Villanovo offers a curated collection of luxury villas and riads for rent in Marrakech, selected for their privacy, character and refined comfort. From the Medina to the Palmeraie and Amelkis, selected properties feature private pools, tennis courts, the option of a private chef or cook and house staff, while a dedicated local concierge service accompanies each stay with personalised arrangements for a refined experience in the Red City.
Each of our villas in Marrakech is selected for the quality of its spaces, its design and the level of service available during the stay. Generous living areas open onto shaded patios, landscaped gardens with olive trees and, in selected properties, terraces with views towards the Atlas Mountains. Spacious bedrooms and well-appointed bathrooms provide comfort and privacy, while fully equipped kitchens, refined décor and details inspired by Moroccan craftsmanship complete the interiors.
Wellness is an important part of the experience in many properties. Most of the villas in Marrakech feature a private swimming pool, sometimes heated, along with a hammam, private spa or dedicated massage room, creating peaceful spaces to unwind throughout the day.
Service is equally important to the experience in the villa. Many rentals in Marrakech include house staff, with housekeeping and daily assistance included depending on the property. Some villas also offer the option of a private chef or cook, allowing guests to enjoy freshly prepared Moroccan meals directly at the villa.
Our villas are located across several distinct areas of Marrakech, allowing guests to choose the setting that best suits their stay. In the centre of Marrakech, staying in the heart of the Medina places you close to Jemaa el-Fna, the souks and the historic centre. For a quieter setting, a villa in the Palmeraie offers more space, gardens and a residential atmosphere. The Gueliz and Hivernage areas provide convenient access to modern boutiques and restaurants, while golf lovers may prefer a villa near the renowned courses of Amelkis, Royal Palm, or Al-Maaden, with larger properties and open views close to the fairways.
Villanovo’s dedicated local concierge service in Marrakech accompanies guests before and throughout their luxury stay in Marrakech, with attentive support shaped around the way they wish to experience the city. Drawing on strong local knowledge and a trusted network of partners, the concierge team can coordinate airport transfers, grocery pre-stocking, private drivers, wellness treatments, restaurant reservations and car or bike rentals.
Beyond these practical arrangements, the concierge service can also create bespoke experiences adapted to each stay, from private dinners and spa treatments at the villa to hot air balloon rides over the Atlas Mountains, guided discoveries of Marrakech or evenings in the Agafay Desert. Each detail is carefully coordinated to offer guests a more personal and considered way to discover Marrakech.
Marrakech offers a wide range of cultural and culinary experiences, from the historic area of the Medina to its gardens, museums and contemporary art galleries. In the old city, guests can explore the souks, walk through Jemaa El Fna Square and visit landmarks such as the Majorelle Garden, Le Jardin Secret and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. A private guide can provide valuable insight into local craftsmanship and traditions, while food-focused experiences offer the chance to discover Moroccan cuisine prepared with fresh ingredients, followed by a traditional mint tea.
Day trips from Marrakech reveal a different side of the surrounding area. In the Atlas Mountains, private hikes around Imlil and Amizmiz lead through mountain villages and valleys with stunning views, while the Agafay Desert can be explored on foot, by camel or quad bike. Private lunches, dinners and desert camps can also be arranged for guests wishing to spend more time outside the city.
Marrakech and its surroundings are also ideal destinations for families, with activities that can be adapted to different ages, from guided cultural visits and cooking experiences to gentle hikes and outdoor adventures.
The best times for exploring depend on the season: spring and autumn offer particularly pleasant conditions for outdoor activities, while in summer, early mornings and evenings are generally better suited to excursions beyond the villa.

We loved wandering around the souks and eating in some fabulous locations (Kabana, les Jardin du Lotus, la Terrasse des épices…). Our evenings sat by the fire in the villa Aïtana being cooked by our wonderful chef Marika were fantastic, the food was amazing. We loved our day in the desert and camel riding too.
Scarabeo Camp in the Agafay Desert was the best.
Dardar rooftop restaurant & bar in Marrakech Medina was very nice.
Party and food in the Villa Jacaranda in the Palmeraie were amazing.
Restaurants in the center of Marrakech - Le Comptoir Darna and Terrasses des Epices were fabulous.
Medina trip was great.
Agafay Desert - camel ride and fire show great fun.
We went to Mizaan restaurant for dinner on the friday night and the food was excellent.
We also visited the Yves Saint Laurent Museum and the Majorelle Garden, which were beautiful.
We went shopping in the souks, but I’d recommend doing it over a few days, as the shopping is vast and there are so many different areas to explore. It is better to tackle it in shorter bursts!
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.
