Property rental Marrakech

Discover the finest long-term rentals in Marrakech with BARNES.

Every year, expatriates, executives and international families choose to rent long-term in Marrakech, for the length of an assignment, a school year or a first move before buying. Does that sound like you? BARNES opens up a selection of furnished villas, apartments and riads, ready to live in, in the city's most sought-after residential districts.

The long-term rental market in Marrakech

On the long-term rental market in Marrakech, demand comes from a discerning international clientele, relocated, on assignment or settled for the long run, who want a turnkey home in the right location. Rental stock, far thinner than for sale, breaks down area by area. Villas with a garden and pool cluster in the Palmeraie and around the golf courses, high-end apartments in Guéliz and Hivernage, restored riads in the Medina. At the prestige end, the scarcity of large villas to rent keeps rents firm and sustains demand that outstrips supply.

Which district should you rent in Marrakech?

For your rental in Marrakech, several districts with distinct characters are open to you, from the calm of the palm groves to the buzz of the new town.

The Palmeraie

North of the city, the Palmeraie lines up villas and private estates beneath century-old palms, close to the golf courses and grand hotels such as the Palais Namaskar. Here you rent space, quiet and a garden, fifteen minutes from the centre.

Hivernage

An upmarket residential district lined with palaces and restaurants, Hivernage is one of the rare parts of Marrakech where you live on foot. Its high-end apartments appeal to those who want to stay close to the Medina and the Royal Theatre.

Guéliz

At the heart of the new town, Guéliz and its Carré d'Or concentrate shops, galleries and terraces along Avenue Mohammed V, a step from the Majorelle Garden. Its renovated apartments suit those who prefer urban buzz and services on the doorstep to the space of a villa.

The Medina

In the historic core, the Medina holds the traditional riads around Jamaa El Fna square and the souks. Here you rent an authentic interlude, behind discreet façades that open onto planted patios.

Agdal and the golf courses

To the south and east, Agdal and the resorts of Amelkis golf or Royal Palm offer a green, secure setting, prized by families who want space without moving away from the international schools.

Why rent in Marrakech?

For an international resident, renting long-term in Marrakech means enjoying close to 300 days of sunshine a year and a cost of living well below that of a major European city. Renting also brings the freedom to settle quickly, switch district or test an area without the cost or the delays of a purchase.

Furnished rental fits these paths shaped by an assignment or a school year. You choose your district by the children's school, from the Lycée Français Victor Hugo to the international schools, free to move on at the next lease without the weight of a purchase. The proximity of Marrakech-Menara airport, ten to fifteen minutes from the centre, matters just as much for executives and part-time residents who rent for the length of their stay.

What does it cost to rent in Marrakech?

Rent depends above all on the property type and the district, with a clear gap between an apartment in the new town and a villa with a garden in the Palmeraie. For a small furnished apartment, the monthly budget starts at a few hundred euros, while a large villa with a pool and household staff runs into several thousand. Between the two, restored riads in the Medina and high-end apartments in Hivernage cover a wide range depending on size, floor and level of finish. Our consultants price your project precisely, property type by property type, from our recent references by area.
