The 10 Best Hotels in Morocco to Book in 2024
Caravan Agafay Morocco
Whether you’re planning your first trip to Morocco or your fifth, these hotels in Morocco are sure to inspire your travels to the North African country. The curated list of the best hotels in Morocco below is the result of both our planning in 2023 to visit Marrakech for the first time, as well as our 2024 planning to return to Morocco.
Although I fell in love with the red city of Marrakech, when planning our 2024 trip back to Morocco, I felt tugged to discover a different part of the country. I began my research by simply looking for an amazing hotel in the country to guide my travels, hence the list below.
Our curated list of the best hotels in Morocco to book in 2024 includes properties within proximity to Marrakech (to see our favorite riads in Marrakech, head here), adventurous desert camps in Agafay and throughout Morocco, and beachside hotel destinations in Morocco including hotels in Essaouira, Tangier and Dakhla Lagoon.

✤ 1) Berber Lodge (Outside of marrakech)
From the Reviews: If possible, I would give Berber Lodge a 15 instead of a 10! We started and ended our holiday here and we really loved the combination of the authentic atmosphere in combination with the outstanding comfort. The super kind staff is very dedicated to the guests and to the property, which is maintained excellent. Breakfast was delicious, and the restaurant serves high quality meals with excellent wines both for very reasonable prices. The owner of the hotel, Mr Romain, went beyond expectations! Again, the accommodation is authentic and yet incredibly comfortable. Beds are amazing. Everything is so clean. I can't think of anything that Mr Romain could do better. We will be back for sure!

We had a very nice time because they made sure everything was perfect! Samy and his kite team are incredible and really pushed this above ⬆️ our expectations! When you break up your day between lessons, meals and pool time time just flies when you’re having a good time! The chef and his kitchen staff create magic! As a foodie the idea of full board hotel scares me — but do not worry. The food is a la carte and you can choose from a variety of incredible meals. The chef build an amazing menu with daily additions depending on what fish was caught! The fresh oysters and ceviche were unparalleled!!
