Content Creator Collaborations at Riad Vendôme & Spa, Marrakech
Riad Vendôme & Spa, a 12-room guesthouse in Dar El Bacha, in the Marrakech medina, reviews proposals from travel bloggers, YouTubers, journalists, photographers and videographers: published content and reusable images, within a written framework agreed before the stay.
In brief
- Profiles: travel bloggers, YouTubers, influencers and content creators, online sites and magazines, journalists and press trips, photographers, videographers, UGC creators; Instagram and TikTok on top.
- What we expect: one blog post or one YouTube video dedicated to the stay, with a link to our website, published within 60 days.
- What the riad can provide: for selected creators, under a written agreement, a preferential room rate and some of the riad's services, depending on the project. No free stay.
- Images: the riad reuses the photos and videos on its website, its Google Business Profile and its social media, with the author credited.
- How to apply: through the form or on WhatsApp, at least 14 days before the dates you have in mind; we reply only to the applications we select.
Who we consider
We consider proposals from travel bloggers, online sites and magazines, YouTubers, journalists and press trip organisers, photographers, videographers and UGC creators who deliver their photos and videos without publishing them. Instagram and TikTok come on top of an article or a video, not instead of one.
There is no minimum number of followers. We look at the quality of your content, your audience and how long what you publish stays useful: a well-ranked blog post or a YouTube video is still read years later, a story disappears in a day.
We do not seek out collaborations, and we turn down most requests. This page sets out our terms: if they suit you, send us your application.
What we expect
The minimum deliverable is one blog post or one YouTube video dedicated to the stay, with a link to our website, published within 60 days of your departure. For UGC creators, it is the agreed photos and videos, delivered to the riad.
The content discloses the collaboration under the rules of your audience's country. The deliverables, the dates and the terms are set in writing before you arrive.
What the riad can provide
For selected creators, under a written agreement: a preferential room rate, breakfast, a dinner, a spa session or the airport transfer, depending on the project. We do not offer free stays.
Every collaboration is different: the agreement depends on your project, the dates and the content planned.
The images we would like and the places to film
These are the images we would love to see, and the places in the riad to film:
- the heated patio pool, at the heart of the house;
- the rooftop where yoga is practised, facing the medina;
- the riad's spa and its massage rooms;
- the traditional hammam;
- the rooftop jacuzzi;
- group tables and the riad on exclusive hire;
- the cooking class with Chef Naima;
- an evening in the Agafay desert;
- the golf courses of Marrakech;
- and, of course, the rooms, each one different.
Usage rights: the riad may reuse the photos and videos from the collaboration on its website, its Google Business Profile and its social media, with your name credited, with no time limit. These rights are set out in the written agreement.
When to apply and when we reply
Send your request at least 14 days before the dates you have in mind. We review every proposal and reply only to the applications we select, within 3 days.
Transparency
Any content published as part of a collaboration, even for a preferential rate or a service provided under the agreement, must be labelled as advertising under the rules of your audience's country (in the UK: a clear “Ad” or “#ad” label, as the ASA and the CMA require). The creator remains responsible for this label.

Frequently asked questions
Which collaboration or partnership proposals do you consider?
At Riad Vendôme & Spa, in Marrakech, we consider collaboration and partnership proposals from travel bloggers, online sites and magazines, YouTubers, journalists, photographers, videographers and UGC creators. We select projects that produce lasting content, an article or a video with a link to our website, and images the riad can reuse.
Do you offer a stay in exchange for content or exposure?
At Riad Vendôme & Spa, in Marrakech, we do not offer a free stay in exchange for content or exposure. For selected creators, under a written agreement, we can grant a preferential room rate and some of the riad's services, depending on the project, the dates and the content planned.
What does the riad provide in return for the content?
The terms are set in writing, for selected creators, depending on the project: a preferential room rate, breakfast, a dinner, a spa session or the airport transfer. There is no free stay and no fee; each agreement depends on the deliverables planned, and nothing is confirmed before the written agreement is signed.
Do you host journalists and press trips?
At Riad Vendôme & Spa, in Marrakech, we host journalists and press trips, on application. Requests go through the same form as for creators, with the name of the publication, the planned story and the dates. We reply to the requests we select and set out the organisation of the stay in writing before arrival.
Do you work with travel bloggers and YouTubers?
Yes, travel bloggers and YouTubers are the profiles we favour at the riad: a blog post or a YouTube video stays online for a long time and helps travellers plan their trip. The minimum deliverable is one article or one video dedicated to the stay, with a link to our website.
Do I need a minimum number of followers to collaborate with the riad?
No, there is no single follower threshold, and micro-influencers can send a project. We look at the quality of your content, your real audience and its country, and how long the publication will stay useful. A well-ranked blog can count for more than a large account on a social network.
Do you accept UGC creators who deliver photos and videos without publishing them?
Yes, on the strength of a portfolio, we accept UGC creators. The photos and videos are delivered to the riad, which uses them on its website, its Google Business Profile and its social media, with your name credited. The number of images, the formats and the usage rights are set in writing before the stay.
What content, what publication deadline, and who owns the rights to the photos and videos?
The minimum deliverable is one blog post or one YouTube video dedicated to the stay, with a link to our website, published within 60 days of your departure. You remain the author of your images; the riad may reuse them on its website, its Google Business Profile and its social media, with the author credited, with no time limit.
Do I need to disclose the collaboration in the published content?
Yes. Any content published as part of a collaboration with the riad, even for a preferential rate or a service set out in the written agreement, must be labelled as advertising under the rules of your audience's country; in the UK, with a clear “Ad” or “#ad” label at the start, as the ASA and the CMA require. The creator remains responsible for this label, which we restate in the agreement.
How do I send my collaboration request and how quickly do you reply?
Send your request through the form on this page or on WhatsApp with the prepared message, including the link to your blog, website or channel, your audience, your media kit and your dates. Please write at least 14 days before the dates you have in mind. We reply only to the applications we select, within 3 days.
