Palmeraie, Marrakech

The Palmeraie is Marrakech’s historic palm grove, a few minutes north of the city. It is where some of the city’s most private estates sit behind long walls: villas set on one to three hectares, Moorish patios, and gardens of olive trees and date palms that have been growing for more than fifty years. In its first report on Marrakech’s prime residential market (May 2026), Knight Frank describes the northern Palmeraie and the Route de Casablanca as the most discreet segment of the market, where most transactions happen off-market. Stella-Gallery has followed these houses for years, from Bill Willis-era family homes to contemporary villas, for sale and for seasonal rental.
