Short Term Rentals

The right Marrakech area for a short term rental depends on three things. Those are the guest you plan to host, the property you can realistically run, and whether tourist letting is allowed at that exact address. No single area suits every buyer. Riads in the Medina, apartments in Gueliz or Hivernage, family units in…

There is no single Airbnb occupancy rate for Marrakech in 2026 because the main data providers use different listings, periods, and calculation methods. AirDNA reports 50% average occupancy for the trailing twelve months to July 2026, based on available nights across Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com listings. AirROI reports 37.6% average occupancy for August 2025 to…

Neither strategy wins automatically in Marrakech. Whether short stay tourist accommodation or long term residential rental works better depends on the actual property, its exact location, whether the intended use is permitted, the realistic net income after every cost, the management effort you can accept, your personal use plans and your tolerance for risk. Short…

Marrakech Airbnb management fees are usually advertised as a percentage of rental revenue, and 20% is the most commonly published figure among managers who show their prices. However, the rates published across a small sample of local companies range from 15% to 30%, so the headline percentage alone does not tell you what you will…

Airbnb can still be profitable in Marrakech in 2026, but the profit depends far more on the individual property than on the city itself. Marrakech remains Morocco’s strongest tourism market, yet listing supply has grown much faster than average revenue per listing. High booking revenue does not mean strong net profit. A Marrakech apartment can…

Long term rentals are available in Tangier, Morocco, and asking prices vary by area, property type, furnishing, building quality, and contract length. Adverts checked in August 2026 showed unfurnished apartments from around 3,000 dirhams a month. Furnished family apartments in central and coastal areas asked between roughly 7,000 and 20,000 dirhams. However, the advertised rent…

Long term rentals are available in Essaouira, Morocco, but prices vary by area, property type, furnishing, condition, contract length, and season. Adverts reviewed in August 2026 showed monthly asking prices from about 3,500 dirhams to about 25,000 dirhams. Small city apartments sat at the lower end of that range. Large furnished villas outside town sat…

  Foreigners can rent a home in Casablanca on a normal long term lease, and the usual process involves a written agreement, a security deposit, and proof of identity. On 10 August 2026, across 77 usable adverts I inspected on two Moroccan listing platforms, monthly asking rents ran from 2,900 to 11,400 dirhams depending on…

As of 9 August 2026, the rounded middle asking rent bands for ordinary long term one and two bedroom apartments across the six Moroccan cities reviewed run from about 3,000 MAD to 18,500 MAD per month. MAD means Moroccan dirhams. This broad span is not a national average because rent changes substantially with the city,…

Airbnb can be profitable in Morocco, but only if the purchase price, location, legal setup, and running costs all make sense together. A tourist city and a pretty property do not automatically create a profitable rental. In practice, results depend on the exact area, the price you pay, realistic occupancy, empty nights, management fees, cleaning,…
