The best Airbnbs in Marrakech, including spectacular riads for groups
From serene riads to sprawling villas, these are Marrakech's top Airbnbs
Vibrant colours, bustling souks, serene riads, flourishing green spaces, historic gems, soaring mountains: there are endless hypnotically beautiful sights in Marrakech. And the best way to see them all? By basing yourself in one of the best Airbnbs in Marrakech and taking it all in from a beautiful self-catering gem.
With warm weather all year round, this famously buzzing city makes for the perfect winter sun destination, especially if you're checking into a relaxing Marrakech Airbnb. With particularly pleasant temperatures outside the peak summer months in autumn months like October, or even into February and March when the UK weather is unpredictable at best, the opportunities are endless.
With a fine balance of excitement and relaxation (which has to be the city break Holy Grail) it's also a dream destination for your next trip away with your girlfriends – after all, group travel is good for you – as well as holidays à deux. And with an abundance of sprawling villas, it's a top spot for family trips and multi-generational getaways too.
If you've always dreamed of staying in your very own riad in the heart of the Medina, there are plenty of enticing options to tempt you to book that break in a heavenly Marrakech Airbnb. There are also flats and townhouses, not to mention larger villas and country pads outside the main city, so you're sure to find a place to suit your group.
From the hammams and labyrinthine lanes of the Medina to the Atlas mountains and the Agafay Desert, there's more than enough to keep you entertained on a trip here, so read on for the best Airbnbs in Marrakech.

It's called Riad Sahara, and is located in one of the oldest districts of the Medina called Mouassine.
With a blend of classic Moroccan style and Nordic minimalism, this is a very stylish spot with one bedroom but space for up to four with an extra mattress. Expect high ceilings, striking sky lights, authentic furnishings and, best of all, two private terraces with views of the Medina, the Koutoubia Mosque and the Atlas Mountains beyond.

Price: From £127 per night

For any sport fans, it's also conveniently located close to Assoufid golf course.
