The big decision in magical Marrakech is whether to stay in town in a traditional riad, or outside the city walls. We favour the tranquility, sense of space and incandescent night skies of the latter, in a hotel like Tigmi, a 30-minute drive from the souks, snake charmers, acrobats and fortune-tellers of Djemaa el Fna.

With its unique labyrinth of souks and palaces, markets and minarets, Marrakech is one of the world’s most enchanting cities. Less than four hours’ flight from the UK, it is both exotic and easy to reach.
In the Djemaa el Fna, Marrakech’s pulsating main square, all your senses will be assaulted by the spectacular daily pageant of singers, tumblers, sorcerers, herbalists, raconteurs, impostors, preachers and snake charmers, all competing for your eye. And if it’s all too much, retire to observe it all over a cooling drink or refreshing mint tea in the comfort of one of the overlooking rooftop cafes.
For an intimate and sophisticated experience, check-in to La Sultana Marrakech Hotel, an exquisite hotel which was originally a set of four riads in the heart of the Medina. Or, for a rural setting within easy reach of the Medina, try Tigmi, an enchanting retreat.
We offer a range of interesting excursions outside of the city including Berber markets and villages, the stunning scenery of the Atlas Mountains, the characterful fishing port of Essaouira and the edge of the Sahara Desert.
As Morocco specialists, we also offer city breaks to Rabat, Fes and Taroudant as well as special interest holidays including bird-watching, cookery, wine-tasting and Land Rover safaris.
