Here's a list of some truly magnificent and authentic riads I've stayed at myself and highly recommend for a fantastic stay in Marakech.

A riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or courtyard. The term "riad" comes from the Arabic word "riyad," which means "garden." Riads are commonly found in the medinas (old quarters) of cities like Marrakech, Fez, and Essaouira.

All female team, quiet oasis near Rue Azbezt, so perfect location, close to Place des Epices. Beautiful and spacious, feels like my home away from home!

Luxurious and green, Belgian owner. Located a little further north in the medina but with free bikes at your disposal.

Lovely smaller riad, more intimate with cosy corners, very friendly staff and perfectly situated.

French owner, cosy compact riad, all male staff, north part of the medina, but still close to Place des Epices. Large variation of rooms and prices, beautiful terrace.

Riad Musa 
Latest discovery, closest to the Place des Epices. Home of 4 funky brothers, part of the boho, colorful vibe. Beautiful terrace, rather small and less luxurious, but very good price/quality.

Riad First
Black & White, modern and situated in Bab Doukkala area.

Riad Matham
Another hidden gem and personal favo! Big terrace in several heights, beautiful rooms and palms in the center, with a house turtle and perfect location.

More to come... Sure of it :)
