It took me a little while, but I finally updated my Marrakech travel guide to share with you all the places I truly love and recommend after visiting Marrakech twice! When I went to Marrakech for the first time, I became obsessed with the breathtaking architecture, as well as the hospitality, and I wanted to discover more of Marrakech’s colourful charm. I truly left Morocco heartbroken and curious and felt like I had to come back to get even more inspiration from this special place. So, I revisited Marrakech after only a few months and today I can finally tell you more about my most loved places, hotels, Riads (my favourite thing about Morocco) and food places.
*Anzeige
Marrakech has so much to offer and my list will definitely not be complete, but the below places will make you feel more familiar with Marrakech! I hope you like the pictures and get a feeling of why I lost my heart in this magical city…
Where to Stay
La Sultana Marrakech
During my last trip to Marrakech, Alex and I discovered an amazing traditional hotel named “La Sultana Marrakech”. You guys may have already heard of it as it has become quite ‘insta-famous’ and for good reason! The hotel is made up 5 Riads (traditional Moroccan houses) each with its own individual style and character, its the perfect mix of an authentic boutique hotel and amazing Moroccan interiors (which is always my personal favourite when it comes to design ;)!)
The service is also amazing and the team there are so kind! I absolutely loved the big pool with these huge traditional arches covered in flowers and surrounded by trees (so dreamy, right!?). The spacious rooftop area and countless charming spots to lounge during hot noon temperatures or relax and eat al fresco while enjoying the panoramic views. My favourite memory was having a romantic dinner next to the pool, when they turn the whole space into an amazing evening venue – this place as beautiful by night as it is by day. The food is yummy and the ambience is magical, it’s the perfect Moroccan getaway and I am looking forward to visiting again as soon as I can!! 😉
Hotel La Mamounia
There is probably no place I’ve seen more often on Instagram then La Mamounia and I completely understand why… La Mamounia is like the perfect little oasis in vibrant Marrakech. It’s only a ten-minute walk to get to the energetic heart of the city and yet, La Mamounia feels quite open and inviting. You can find out more about this beautiful place in my La Mamounia post. I would love to name you my favourite parts of the hotels, but there are so many hidden gems and beautiful corners. I loved the spa, the Moroccan outdoor shower, the entrance of the hotel, the restaurant – basically everything! Alex and I arrived super tired after fashion month and the bedroom was so cosy, I finally got some rest and felt reborn even after the first night. Thank you, La Mamounia, for this unforgettable stay – I’ll be back sooner rather than later. 😉
Riad Yasmine
For two nights I decided to stay in a Riad in the middle of Marrakech and it was such a good decision. I’ve heard of Riads before but I’ve never visited one before. From outside you have no clue the kind of beauty they have hidden away. You are outside on the vibrant streets of Marrakech and you open the doors to find the most incredible oasis. I found Le Riad Yasmine on Instagram (I plan most of my getaways with the help of social media – it really inspires me and gives me a good and honest impression!) and it was just so charming. The rooms were built around a cute mosaic pool and they serve the freshest food in the morning. Only a kitten would join you when hanging around the pool area and I was super happy when the Riad owners provided me with their pink room. 😉 I also looooved the rooftop, it was huge and you could enjoy the sun in the day, or the warm evening hours.
Riad Le Jardin Secret
From all places I’ve seen in Marrakech, Riad Le Jardin Secret was the one which touched my heart the most. I already loved the impressions I found online, but being at Riad Le Jardin Secret and feeling the vibe melted my heart. The owners of the Riad are a cool, laid back couple with an incredible sense for architecture, interiors and colours. I loved every corner of the Riad! The two little dogs, the pink shades, the beautiful palm trees, the decoration, the swing, a natural shower… every corner is magic! And when I thought I couldn’t love this place more, they served me the breakfast of my dreams! A watermelon filled with fruits, avo, freshly baked goods and everything was so tasty and rich! As the menu was slightly different every day, I was always keen on waking up and seeing what would be next on the list. Do I sound like a fan? Well, I truly am!
Riad BE
I visited Riad BE because I’ve been fascinated by the colourful pictures I found online and the Riad was just as cute as I figured from what I saw before. The Riad has a colourful pool area and a cute rooftop with a little turtle crawling around.
Alex and I only visited for one morning, but the food was soooo good! If Riad BE wasn’t fully booked we would have stayed longer!
Royal Mansour
Well, yes, I did a little hotel and Riad hopping and it was totally worth it. When I arrived at Royal Mansour I felt like a princess. We had the most spacious private Riad with a little pool on the rooftop. But what I liked even more was the breathtaking entrance area, the restaurant and the spa! It was a magical all-white dream! One night we were invited to try the traditional Moroccan restaurant and even though I have the tastebuds of a six-year-old, the food was soooo delicious! Probably the best food I’ve had in Morocco! I usually have such a sweet tooth and these super sweet Moroccan sweets made of honey and nuts gave me life. 😉 Thank you for being the perfect hosts, I will never forget this amazing experience!
Riad Berbere
Riad Berbere is a little more rustic but charming in its own way. It reminded me of a stylish Berber camp in the middle of the Medina! 😉
Where to Eat
One of my favourite things about Marrakech is all the cute rooftop restaurants which allow you to watch the sunset in the most beautiful surroundings, enjoying the endless hospitality of the Moroccan people. I visited the Insta-famous Nomad and the Café Atay and I’ve been obsessed with both places.
Nomad is located above the Souks so that you can stroll around the carpet and spice places and have some delicious and modern Moroccan cuisine with a view afterwards! For an early dinner, we quickly headed to Il Limone which was just around the corner of Riad Yasmine and it was such a beautiful typical Moroccan place.
MUST SEES
You simply cannot visit Marrakech without getting lost around the pink corners of the city, especially the old town Medina. I loved looking at all the carpets, spices and cute lamps. There was so much to discover! One of my favourite places was Ben Youssef, the architecture is beautiful there.
As we brought a lot of work with us, there was only limited time to explore and I still have so many places I want to visit on my list. I also want to discover more hidden Riads! Well, it’s just another a good reason to come back soon… 😉 xx Leonie

Hallo Leonie,
die Bilder sind traumhaft schön und der Ort sieht nach purer Entspannung aus. Vielen Dank für diese tollen Bilder :-*

Hihi, ich schreibe auch gerade an meinem Marrakech Diary und ich glaube wir waren sogar zur gleichen Zeit dort. 🙂 Das La Mamounia haben wir zwar nur für einen Drink besucht, aber das war schon ausreichend um uns zu verlieben…. Und im Nomad waren wir selbstverständlich auch und das Il Limone lag auch direkt bei uns um die Ecke und wurde auch getestet 🙂
Ich kann deine Begeisterung also vollkommen nachvollziehen!
Hab ein schönes Wochenende*
Liebst Kathi

Amazing photos!
http://www.evdaily.blogspot.com
Obwohl ich noch nicht genau weiß wo es 2017 hingeht, wird es defintiv ein Sonnenziel:) also brauche ich unbedingt eine neue tolle Sonnenbrille, um meine Augen stylisch vor UV-strahlung zu schützen! Also wäre es grandios, sowas zu gewinnen 🙂
Unglaublich schöne Fotos!
Dort möchte ich auch irgendwann einmal hin. Die Fliesen überall sind ja so hübsch! Und auch die Märkte würde mich reizen 🙂
Alles Liebe,

These pictures are so beautifl ! I feel so proud of being Moroccan right now
I would love to take the sunnies around Italy: I’ve always been dreaming of eating gelato while walking to the Vatican or doing some shopping in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Mlian. And I’m not even talking about the water rides in Venice or all the pastas, cheeses and pizzas I dream about.
Thank you so much for this giveaway, big kisses xx
I’m speechless!! All these photos are the most beautiful and hedonist dreams like photo diary and guide to Marrakech!

Wow – I get chills just looking at your photos! Stunning place, I love how vibrant the architecture is! Hope to visit one day (it’s on my bucket list!) 🙂
I also love the different outfits you chose to wear during the trip, and the sunnies from Mister Spex are gorgeous! I’d totally wear them while out in the city or on my next trip to Cuba coming soon – they are that stylish! 🙂 xo

Super schöne Sonnenbrille! Ich würde sie im Februar auf meine Reise nach Kolumbien ?? mitnehmen!
Die Fotos sehen aus wie aus 1000 und einer Nacht. TRAUMHAFT!*-* Marrakech klingt wirklich toll, mir war gar nicht klar, dass es so wunderschön und sehenswert ist. Die Stadt kommt wohl auch auf meine Reisezielliste. Das Gefühl von Fernweh habe ich super oft nach dem Lesen deiner Posts, deine Travel Posts sind wirklich total inspirierend!
Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Reisetipps von dir!
Ganz liebe Grüße!

Mal wieder ein wundervoller Poste! Es sieht einfach paradisisch aus! Werde es für 2018 ins Auge fassen, nächstes Jahr ist (leider) schon voll verplant ;)!
Und die Sonnenbrille würde ich mit nach Favignana (kleine Insel bei Sizilien) nehmen. Zur Hochzeit meines Schwagers. In das wundervolle Cas’almare. 🙂

Wahrlich schöne Bilder! Zum Verlieben… da überleg ich glatt direkt selbst nach Marrakesh zu fliegen! Bin auch tatsächlich schon am Flug suchen! #achherrje 😛
Und wenn ich Sunnies von Mister Spex mitnehmen könnte, dann wär das natürlich ein Traum.
Hab noch einen schönen Samstag!
Would love to go to Salt Lake City, Utah with the sunnies ! Absolutely loved all your pictures:)
Deine Bilder sind einfach pure Perfektion! <3 Liebe Grüße, Leonie von http://eyeofthelion.de
Wow, die Bilder sind magisch! Bin hin und weg!
Bis jetzt habe ich noch keine konkreten Reiseziele für nächstes Jahr, aber wenn alles klappt, werde ich meinen Bruder in Boston besuchen und dann natürlich auch einen Abstecher nach New York machen. Da passt die Sonnenbrille finde ich super hin. 🙂
Ich würde sie zum Skifahren mit in die Schweiz nehmen ??? perfekt dafür!! Wunderschöne Bilder hast du da gemacht ?
Wunderschöner Post! Im Falle eines Gewinns würde ich es dir gerne gleich tun & Marrakesch erkunden 🙂
Amazing place! <3
Wow unfassbar schön

Liebe Leonie,
die Bilder sind euch einfach unfassbar gut gelungen! Dazu kommt, dass die Locations wahnsinnig schön sind, dass ihr euch sofort verliebt habt, ist mehr als verständlich. Ich möchte auch schon lange mal nach Marrakech, jetzt noch mehr als zuvor. Sieht nach einem traumhaften Urlaub aus!
Das lange weiße Kleid ist ein Traum! <3
Alles Liebe,

Marrakech ist soeben auch ganz weit oben auf meine Bucket List gerutscht. Absolut traumhaft und grandios schöne und märchenhafte Bilder, Leonie.
Über die Tommy Hilfiger x Gigi Hadid Sunnies würde ich mich wahnsinnig freuen – da Sonnenbrillen süchtig 😀 Nein, Sonnenbrillen sind einfach ein super Statement Piece und dieses Modell würde ich gerne auf meinem nächsten Trip nach Santorini mitnehmen 🙂
x Gitta // http://www.gittawitzel.com
wow so schöne Bilder. Ich will nächstes Jahr auch nach Marokko (am liebsten mit der neuen Sonnebrille ;)) und dieser Blogpost vergrößert den Wunsch umso mehr. Ich fange sofort mit der Planung an 🙂
Wie unfassbar schön sind bitte diese Fotos?! ? ? Auf meiner bucketlist stehen (jetzt neben Marrakech!!) auf jeden Fall Tulum und Tangier noch ganz weit oben. Das wird hoffentlich nach dem Staatsexamen die dringend benötigte Erholung ?
Liebe Grüße,
Nika
Hi Leonie,
Love your snaps on Instagram! Such great colour, so fresh. Thanks for the Marrakech tips I’m going next month to escape the London winter. This would be the first spot I would wear Mister Spex before going to sunny South Australia for a visit home. Look forward to more of your posts.

Wow!! What a beautiful post! You photos are absolutely breath taking… this place looks like the ultimate dream!!! I also love those sunnies! I would really LOVE to be able to take them with me on a trip to the Philippines with my husband in 2017!! 🙂

Every single photo just makes me want to dive in! Everything is so beautiful, and as to where I would like to take my sunnies: I can’t think of a better place than Morocco! The pink hue would match perfectly to the brown-pink sand 😉 As we share our love to pink of course!

Love Marrakesh soooo much! <3
Beautiful photos and wonderful writing. I would love to go to Moracco someday.
(In the section titled “food”, I think you meant “endless hospitality of the Moroccan people”, not “hostility”. 🙂
Author
Hihi thank you for telling me, I have to change that! :O <3
Beautiful photos and very interesting post! I’m going to Marrakech very soon, in June, and this tips will help me a lot to organize my days there, I will definetly check out all your recommendations!
I would take this gorgeus sun glasses with me this summer, i’m gonna visit Puglia and Rome in Italy and like i’ve already said Marrakech.
xx from Barcelona
Hi! Loved this post! I am going to Morocco this summer — to Marrakesh, Casablanca, Fez, and Chefchouen! I noticed in your photos you had some shorter dresses and others that were strapless/tank style..I have been doing a lot of research and many things I’ve read said to not expose shoulders/chest/and legs above the knee.. in your experiences, was it okay to wear “revealing” clothes there?
Author
I am very glad that you liked it and found it helpful! I am very fond of my travel guides because I love to think back of the amazing time I had there! 🙂 I hope you have the most wonderful time on your trips!!!
Wow, tolle Eindrück & Bilder Leonie! Ich war selbst im September dort und schreibe gerade an einem Guide. Marrakech ist für mich fast jedes Jahr einen Trip wert und sei es nur ein Wochenende. Immer wieder zauberhaft!

Danke, meine Liebe! Ich möchte auch unbedingt wieder nach Marokko und das Land noch besser kennenlernen!

Hi dear, I would say that it depends a lot on where exactly in Morocco you are. Obviously, if you are within your hotel area you can decide more freely what you want to wear. Also Marrakesh for example was rather touristy and seeing some skin there was not that unusal. However, this is probably different in cities with less exposure to tourism. I always have a scarf or something alike with me to cover myself up if I go to a place where it seems more appropriate! Have fun on your trip, I am sure it is going to be amazing!!!!
I just came back from Marrakech a few weeks ago, so looking at your gorgeous pics made me reminisce 🙂 Its such a vibrant place, and the food was to die for. La Mamounia is definitely on my hit-list for next time!
Author
Lucky you! I’d love to go back soon!
Hello! My name is Cynthia from Philippines.
I saw your photo on instagram and I told my boyfriend that I want to have a photo exactly where you’ve been and there, he found your blog:) Thanks for sharing about Marrakech.
I’m following your footsteps, Going to the same place you have been. I’m travelling for Morrocco on the next day.
And if I will be able to take that sunnies with me, it’ll be in a summer time in British Columbia, Canada! ?
Author
I am glad you found it helpful! I hope you’ll have an amazing time in Morocco! I’M sure you will love it!
Author
Thank you for the beautiful! Beautiful post!
Super pictures! Thanks for sharing. Just an erratum: you wrote at the Food part “endless hostility” 😛 maybe you wanted to say hospitality… Kind Regards
Hi! I have been following your Instagram and love it. I am looking for the two swimsuits that you wore in your Marrakech trip – the black one piece (with low back and criss cross) and the white one piece (with low back). Can you let me know where to get them? They don’t look like the ones in the links. Thank you!!
