Marrakesh, Morocco
Minutes from the Medina
We like the simplicity, subtlety and authentic old-world charm of this traditional riad. Paired with an understated modern update, the house still celebrates the colorful heritage and flavor of Marrakesh.
Located just a few minutes from the heart of the Medina, this traditional riad is a serene and sophisticated home that honors its traditional roots and architectural style while infusing it with refined, contemporary character.
As with most riads, the spaces are composed of vertical wrap around profile that provides a spacious and intimate environment as well as bright open spaces arranged around an interior courtyard. Updated with a light touch and an eye for detail, the interiors are an inspired synthesis of traditional and contemporary design with earthy concrete finishes, a cool neutral palette and a simple and understated mix of authentic Moroccan and custom designer furnishings and decor.
The living and dining areas are bright and cozy and include a large gourmet kitchen that opens out to the outdoor lounge areas and courtyard. With four completely renovated en-suite bedrooms, the house can sleep up to eight. The inward focus and proportions make the courtyard the calm and cool central lounging and dining area while a spacious and private rooftop terrace allows for sunbathing, lounging and great sky view dining.
Fresh, bright and stylish, this home has undergone a subtle but chic transformation that delivers the best of contemporary and traditional style.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Wifi throughout, Smart TV and DVD player. Housekeeping and laundry facilities with optional cook, concierge and tour services. Airport transfers available and recommended.
AROUND
The famed Medina is a short drive into the vibrant heart of the souks, markets and cafes. The nearby Atlas Mountains are ideal for day trips and the three hour drive to the Atlantic coast is worth the trip for the UNESCO World Heritage Site of El Jadida, a fortified former Portuguese colony that features both western and eastern influences. The laid-back beach town of Essaouira, with sandy-colored ramparts, whitewashed avenues, French-style piazzas and fishing port, is just south of the iconic city of Casablanca.
