Riad Africa

Nestled in Marrakech's medina between El Fetouaki and the Mellah, this family-friendly riad sits a short walk from Mellah Market and just minutes from El Badi Palace. Jemaa el‑Fna and the Koutoubia Mosque are within easy walking distance, and Menara Airport is roughly 5–6 km away.

A beautifully refurbished, first‑category guesthouse with opulent Moroccan décor and rooms themed after Africa's destinations. The riad offers 15–16 air‑conditioned rooms with flat‑screen/LCD TVs, iPod docks, bathrobes and slippers, hair dryers, safes and coffee/tea makers; some units are accessible. Shared spaces include a palm‑filled courtyard, tropical roof garden and panoramic rooftop terraces with partial views of El Badi and the Koutoubia.

Chill around one of the largest plunge pools in the medina (heated plunge pool) or unwind on the private roof terrace and garden. On‑site massages and a massage/treatment room, a nearby hammam, sauna and spa services keep relaxation on the menu. Other perks: a juice bar, barbecue area, library, bar/lounge, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and a 24‑hour roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge applies).

High‑speed wireless internet is available throughout the riad. A computer station, dry cleaning/laundry, multilingual staff, concierge and a tour desk make short stays and work needs easy to manage.

An on‑site restaurant serves Moroccan dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a complimentary buffet breakfast served daily from 8–10 AM. Room service is available during limited hours, and rooftop dining or a drink at the bar/lounge are great for evening views. Plenty of local cafés and highly rated restaurants lie within a five‑minute walk.
