RIAD AFRICA
A serene retreat in the very heart of the world heritage listed Marrakech medina. Four ancient houses blend into a small, charming hotel which is English-owned and managed. Behind a walled facade and understated entrance door, you step into another world and a haven of beauty.
A large plunge pool, surrounded by a shady central courtyard, is perfect for a refreshing dip after a day sightseeing in summer. In winter a small heated dipping pool will warm you up. Enjoy a glass of mint tea in the lounge at any time of day. Start or end your day on the cool rooftop terrace with a tropical garden and great views across the Medina to the High Atlas Mountains and Koutoubia Minaret.
Traditional home cooked meals are served in the rooftop restaurant using delicious fresh local produce. If you fancy learning to cook tasty Moroccan dishes, the Marrakech Cooking School offers daily cooking courses. A beautician / masseuse is based at Riad Africa, with a choice of relaxing massage and hammam treatments available in the small spa.
Spacious themed rooms are individually decorated in traditional style and also celebrate Africa’s most evocative and fabled destinations, from Congo to Zambezi. Rooms accommodate single, double, twin, triple or family bookings and range from smaller standard rooms to superior rooms, and the best rooms in the house - junior suites.
