Home details
Tucked within Marrakech’s historic Kasbah, behind tall ochre walls, Riad Bahae is a serene sanctuary that beautifully merges Moroccan tradition with modern design. Reimagined by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin, this thirteen-bedroom residence revolves around a dramatic central courtyard where vaulted archways frame a tranquil, heated pool surrounded by fragrant greenery and soft linen canopies. Each suite has its own character, many featuring fireplaces, private terraces, or garden access, combining handcrafted zellige mosaics and antique furnishings with contemporary comfort and underfloor heating.
At its heart, the riad’s elegant lounge bar showcases a striking mosaic inspired by Jamaâ El Fna, while the vaulted dining library offers a refined setting for evening gatherings. Crowning the property, a vast rooftop terrace reveals sweeping Medina views, a cocktail bar, and relaxed lounging spaces. With a 200m² spa and attentive staff, Riad Bahae offers a soulful blend of heritage, artistry, and tranquility.

Location:
Riad Bahae sits within Marrakech’s historic Imperial Kasbah, one of the city’s oldest and most distinguished quarters. From here, guests can walk to some of the Red City’s most iconic landmarks. The Saadian Tombs lie just five minutes away, while the ornate Bahia Palace and bustling Jemaa El Fna square are a fifteen-minute stroll through the winding, character-filled lanes of the Medina.
Despite its central setting, the riad offers remarkable tranquillity. The surrounding streets are quieter than many parts of the old town, with beautifully preserved riads, artisan workshops and discreet local cafés dotted throughout. This is an ideal base for travellers looking to immerse themselves in authentic Marrakech, with museums, gardens and spice-filled souks all within easy reach, yet with a private rooftop terrace and spa to return to when the city fades into dusk.

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.
