Riad Alma  

In Mechouar-Kasbah, Marrakech — a riad-style hideaway a short stroll from Saadian Tombs, Bab Agnaou and El Badi Palace. You’re a few minutes’ drive from Jemaa el-Fnaa and Avenue Mohamed VI. Menara Airport (RAK) is about 5.6 km away.

There are 8 individually decorated rooms (sleeping up to 20 guests), each with a private bathroom and many from 50 m² up; seven rooms have private terraces for quiet downtime.

A hammam, massage room and spa treatments are on site to help you unwind.
