Home details
Tucked within the Marrakech medina, Riad Mentha is a beautifully restored retreat with serene courtyards, vibrant flowers, and a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains. With six en-suite bedrooms for up to thirteen guests, it’s perfect for groups or celebrations. Guests are looked after by a dedicated team of three, with breakfast included and additional meals prepared on request by the riad’s talented cook. The house combines tradition and comfort, blending antiques, local craftsmanship, and characterful art with modern touches such as Egyptian cotton linens and high-quality mattresses.
Behind its modest entrance, Mentha reveals a peaceful haven with a pool, hammam, and massage facilities for total relaxation. The roof terrace is an inviting sun trap, ideal for unwinding with views across the medina rooftops. Brahim, the attentive manager and concierge, can arrange excursions to the mountains, desert, or coast, as well as activities from golf to restaurant reservations, ensuring a seamless and memorable stay.

Location:
Riad Mentha is in the very heart of the old town or medina, about five minutes walk from the big square and the souks. Despite this it is very peaceful and tranquil. The derb it sits on is too narrow for cars so there is no traffic noise. There is a team of drivers to collect guests from the airport or station, and Brahim is on hand to guide guests to the house - tricky at first as the medina is like a rabbit warren!
Fishing, ski-ing and golf are all readily available - Brahim can arrange trips for all of them, and also white-water rafting, hot air ballooning, beach, and desert overnight trips. There is parking about five minutes away.

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.
