MARRAKESH
Marrakesh-Safi • Morocco

A perfectly imperfect fusion of luxury and simplicity. The softest hug between chaos and peace. Listen to the sizzle of tagine cooking over an open flame and lose yourself in the world of intense flavors, sounds, and vibrant colors - the ultimate dream for any photographer. This is Marrakesh.

Feel the sun caress your skin while you sip hot mint tea on a rooftop café in the bustling Medina. Whether you're daydreaming of your next winter escape or simply indulge in photographs of this authentic Moroccan city, let yourself be swept away by its magic.

The Medina

The architectural richness, the labyrinth of souks, traditional and modern carpets, each of them a masterpiece. A perfectly organised chaos that never seemed to change over the years. The Medina of Marrakesh is the oldest part of the city. More than a place it’s a feeling. A feeling that can’t be compared to anything else I’ve experienced before.

Riad El Ouarda

A unique stay: This luxurious, quiet oasis is just what you need after a day walking around the busy streets of Marrakesh. Aromatic smells, a beautiful indoor pool, spacious, well decorated rooms and a golden bathroom. Observe the city coming to life while indulging in a homemade, delicious breakfast on the rooftop terrace. A sensory experience you can’t miss…

Jardín Majorelle

Eye candy: The Jardín Majorelle is one of the most enchanting and mysterious gardens of Morocco and full of exotic, botanical specimens. Get inspired by the endless unique colours and shapes, just like Yves Saint Laurent, who purchased it in 1980.

LRNCE Studio

LRNCE is a Marrakesh based lifestyle brand focusing on interior decoration and accessories. Visit the studio to admire and/or shop some of Laurence Leenaert’s unique creations. My personal favourites are her rugs, mirrors and ceramics…

La Famille

La Famille is the ideal address for lunch in the shade of the lemon trees. Veggie and ultra-fresh, the menu here changes every day. This women-run restaurant provides the perfect place to unwind and get inspired. My personal favourites: treating myself with their vegetarian pizza and homemade raspberry cake and purchasing the cutest ceramics in their boutique corner.

Spend a night in this unique dome house in the desert, just 40 minutes from Marrakesh. Read more
