Of course, Marrakech is first exceptional for its riads. Actually, to purchase a riad, you have to be living in the historic city, the Medina of Marrakech. The sale of riads as first home or as guest house is still popular. After steadily falling, the prices have levelled off and it is time for the purchasers to take advantage of these real estate opportunities.
The villas and the exceptional residences are also on the list of the most sought-after prestigious properties. The villas are generally situated either inside complexes with or without a golf - BARNES offers a selection of superb properties facing a golf and overlooking the Atlas – or in calmer areas, generally some architect villas on splendidly wooded plots of land of 5,000 up to 10,000 sqm.
The most renowned villa complexes with a golf are Amelkis, Al Maaden and Royal Palm golf courses. For remote villas on large plots of land and for the beautiful contemporary or Moroccan houses, a large choice is offered on the Road through the Ourika, Amizmiz Road, or roads to Fez and Ouarzazate. For exceptional residences which may reach 1,300,000 euros up to 25 million euros, the luxury mile with the prestigious villas is the Palm Grove district or the circuit of the Palm Grove, but also those of Dar Tounsi, Douar Abiad at the Palm Grove, Ksar Charbagh and a little further away the district of Bab Atlas.
Last, for budgets between 100,000 up to 1,000,000 euros, you will have the choice to invest in some apartments with, or without a swimming pool, of contemporary or Moroccan style. The district to purchase luxury and prestige apartments is first and foremost the one of l’Hivernage, then Guéliz and for apartments with garden and swimming pool the district of the Palm Grove, the golf residences and the Agdal.
