Marrakech
With Atlas Mountain views, Medina panoramas, and sunset cocktails above the souks.
$$$$ The premier rooftop drinking experience in Marrakech. Sits atop a tower above the Hivernage gardens with 360-degree views across the city to the Atlas Mountains. The cocktail list is serious, the service impeccable, and the sunset window (6:30-7:30pm) is worth arriving early for. Reserve the corner table facing south for the best Atlas view. 360 Views
$$$ Named for Marrakech's latitude, this rooftop bar above the Hivernage Hotel occupies a converted water tower. The cylindrical space holds 40 guests maximum, the drinks list runs to 60 cocktails, and the 360-degree wrap-around terrace means every seat has a view. The signature Atlas Old Fashioned uses Moroccan whisky. Book 48 hours in advance for weekend evenings. Intimate
$$ Three floors above the spice market, this Medina rooftop delivers Marrakech's most photogenic sunset. The Koutoubia minaret dominates the western horizon; on clear days, the Atlas stretches the full length of the south. Small plates from the market below; drinks that use local ingredients; a crowd that knows exactly where it is. Our pick for first-night drinks. Photogenic
$$ Six terraced levels above a spice shop, connected by narrow Medina staircases and decorated with lanterns and low Moroccan furniture. The view widens with each floor. Moroccan wine and simple cocktails; the food is authentic and well-priced. Sunset from the top floor is among the city's great free views for the cost of a drink. Multiple Levels
$$$$ The Selman Hotel is a palace built around a working Arabian horse stud in the Palmeraie. Its terrace bar overlooks the paddocks and, beyond them, the Atlas. Champagne and cocktails in the afternoon light, with the sound of horses and fountains providing the soundtrack. A very specific kind of luxury that nobody else in Marrakech offers. Luxury
$$$$ Perched above a palace hotel adjacent to the old royal Kasbah, Le Sultana's rooftop is Marrakech's best-positioned terrace. Looking directly at the restored Bab Agnaou gate and across to the Mellah, it gives a view of the Medina that no other bar can match. The cocktail menu is short but precise. Reserve at least three days ahead in high season. Historic Views
$$$ A working riad hotel built from three interconnected merchant houses, Palais Amani's rooftop terrace overlooks a tangle of Medina rooftops to the Koutoubia. The bar program uses fresh herbs from the hotel's own garden, and the sunset drink package includes a selection of Moroccan tapas. Understated and genuinely beautiful. Fresh Herbs
$$ The most accessible rooftop in Hivernage in terms of price. The views are not the city's best but they are perfectly good, the cocktails are well-made, and the pool deck adjacent to the bar opens until 7pm. A good option for casual sunset drinks before moving on to dinner in the neighbourhood. Accessible
$$$ Non-guests admitted for evening drinks from 5pm. Orange trees in the courtyard below; rooftop above with Atlas views. Champagne and Moroccan rosé are the specialities. The pace is slow and the silence between buildings is striking. One of the few rooftops that maintains a no-music policy after 9pm. Quiet Atmosphere
$$$ The Sofitel Marrakech's rooftop bar combines reliable international hotel quality with a genuinely good city view. Heated in winter; useful in summer for the pool access. The cocktail program includes Moroccan-influenced creations alongside the classics. Staff are multilingual and professional. A dependable choice when everything else is fully booked. Reliable
$ The original rooftop café over the spice market that spawned Nomad. Less polished than its successor but cheaper, less crowded at sunset, and with a view that is functionally identical. Drinks are simple — Flag beer, mint tea, fresh juice — but the terrace fills with a genuinely local crowd of students and young Marrakchis. Original
$$$$ A design hotel built within a walled olive grove in the Palmeraie, Fellah's terrace looks out over the grove toward the Atlas mountains in the east. The bar program includes rare Moroccan spirits, and the sunset light filtering through olive leaves is unlike anything available in the Medina. Worth the 20-minute taxi ride from Gueliz. Rare Spirits
Atay Cafe stacks four floors of lantern-lit seating in the north Medina, topping out at a rooftop with views toward the Ben Youssef mosque and the Atlas. Mint tea, juice and Moroccan plates run all day. Medina Rooftop
The Sky Bar crowns the sixth floor of Bab Hotel in Gueliz, pairing signature drinks and shisha with tapas as golden hour settles over the new town. The lounge below stays open to non-residents. Sky Bar
