About us

Laurence & Mathias

Your hosts in Marrakech

Laurence and Mathias, the hosts of YZIA Marrakech, in the Agafay desert

Marrakech has been our home for ten years.

We first came to Marrakech as tourists, and ten years ago we made it our home. In 2017, Mathias opened the city's first CrossFit gym, which he ran until 2025.

In 2023, we started welcoming guests into our homes. Today we host them in three private villas just outside the Medina — and soon, a home in the heart of the old city.

We are French, and we speak French and English.

We welcome you ourselves.

Always close by

We do every check-in and every check-out ourselves, and we live close to each home. If anything comes up during your stay, we're there quickly. No concierge company, no key box.

A trusted team

Our housekeeper, pool technician and gardener look after the homes with us. Youssef, our driver, is available 24/7 — punctual, and always ready to help beyond the drive: airport transfers, luggage, a last-minute errand. Trusted cooks can come to prepare a meal at the house, or have one delivered.

Our Marrakech

After ten years here, we're happy to share our favourite addresses: restaurants, evenings out, places for decor and clothes, and all the practical tips that make your stay easier.

Come and stay with us.
