I've visited Marrakech many times and always stayed in the Medina. As much as I love it, on my last visit I wanted somewhere away from 'Medina madness'.
I ended up at Villa Dinari, and realised just how different life in Marrakech can be, even as a tourist. All the usual bonuses were there - lovely gardens, excellent food, delightful hosts, but the main blessing was that Abdellatif, who owns Villa Dinari with his English wife, Heather, is a professional guide - a very professional one! He took me on a morning's wander around the souk and opened my eyes to so many places that I'd just walked past at other times. He was equally entertaining with his chats over a glass of excellent Moroccan wine at the villa.
I'm working up to one of his trips into the desert to discover the ancient kasbahs and ksars, fortified villages.

Make an effort to see a Berber market outside the big cities of Fes and Marrakech and get away from touts and tourists, while soaking up more of Morocco's great countryside and culture.
30km away from Fes is Sefrou (take a shared 'grand taxi' from Bab Ftouh), where Berbers come from outlying areas to ply their wares at the Thursday souq.
The same distance away from Marrakech, lies the town of Ourika (Dar Caid Ourika) which comes alive on Monday with everything from Berber haircuts to giant haystacks for sale. You can take a bus from behind the tourist police in Marrakech.
In Jemaa el Fna -'the 'big square'- in Marrakech, to the sound of prayer calls from the Koutoubia mosque, local men in pointed djellabas congregate to tell stories among the snake charmers and performing monkeys. The air is filled with intoxicating smells from the exotic food stalls and the spice souks.
The locals are more than happy to chaperone you through the maze of unnamed streets for a few pennies.
Jemaa el Fna, Marrkech Centre - just ask for 'the big square'.

This was a truly amazing experience, and the staff were an assett to Morocco, with african/reggae tones and tunes underlying this vibrant and chilled out Riad. We visited with our two children aged 11 & 17 who were thorougly cherished by all of the staff. We were made to feel welcome from the outset. This Riad comes complete with its very own Bob Marley and Jerry Lewis to name a few of the staff. African decour throughout provided a chillaxed atmosphere, clean and tidy and homely. The home cooked food truly exceptional and the prices even more so. I have not stayed in such a happy enviroment abroad before where the staff are entertaining and laughing all day.

There are plenty spa establishments in Marrakech and you may feel lost trying to find a good one. You won't find than Canal Forme Spa and Beauty Center.
Hammam & massage are about £40 and they have got a wellness swimming pool that does hydro massages. Access to the swimming pool and fitness is £25.
There is a hairstyling salon there too. My wife got a Keratin hair Treatment and I got my hair cut. A beautiful place to go.
