Turnkey desert circuits for travel agencies
Alongside the stay in Marrakech, we coordinate multi-day desert circuits for your groups, from north to south across Morocco. The flagship product is the 7-day Fez to Marrakech desert tour: arrival in Fez, Ifrane and the Ziz valley, the Merzouga dunes and an overnight desert camp, the Todra gorges, the kasbah road and Aït Ben Haddou, then two nights at Riad Vendôme & Spa in the Marrakech medina and a day trip to Essaouira.
What we handle for you (B2B):
— A single point of contact in Marrakech, and a fixed anchor point for your clients at the riad.
— Circuit coordinated in collaboration with our licensed transport partner: private air-conditioned vehicle, professional driver, official guides.
— Private departures from 4 people or small group, twin rooms as standard, other configurations on request.
— Almost all-inclusive on the ground (flights excluded): accommodation, main meals, camel ride, transfers and local taxes.
— Trade rates on request, personalised quote within 24 h, options bookable on the spot (cooking class, spa, quad, buggy, guided hike).
— Same principle applied to our other desert programmes: Merzouga + Zagora 4 days, Grand South 4x4, Merzouga 3 days.
Full day-by-day programme, distances, what is included and what is not: see the detailed Fez to Marrakech desert tour page. Riad Vendôme & Spa acts as facilitator and anchor point, in collaboration with a licensed transport partner.
Logistics & transport

Group Rates for Travel Agencies and Tour Operators
For tour operators & the travel trade
As a Marrakech receptive agency and DMC, Riad Vendôme is the partner tour operators and travel agencies rely on: exclusive riad hire, site inspections on request, a single point of contact and full control of delivery on the ground. Net rates for the travel trade are available on request — send us your dates and group size for a tailored proposal in your agency's language. You keep the relationship with your client; we are your execution partner in Marrakech.
Indicative rates per person. Each quote is personalised according to your dates, group size and services required. By working directly with us, without a local intermediary, your agency benefits from more competitive rates. Detailed quote within 24 hours.
Direct contract, net rates and allotment
We contract directly with the agency: no aggregator, no third-party booking desk, no commission layer between your file and the house. Practically, that means a direct contract signed with the riad, confirmed net rates you resell at your own margin, and an allotment of rooms held for your season if your volume justifies it. As a destination management company and ground handler in Marrakech, we also act as your local partner on the ground: airport meet-and-greet, licensed transport, official guides, restaurant and activity bookings, and one single point of contact who answers in your working hours. Payment terms, deposit and cancellation conditions are written into the quote — nothing is left to a platform's general terms.

Structured Eco-Responsible Approach for Your Audits
For travel agencies and tour operators with sustainability commitments — Travelife, Green Key, GSTC, Booking Sustainable, or internal CSR audits — Riad Vendôme offers a transparent and verifiable eco-responsible programme that supports your audit documentation.
Eco-responsible commitments since 2011 — verified and documented
— 15 kWh photovoltaic solar installation: -70% grid electricity consumption (documented by before/after utility bills)
— Thermal and acoustic wall + ceiling insulation: uncommon in traditional Moroccan riads, significantly reducing heating and cooling needs
— Traditional terracotta rooftop: naturally low thermal conductivity
— 100% LED lighting throughout the riad
— 100% local Moroccan fair-wage staff: above local hospitality standard, full CNSS social benefits, several team members since 2011
— Daily local sourcing from Lalla Aicha souk (zero-mile food)
— Lime plaster (tadelakt) walls: breathable, non-toxic, made by local craftsmen
— Water-saving fixtures in all bathrooms and hammam
— Certifications in progress: Go Siyaha (Moroccan Ministry of Tourism) and Green Key (FEE international, recognised in 65+ countries)
Your audit team can verify these commitments on-site during any pre-event inspection. Eric Guyomard, owner, can provide a detailed environmental fact-sheet on request via WhatsApp for your CSR documentation — including comparative utility bills, photos of solar installation, fair-wage staff contracts (anonymised), and local sourcing invoices.
This eco-responsible approach is particularly valuable for incentive programmes from Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland), the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the Netherlands, and the UK, where corporate clients increasingly require documented sustainability metrics for their travel programmes. Several of our recurring agency partners cite our RSE programme as a deciding factor when selecting Moroccan venues for their B2B clients.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions from travel agencies
What is the group capacity at Riad Vendôme Marrakech?
Riad Vendôme operates across 2 riads with a combined capacity of 20 rooms, accommodating 15 to 40 people with full exclusive hire. Both riads are managed by Éric — single contact, same service, Dar El Bacha neighbourhood.
What services are included in your DMC offer?
Private riad accommodation, catering (breakfast, half-board, full-board), activities (cooking class, spa, excursions), airport and intercity transfers, multilingual licensed guides. A single point of contact coordinates everything.
Do you offer specific rates for travel agencies?
Yes. Indicative rates from €35/person/night for 30+ people and from €50/person/night for groups of 10. By working directly with us, without a local intermediary, your agency benefits from more competitive rates. Personalised quote within 24 hours.
What activities can you organise for a group in Marrakech?
Cooking class with Chef Naima (5/5 Google), private hammam and spa, desert excursions (Agafay, Merzouga, Grand South), golf (11 courses), yoga, team building, festive evenings with musicians and shows.
What is your advantage compared to a traditional DMC?
Unlike a traditional DMC, we own our accommodation. The agency deals with a single contact for accommodation, activities and logistics. No local intermediary = more competitive rates. Less coordination, less risk, better responsiveness.
How does transport work for groups?
Air-conditioned vehicles from 7 to 50 seats for airport transfers and intercity excursions (Essaouira, Ouarzazate, desert). Licensed multilingual tourist guides available for all circuits.
Can you host a corporate seminar?
Yes, 80+ seminars per year. Equipped meeting room, high-speed wifi, all-inclusive packages from €600 to €1,500/night depending on participants. Integrated team building activities.
Do you handle groups in multiple languages?
Yes — our website and all guest information (rates, programmes, FAQ) are fully translated and localised in 11 languages (French, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish), so your clients can prepare their stay in their own language. For excursions and tours, guides are available in 6 languages — a real advantage for European agencies sending mixed-nationality groups to a Marrakech DMC.
How quickly can you provide a group quote?
Personalised quote sent within 48h. Direct contact with Éric, French owner on site since 2011. WhatsApp: +212 600 608 608
Why book through Riad Vendôme rather than an intermediary DMC?
Because we own the venue and run the receptive services ourselves: one single point of contact, no subcontracting, full control of delivery. More than 500 events organised since 2013, a detailed quote in your agency's language, and you fully keep the relationship with your client — Riad Vendôme is your execution partner in Marrakech (Marrakech DMC / MICE Morocco).
Are you a tour operator?
No. Riad Vendôme is a receptive agency / DMC and accommodation provider in Marrakech, not a tour operator. We work hand-in-hand with tour operators and travel agencies as their partner on the ground, and direct booking is also possible for individual guests.
Do I need to go through a tour operator to book?
No. You can book directly with Riad Vendôme, for an individual stay or for a group. Tour operators and travel agencies are welcome to work with us as partners, but there is no obligation to go through an intermediary.
Do you offer net rates for the travel trade?
Yes. Net rates for travel agencies, tour operators and the travel trade are available on request. Send us your dates and group size and we reply within 24 hours with a tailored proposal in your agency's language.
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 contract directly with the riad, not through an OTA or an aggregator: one single point of contact from the first enquiry to the invoice. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608 and you receive a written quote, at our net rate, 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.

Golf Receptive Services for Groups & Travel Agencies in Marrakech
As a Marrakech-based DMC, Riad Vendôme organises turnkey golf trips for groups, golf clubs, corporate committees and specialist travel agencies. We privatise the riad for golf parties of up to 20 players (with our partner riad), arrange grouped green fees and tee-times across the 11 championship courses around Marrakech, handle private transfers riad–course, and give you a single point of contact for the whole stay — one quote, one invoice, one coordinator. Agencies keep their margin; clubs get a hassle-free package; players get an authentic medina base instead of a soulless resort. See our all-inclusive group golf stay (10+ players) and our guide to the 11 Marrakech golf courses.
Yoga Retreat Receptive Services for Teachers & Studios in Marrakech
Riad Vendôme supports yoga teachers and studios who want to bring their own group to Marrakech and run a turnkey retreat. We privatise the riad for your students (up to 20 with our partner riad), provide a dedicated rooftop practice space with mats and props, and prepare vegetarian or tailor-made meals with Chef Naima. We also arrange the extras that make a retreat memorable — an Agafay desert excursion, recovery hammam and massages, private transfers and full coordination. You teach; we handle the logistics and your students’ accommodation. See our dedicated yoga teacher & group retreat service (practice in our rooftop yoga shala & spaces).
Our group expertise also covers stag weekends and exclusive riad hire for groups of 15 to 40, each with full receptive coordination.
DMC partner for MICE programmes. Beyond DMC services, Riad Vendôme acts as a corporate venue itself — 500+ professional events since 2013 with Andbank Monaco (3 nights via agency), Absys Cyborg, Groupama and 6 other corporate references. View capacity and organisation logistics →
