Flights to Marrakech + boutique riad: 3 hours away, a world apart
Marrakech is just 3 to 4 hours' direct flight from the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe — from London, Manchester, Dublin, Paris and many more. Return fares often run between €25 and €150 with easyJet, Ryanair, British Airways or Transavia. Riad Vendôme offers accommodation with airport transfer from €70/night. Book your flight and your riad separately — it is almost always cheaper.

Three hours. That's all it takes to leave the French grey behind and land in another world. As you step off the plane, the air is mild, the light golden, and the Riad Vendôme driver is waiting to take you to the heart of the medina. Twenty minutes later, you're seated in a centuries-old patio, a scalding mint tea between your hands, silence all around. Marrakech is the most exotic destination within short-flight range of the UK, Ireland and Europe. And with fares often under €100 return, it is also one of the most accessible.

Why book flight and riad separately?
It's almost always cheaper than flight + hotel packages. You choose the best-value flight (Google Flights alerts are your best ally) and book directly with Riad Vendôme — with no platform commission. Eric takes care of your airport transfer, and you have a single point of contact to organise everything: excursions, spa, desert circuits, restaurants.
From the tarmac to your mint tea in 30 minutes
Marrakech-Menara Airport is 6 km from the property — about 20 minutes by taxi. On arrival, a driver awaits you with your name, drives you in the heart of the medina, and guides you up to the door of the riad. Eric or his team welcomes you with a mint tea and Moroccan pastries. Your bags are already in the room, and the pool and the 36°C heated rooftop jacuzzi are waiting for you. The trip is already a wonderful memory.

Is the airport transfer included?
Yes — the transfer is arranged by Eric. The airport is about 20 minutes from the property (around €15 by private taxi).
Do I need a visa for Morocco?
Most travellers do not: nationals of the EU, the UK, the US, Canada and many other countries need no visa for a tourist stay of up to 90 days, with a passport valid for at least 6 months. Some nationalities do need one, and we issue a free proof of accommodation in under 24 hours for guests who book. Full details on our Morocco tourist visa page.
How long is the flight from New York to Marrakech?
Around 8 to 9 hours from New York, usually with one connection in Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc, which hubs there. There are no non-stop flights from the United States to Marrakech.
Are there direct flights from Canada to Marrakech?
Royal Air Maroc operates seasonal non-stop flights from Montreal to Casablanca, followed by a short 50-minute connection to Marrakech. From other Canadian cities, expect one connection via Casablanca, Paris or Madrid.
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.
Do I have one single contact for the rooms, the activities and the transfers?
Yes. Éric, the owner since 2011, handles the accommodation, the airport transfer and the excursions from a single WhatsApp number, +212 600 608 608, with a written quote within 24 hours. You do not book the riad on one site, the transfer on another and the excursion on a third: the schedule is put together in one go, with an approved licensed transport partner for the road legs.
How do I get from Marrakech-Menara airport to the riad, and how much is it?
Marrakech-Menara is about 20 minutes away. The riad arranges a private transfer with an approved licensed transport partner: €15 by day and €17 at night for 2 guests. The driver waits with a sign and drops you at the car park 100 metres from the door, since the medina alleys are pedestrian, and we meet you there. On a direct booking of 3 nights or more the return transfer is complimentary. Send your flight number to Éric on WhatsApp +212 600 608 608.
Flight Guide: Best Routes from the UK to Marrakech
The UK has excellent direct connectivity to Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK). Key routes and rough pricing in 2026-2027: London Stansted–Marrakech (easyJet, Ryanair) from €25 return in shoulder season; London Luton–Marrakech (easyJet) from €30; London Gatwick–Marrakech (British Airways, Vueling) from €80; Manchester–Marrakech (easyJet) from €35; Birmingham–Marrakech (Ryanair) from €40. Edinburgh runs seasonal routes. From Ireland, Ryanair flies Dublin–Marrakech year-round (from €30 return, ~3h45), with seasonal Cork–Marrakech routes. Flight time is approximately 3h30–3h45 from London, 3h45–4h from Manchester and Dublin.
Reservation tip: the best deals on UK–Marrakech routes open 6–8 weeks before departure on Ryanair and 8–10 weeks out on easyJet. Avoid booking less than 3 weeks out — prices typically spike by 40–60%. For groups, the logistics of coordinating multiple individual bookings is often simplified by using a single departure city and flight — Éric can arrange airport transfers in one or two minivans from Marrakech Menara to the property, which makes arrival much smoother for large groups.
Important: Marrakech-Menara is a compact airport. Immigration queues are long during peak periods (Easter, October half term, Christmas). Factor in 45–60 minutes between landing and clearing arrivals. Add another 20–30 minutes for the taxi or transfer to reach the medina.
