lit pink behind you.
Insider note
Marrakech is a two-base city: a riad in the medina for the atmosphere, then a few nights in the Palmeraie or the Agafay desert to decompress. Doing only one is a half-visit.
