While Marrakech, often called “The Red City,” exudes a unique and captivating energy, it’s worth exploring its surroundings to truly disconnect from the hustle and bustle. Many of the locations in this post are no more than 30 minutes by car from Marrakech, offering the perfect balance for those looking to experience the city during the day and unwind in the evening. Picture yourself returning to the tranquil countryside, a Berber village, or the Agafay desert after a day of exploring. Plus, all the locations featured here offer local activities to enrich your stay.
If you enjoy the “slow travel” philosophy, this selection is for you. Each spot invites you to slow down, unplug, and embrace authentic experiences—because there’s no place for haste when you’re seeking true connection and peace.
Many of these locations also serve as ideal settings for productions, shoots, wellness retreats, or events.
