The Neighborhood
Gueliz is walkable. That’s its biggest selling point. You can get a coffee, buy groceries, eat lunch, visit a gallery, and meet friends for drinks without ever getting in a car. In a city where most luxury neighborhoods require driving everywhere, that’s worth something.
Property in Gueliz
The market is primarily apartments:
- Studios to 3-bedroom units in mid-rise buildings.
- Penthouses and duplexes with rooftop terraces.
- Some mixed-use properties with retail or office space on the ground floor.
Villas are rare in Gueliz. If you want a house with a garden, you’ll find better options in Targa, the Palmeraie, or Route de Ourika.
Prices per square meter are lower than Hivernage and much lower than the Palmeraie. For a quality 2-bedroom apartment in a good building, Gueliz offers some of the best value in central Marrakech.
Investment Profile
Gueliz works for investors because the demand base is broad. Tourists book short-term stays. Expats and professionals take long-term leases. Business travelers need corporate apartments. Remote workers stay for months at a time. That diversity means you’re not dependent on any single tenant type or tourism season.
Entry prices are accessible, which means the numbers work even at moderate rent levels. And the area is still developing: new restaurants, galleries, and coworking spaces keep opening, which supports gradual price appreciation.

Yield Comparison
A quick comparison. A 2-bedroom apartment in Gueliz costs a fraction of what a Palmeraie villa does. The rental yield as a percentage of purchase price is often competitive, sometimes better, because Gueliz has year-round demand while luxury villas depend more on seasonal tourism. The total income per unit is lower, obviously, but the entry cost is too. That makes it a good fit for buyers who want to start with a smaller investment or diversify across multiple units.
