Nestled in the heart of Marrakech Medina, Riad Medina offers a serene retreat where tradition meets comfort. Originally purchased in 2001, the riad was later expanded to include adjoining houses, a stunning douiria, and a rare terrace with a swimming pool. Thoughtfully restored by a skilled architect, the riad retains its Arab-Andalusian charm while introducing modern touches. Guests can enjoy junior suites, intimate salons, a hammam, massage room, and rooftop terraces with sweeping views of the medina and Atlas Mountains.
The riad’s suites are beautifully styled, from the romantic Glaoui Suite with its private staircase to the Mogodor Suite featuring an open-air bathroom. Meals prepared by Rachida, the talented cook, highlight Moroccan flavors with French and vegetarian options available. Guests may also join a cooking class, relax with traditional spa treatments, or unwind on the patio with mint tea. Every detail is designed to ensure a memorable and restful stay.
The property is run as a hotel or guesthouse, and guests will only have exclusive use of the entire accommodation if both the Riad and the Douiria are booked, this is reflected in the 12-person rate.
For bookings of fewer than 12 people, the property reserves the right to accept additional reservations for the remaining rooms. In this case, the pool and outdoor areas may be shared with other guests.
Please also note that the hammam and massage room are located in the Douiria and will be shared if there are other guests staying at the property.

Marrakech’s vibrant spirit will captivate you, from the winding alleys of the medina to the wide boulevards of Gueliz. Museums, galleries, lush gardens, and creative spaces invite exploration, while the souks buzz with color, energy, and lively bargaining. At the city’s heart, Jemaa el Fna transforms into an open-air stage filled with musicians, dancers, storytellers, and performers, best enjoyed with a drink from a rooftop terrace. Nearby, historic landmarks such as the Ben Youssef Mosque, Place de la Kissaria, and architectural gems like Bahia Palace and Le Jardin Secret showcase the city’s rich heritage.
Beyond the medina, adventures abound. Visitors can journey into the Atlas Mountains for 4x4 excursions, camel rides, and trips to Berber villages, or marvel at natural wonders like the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Hot air balloon flights, day trips to Essaouira or Ouarzazate, golf outings, and spa retreats add to the many ways to experience Marrakech and its surroundings.

About the area
Marrakesh, a city steeped in history and culture, is a kaleidoscope of color and sensory delights, making it an essential stop for any traveler to Morocco. Known as the Red City for its blush-colored walls and buildings, Marrakesh is a place where ancient traditions seamlessly blend with modern energy.
The heart of Marrakesh is the Djemaa el-Fna, a bustling square that comes alive with storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, and food vendors as the sun sets. This UNESCO World Heritage site is an open-air theater that captivates the imagination and provides a glimpse into the vibrant street life of Morocco.
Surrounding the square is the Medina, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways and souks that offer everything from spices and textiles to intricate jewelry and leather goods. Shopping in the Medina is not just a transaction; it's an art form, where haggling is expected and adds to the experience.
Marrakesh is also renowned for its stunning architecture and gardens. The Koutoubia Mosque, with its iconic minaret, dominates the city skyline and serves as a point of reference for travelers navigating the city. The Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs are exquisite examples of Moroccan architecture, showcasing intricate tile work and ornate carvings.
For a respite from the city's hustle and bustle, the Majorelle Garden offers a tranquil oasis. Created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, the garden is a masterpiece of botanical beauty, with exotic plants and vibrant blue accents.
Culinary adventurers will find Marrakesh's food scene to be a delight. Traditional dishes such as tagine and couscous are served in both street stalls and upscale restaurants, providing a taste of the country's rich culinary heritage. The city's riads, traditional Moroccan houses with interior courtyards, often offer cooking classes for those interested in learning the secrets of Moroccan cuisine.
For a truly immersive experience, visitors can stay in one of these riads, many of which have been converted into boutique hotels. These accommodations provide a unique blend of Moroccan hospitality and luxury, often featuring beautifully decorated rooms and rooftop terraces with views of the city.
In essence, Marrakesh is a city that engages all the senses. Its vibrant culture, historic landmarks, lush gardens, and tantalizing cuisine make it a destination that offers an unforgettable journey into the heart of Morocco.
