Invest in Marrakech. From the decision to the handover.
This guide gathers everything that matters for an international investor: why Marrakech, what to buy, how to finance, what taxation applies, what returns to aim for, how to exit. No jargon, no grey areas.
One of the rare cities that combines yield, quality of life and room to grow.
A tourism flow that does not falter
More than 3 million visitors a year, an extended season from October to June, and an airport doubling its capacity. For a well-positioned property, an annual occupancy rate of 55 to 70% is realistic.
An international buyer base
French, Belgian, Dutch, British, Emirati, MRE. This diversity protects the market from a national shock: a Parisian recession does not bring Marrakech down.
A tight supply dynamic
Demand for apartments +42%, for villas +20% in Marrakech in 2024, while supply contracts. This imbalance pushes prices up and sustainably supports value.
Three products, three strategies. The one that fits you.
Villa with garden and pool
Generous volumes, private outdoor space, pool. High seasonal income if the location allows it. Best for the personal-use + high-end rental combo.
High-end apartment
More accessible to acquire, easier to manage. Strong rental demand in central districts (Hivernage, Guéliz). An excellent compromise of yield versus peace of mind.
Building plot
Titled, serviced lots inside gated communities. You design with our architects, we build. The strongest potential capital gains over 5 to 10 years.
Three ways to make it pay. All documented.
Short-term rental
Airbnb, Booking, dynamic pricing run by Palmease. Variable but high income. Ideal for well-located properties (Hivernage, Palmeraie, tourist districts).
Long-term rental
Fixed monthly rent, vetted tenant, Palmease management. Lower yield but almost zero volatility. Perfect for an investor who wants peace of mind.
Buy and resell
Optimised exit timing, regressive taxation, buyer sourcing from our international base. A long-term wealth strategy.
Ranges drawn from the Palmease managed portfolio. Each property has its own profile — a BNG advisor will send you a tailored simulation within 24 hours.
Cash, Moroccan mortgage, mortgage from your country. Several routes.
Cash payment
The simplest solution, often paired with a discount from us. Transfer from your country via a non-resident convertible account.
- Discount possible up to 5%
- Currency transfer fully tracked
- The fastest process
BNG instalment plan
A plan tailored to the construction schedule. Down payment at signing, payments aligned with milestones, balance at handover. Customisable to your cash flow.
- Moderate down payment
- Smoothed instalments
- Monthly option available
Non-resident mortgage
Some Moroccan banks finance non-residents up to 60–70% of the property. We connect you with our partners and prepare the file.
- Up to 70% financed
- Competitive MAD rates
- File built with you
From your first email to your first rent.
The points that make the difference. Worth knowing before you buy.
Verify the land title
Always insist on seeing the project's master land title. It guarantees your ownership beyond any doubt. Every BNG project is titled.
Pick the right district for the right strategy
A property that performs in seasonal rental is not necessarily the best in long-term. Hivernage, Palmeraie, Route d'Ourika: each area has its own logic. We guide you case by case.
File with Office des Changes from day one
This is the step most individual buyers neglect. Done properly, it unlocks future repatriation of rents and resale proceeds without friction. Included with us.
Treat furnishing as an asset
A well-staged furnished property rents for 20–40% more than the same empty property. Our three furniture packs are designed to maximise rental returns.
Anticipate seasonal vacancy
Seasonal rental is not a smooth river. There are quiet months. A good simulator factors in monthly variations — ours does.
Plan the exit from the start
An investment has an end. When you buy, we already discuss the 5-, 7- or 10-year exit scenario — so the resale is smooth when the time comes.
The real value of full support.
Buying in Marrakech on your own is possible. Doing it right without burning 6 months of your energy is another story. Here is what changes when you go through us.
- Coordinate notary, bank, Office des Changes
- Track construction remotely on your own
- Find an interior designer, a moving company
- Create your listings, manage check-ins from abroad
- Handle the resale, the taxation, the repatriation alone
- A single point of contact, all the time
- Automatic monthly photo/video construction tracking
- Furnishings delivered and staged before you arrive
- Palmease activates the rental from handover
The questions we get asked the most.
Can I buy without ever coming to Morocco?+
Yes. More than 60% of our international clients only come at handover. Notarised power of attorney from your country, virtual tours, remote signing, photo/video construction tracking: everything is designed so you stay home.
Do I need to open a Moroccan bank account?+
Yes, a non-resident convertible account is required for the acquisition and to receive your rents. The process takes 2 to 4 weeks; we connect you with a relationship manager already familiar with BNG files.
What is the minimum budget for a BNG project?+
It varies by project and typology. We have lots accessible to entry-level budgets as well as premium villas. An advisor will frame the order of magnitude in your first video call, without using a generic grid.
Can I use my property personally and rent it out the rest of the time?+
It is the most popular setup with our international clients. You block your personal weeks, Palmease rents the rest. Our simulator accounts for this variable — try it.
How long between signing and handover?+
Between 18 and 30 months depending on the project. Tailored payment schedules smooth this timeline. We deliver on the announced dates — it is a point of honour, and it is verifiable across every one of our previous projects.
What happens if I want to resell in 5 to 7 years?+
We support you on the resale: timing, pricing, light repositioning if useful, buyer sourcing from our international base, notary coordination and repatriation. Many of our resales never hit the open market.
What is the name of your concierge and rental management service?+
Palmease. It is our dedicated brand: short- and long-term rental, 24/7 concierge, dynamic pricing, maintenance, monthly reporting. You receive your net rent without picking up the phone.
Can I meet someone from BNG before committing?+
Of course — and that is what we recommend. Thirty minutes by video or in our Marrakech offices is enough to know whether the project makes sense for you. No commitment.
