Marrakech: addresses to discover for an unforgettable stay
Marrakech, Morocco’s red city, seduces with its cultural richness, architecture, lively souks and exquisite cuisine. Ranked as one of France’s favorite destinations, the city is full of treasures to discover. Here is our selection of addresses to discover for an unforgettable stay.
Dardar – Cocktails & Eat
Just a stone’s throw from Place Jemaa el-Fna lies one of the city’s finest restaurants: Dardar. With its discreet entrance, this recently opened address ranks among the most popular rooftops in the red city. And with good reason, all the elements of excellence are present. Dardar is (very) good food, a festive atmosphere, a welcome as warm as the temperatures, and an incomparable view of the whole city.
Now a landmark for chic tourists and trendy Marrakchis, the restaurant is the perfect choice for every situation. A sunny lunch? A romantic dinner? A festive dinner with family and friends? The good mood begins as soon as the restaurant opens at midday, and hardly fades around 2am, when it closes.
Try Dardar and you’ll love it. The restaurant staff are welcoming and friendly, creating that “just like home” feeling we so appreciate. On the plate, classic Moroccan dishes are revisited. Like “Pink Couscous”, with beet. Or “green couscous”, with cactus (yes, yes!). Or the traditional pastillas, and an assortment of accompanying salads, “Give me Five”.
But the rest of the menu reflects the restaurant’s popularity. Cosmopolitan and delicious. Deliciously seasoned prawns, a succulent wheat risotto, mashed potatoes with octopus (“Poulpe Fiction”). The pleasure is endless. So grab your stomachs and get ready for one of the best meals of your lives!

Mazel – Streetfood Café
We remain on a gourmet itinerary with this second address. Because what could be better than local delicacies during a stay abroad? Mazel is a “Streetfood Café” or rather an ultra-cute, colorful and trendy terrace where you can enjoy cool drinks and cutting-edge streetfood.
Located on the lively Place des Ferblantiers, Mazel exudes conviviality. A coffee in the sun, watching passers-by stroll by and admire the scenery. At Mazel, people come at all hours of the day to enjoy delicious pita bread with fillings, or even couscous, tajine or poké bowls. The atmosphere is almost reminiscent of trendy cafés in the world’s biggest cities. But always with that much appreciated Moroccan touch, found in the decor and in the welcome you receive.

Inara Camp
We leave the city behind and head into the Agafay desert for an unforgettable experience. Direction Inara Camp! A stay at Inara Camp is an invitation to escape and marvel in the heart of the Moroccan desert. Set in the golden dunes just a few kilometers from the red city, this luxury camp offers an unforgettable experience in a breathtaking setting.
The elegant, comfortable tents are tastefully decorated and offer a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. At sunset, relax on Berber carpets and admire the magical spectacle of the sky ablaze. The refined cuisine offered by local chefs is an experience in itself, so fine and exquisite is it. Authentic flavours are an absolute pleasure for the taste buds.
When it comes to things to do on site, the choice is vast and boredom is not an option. At Inara Camp, you can relax in your tent or by the pool. But above all, camel rides, desert hikes and evenings under the stars around a campfire.
Inara Camp is the assurance of a luxurious, immersive desert getaway, where every moment is an invitation to discovery and wonder.
