Romantic Riads

A riad is a traditional Moroccan home; for a truly authentic city break, book a stay in a riad in Morocco, moments from the bustling Medina, it’s a wonderful way to experience the best of Moroccan life and architecture.

Rooms are inward facing and built around a central courtyard, at the heart lies a fountain or small pool, surrounded by sweet scented flowers and fruit trees.  These beautiful houses are usually incredibly ornate in design, with intricate zellije tiles, beautiful arches, hand painted ceilings, and colourful, marble-like tadelakt bathrooms.

Riads also have wonderful flower-filled roof terraces, where in warmer months, meals are often served and there is plenty of space to relax and sunbathe whilst taking in the views over the rooftops of the Medina.

Despite having stayed in an abundance of riads over many years of visiting Morocco, we are still always astounded by how relaxing and peaceful these charming properties are. After a busy day exploring, it’s always a joy to come home and unwind in your riad. Sip a refreshing glass of mint tea in the cool courtyard and listen to the birdsong and the gently tinkling fountain, before enjoying a romantic meal by candlelight.

Many of these traditional homes have been converted into charming small boutique hotels in Marrakech and Essaouira, and Mint Morocco offer some stunning riads to suit all budgets.  Although riads are undeniably romantic, they are also absolutely perfect for a special occasion for larger groups. We can help you book exclusive use of a whole riad in Morocco for an exceptional and unique event or celebration. Alternatively, for group stays, the larger private villas we feature are a superb choice.
