|| Best riads and glampings to stay in Morocco ||
From the most serene, luxurious glamping stays in the beautiful quiet Agafay Desert, to the magical Moroccan riads in Marrakech. There are several top places to enjoy your holiday in Morocco. Marrakech offers authentic Moroccan experiences and the most glorious five star hotels as well, but Agafay desert is a jewel, right next to Marrakech, that you can not skip. There are plenty of desert camps to stay at, but we are sharing three of our favourites with you, as well as our riads.
Disclaimer: we only share accomodations that we have had an experience with ourselves, to give you our most authentic opinion.
Beautiful Stays in Morocco
In 2022, Joe and I started a concept named: Beautiful Stays in Morocco. In this project we broadcast the most beautiful hotels, riads and glampings throughout Morocco. We either chose these partnerships because of their unique design, concept or distinctive interior, to help you find a perfect fit for your stay whenever you will be visiting Morocco. We display these hotels and stays all for your and sum up reasons why they would be a good match to your preferences.
1. Riad Palais Calipau
In May 2022, we visited this beautiful place and because of it's gorgeous interior and location, we are happy share this jewel of Marrakech. Behind one of the many big brown doors in Marrakech, lies the entrance of the beautiful Riad Palais Calipau. Right in the heart of the Cashbah of Marrakech. As you enter a fragrance of woody oriental spices turns a smile up on your face. The magnificent large plants, rotan and wooden details, combined with leather couches, poofs and chairs can be found in every corner. And, when you're done admiring the first impressions, you can get to the stairs and enjoy the marvellous view of their rooftop terrace. A true peaceful getaway in the middle of Marrakech.

Important to keep in mind: It's a very popular riad, which means that last minute bookings might not be in your favour. I highly recommend to book as soon as you have confirmed your ticket to Morocco!
Reasons why this riad is a true match for you:
Excellent breakfast and services
Prices are between: €82 to €148 a night
Spacious pool covered by sunshine
A truly relaxing place that also offers hammam and other services
Terrific wi-fi
2. Riad Dar Bayane
In January 2023, we visited the quite new riad: Riad Dar Bayane, an aesthatically pleasing stay in Marrakech. It is a brand new established riad in Morocco. Did you know that the riad is officially open now for just 5 months? When entering this beautiful gem in Marrakech you will notice how gorgeous every corner is. The details of the riad are just define, from the shape of the doors, to the beautiful rotan lamps and gorgeous Moroccan furniture. It is so serene and quiet, that you almost forget you are right next to the buzzling streets of Marrakech. The riad is divided in 3 floors, with a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy their breakfast. Of all their rooms, we loved their suite the most.

BE Agafay, the most luxurious desert camp in Agafay, Morocco. In February 2023, we visited the quite new desert camp: BE Agafay, an extra ordinary place in Agafay desert.

They have an amazing pool area, which will be an amazing spot during the summer heat to cool off and enjoy a drink or too.

It's one of the most visited camps in Agafay desert. The quality of the food they offer is something else, from their fresh smoothies to the barbecued vegetables and meats.

Their pool is pure tranquility and perfect for those who want to enjoy the views of the desert and Atlas Mountains.
