Here’s our curated look at why Marrakech remains a favourite among our clientele, and what makes it one of the most compelling destinations for private jet travellers.
Why Marrakech is Always in Style
Marrakech has long drawn the attention of artists, designers, royals, and global travellers, attracted by its beauty, climate, and energy. It’s a city where ancient Islamic architecture and Berber traditions sit alongside world-class spas, private riads, and some of the most stylish hotels in the world. With year-round sunshine, easy access from Europe and the Middle East, and an ever-growing selection of luxury experiences, it’s no surprise that Marrakech is frequently at the top of the list for discerning travellers.

Where to Stay: World-Class Hotels and Riads
Marrakech is home to some of the finest accommodation in North Africa. For high-end stays, La Mamounia, Royal Mansour, and Amanjena are among the most celebrated. These properties offer palatial suites, serene gardens, private pools, and full spa facilities, perfect for travellers who expect discretion and exceptional service.
For something more intimate, consider a stay in a private riad within the medina, where you can enjoy the sounds, scents, and sights of Marrakech from the comfort of a beautifully restored courtyard home. All of these options are accessible via private transfer from Marrakech Menara Airport, which handles private jet arrivals with dedicated VIP services.

Explore the Medina: Culture and Craftsmanship
The UNESCO-listed medina is the soul of Marrakech. Wander through its narrow alleys and discover artisan workshops, spice stalls, souks brimming with handwoven rugs, brass lanterns, leather goods, and more.
Don’t miss Jemaa el-Fnaa, the iconic central square that comes alive at sunset with street performers, food vendors, and traditional musicians. For a more curated experience, we recommend a private guided tour, which can take you beyond the surface into hidden palaces and historic riads.

Desert Luxury: Escapes Beyond the City
A short drive from Marrakech takes you into the Agafay Desert, where luxury desert lodges and glamping retreats offer starlit dining, camel rides, quad biking, and spa treatments with panoramic views.
Properties like Scarabeo Camp and Inara Camp provide a completely different side of Moroccan luxury, peaceful, remote, and deeply atmospheric. These experiences are ideal for a two, or three-night retreat away from the city before returning to your villa or jetting off to your next destination.
Golf in Marrakech: Championship Courses in the Sun
Marrakech has become a genuine golf destination, with championship courses designed by the likes of Robert Trent Jones and Jack Nicklaus. Thanks to the climate, the city offers year-round golf, with standout courses including Assoufid Golf Club, Royal Golf Marrakech, and Al Maaden Golf Resort.
These clubs combine beautiful desert landscapes with world-class facilities, making them perfect for a long weekend or an extended golfing holiday, easily paired with spa treatments, fine dining, and luxurious post-game lounging.
