Every year, Marrakech becomes the beating heart of world cinema. The Marrakech International Film Festival attracts international stars, award-winning directors, journalists, film enthusiasts and visitors from all walks of life. During these few days, the Red City dresses itself in glamour, art and emotion, transforming its medina, hotels and palaces into genuine cinematic stages.
And what if there were an even more magical way to experience this event?
At BillyStays, we believe a prestige stay is the natural complement to a festival of this scale. Our luxury villas in Marrakech, spacious, modern and perfectly equipped, offer the ideal setting to enjoy the festival in the utmost comfort.

Over several days:

The biggest stars walk the red carpet
