Organising a hen party (also known as a hen do) in Marrakech is an exciting project but one that requires some preparation. Between flights, accommodation, activities and budget, there are many decisions to make. This practical guide, written by Eric, French owner of Riad Vendôme and who has organised dozens of hen parties since 2013, gives you all the keys to a perfect weekend.
In brief — How to plan a hen party in Marrakech

- Direct booking / WhatsApp: +212 600 608 608
Step 1: Choose Your Dates and Book Flights
When to go? The best periods are October-November and March-May (ideal temperatures 22-28°C, reasonable prices). Winter (December-February) offers low airfares and sunny days at 18-22°C. Summer (June-September) is hot (35-45°C) but prices are at their lowest. No particular constraints during Ramadan — restaurants, bars and cafés operate normally in Marrakech.
Book flights early. Marrakech is served by direct flight from Paris (Orly, CDG, Beauvais), Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Nantes, Bordeaux, Bruxelles and Geneva. The compagnies low-cost (Ryanair, EasyJet, Transavia) offer of the return from €50-80 when booked 2-3 months ahead. The ideal weekend: flight Friday evening, return Sunday evening (3 days/2 nights).
Step 2: Choose Your Accommodation
For a successful hen party, accommodation must be private. Forget the hotel where each person has their own room and you only cross paths at breakfast. The ideal is a private riad in the medina: a shared space, a holiday-homely atmosphere and a terrace for evenings. The Riad Vendôme can be exclusively hired forely from 10 guests with 12 rooms, pool, jacuzzi and spa — perfect for creating memories together.
Budget accommodation: expect €40-80 per person and per night for a private riad with breakfast. It is often cheaper than a classic rental in Marrakech, with the advantage of the service hotelier (housekeeping, breakfast servi, concierge).
Step 3: Plan Your Activities
Don't overload the programme — the group party must stay fun and relaxing. Here are the most popular activities:
The spa: it's the must-do of every hen party in Marrakech. Hammam, scrub, massage, jacuzzi — pure girls-only bliss. Organise treatments in rotation on Saturday morning: groups of 4-6, some in the hammam while others are having massages or in the jacuzzi. No waiting, just pleasure. Budget: €45-65/person for hammam + massage.
Cooking class: learn to prepare a tagine, pastilla or gazelle horns with a Moroccan cook. It's fun and friendly (especially when you have to roll the couscous by hand) and you leave with recipes. Duration: 2-3 hours. Budget: €48/person.
A walk in the souks: the souks of Marrakech are a fascinating labyrinth of colours, scents and negotiations. With a guide, you will discover the hidden workshops and the best addresses for ramener memories (babouches, lanterns, spices). Budget: free (except purchases!).
Agafay desert excursion: 30 minutes from Marrakech, the Agafay desert offers spectacular lunar landscapes. Quad, camel ride, sunset, dinner under the stars — the ultimate "wow" hen party activity. Budget: €40-60/person.
Step 4: Work Out Your Total Budget
| Poste | Low budget | Average Budget | Comfort budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Return flight | 50 € | 100 € | 150 € |
| Accommodation 2 nights | 80 € | 120 € | 180 € |
| Spa (hammam + massage) | 45 € | 65 € | 90 € |
| Food + Nights Out | 40 € | 80 € | 120 € |
| Activities | 0 € | 40 € | 80 € |
| TOTAL / person | 215 € | 405 € | 620 € |
A complete hen party in Marrakech works out at between €200 and €600 per person depending on the level of comfort desired. It is significantly cheaper than a hen party in Ibiza, Lisbon or Amsterdam, for an experience that is far more exotic and memorable.
Essential Practical Tips
Currency: the Moroccan dirham (MAD). €1 ≈ 11 MAD. Bank cards are accepted in tourist riads and restaurants, but plan for cash for the souks and tips. Safety: Marrakech is a very safe city for groups of women. Tourists are respected. Stay in the tourist areas in the evening and avoid isolated alleys late at night. Dress code: Marrakech is cosmopolitan and tolerant, but in the medina, prefer outfits that cover the shoulders and knees. On the riad terrace, you are at home — swimsuits and bikinis are the norm!
The pro tip: for a stress-free hen party, entrust the organisation to your host. At Riad Vendôme, we've organised turnkey hen parties since 2013: transfers, spa, meals, activities, sound system (your playlist), decoration — all you have to do is enjoy it.

What budget should you plan for a hen do in Marrakech?
At Riad Vendôme, budget €200-450/person all-inclusive for 3 days/2 nights. Breakdown: flights €40-80 return, riad + meals + spa €115-300/person, activities €30-80/person. Use the hen party checklist: flights, riad, spa, activities, transfers, spending money.
What currency is used in Marrakech and should you carry cash for a hen party?
Marrakech uses the Moroccan dirham, MAD, at roughly 1 euro to 11 dirhams. Bank cards are accepted in tourist riads and restaurants, but it is best to carry cash for the souks and for tips. Keeping a mix of card and small dirham notes makes shopping and negotiating in the medina much easier.
What is the appropriate dress code in the medina during a hen party trip?
Marrakech is cosmopolitan and tolerant, but in the medina it is best to wear outfits that cover the shoulders and knees out of respect for local custom. On the riad's own terrace, however, you are at home, so swimsuits and bikinis are entirely the norm for relaxing by the pool or jacuzzi.
Where exactly is Riad Vendome located in Marrakech?
Riad Vendome is at 217 Derb El Halfaoui, in the Dar El Bacha district of the Marrakech medina. It is a 7-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fna square, close to the Koutoubia and the souks, so you reach the main sights on foot without needing a taxi. A member of staff meets you at the nearest vehicle drop-off point on arrival.
How do I book, and how quickly do you reply?
You book directly with the riad, not through a platform. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608 and you receive a written quote within 24 hours. There is no automated booking engine: every stay is confirmed by a person, and the payment terms are set out in the quote you receive.
Can the whole riad be privatised, and for how many guests?
Yes, Riad Vendome can be hired exclusively. The main riad has 12 rooms and goes up to 20 rooms with our second riad 100 metres away, for exclusive hire of up to 45 guests. During an exclusive hire there are no other guests: the pool, hammam, jacuzzi and rooftop are reserved for your group alone.
