Historic Riad Setting

Riad Assala is housed in a 17th-century building in Marrakesh's Medina, featuring two patios with original cedar doors and sculpted plasters. The property is next to a Royal Palace and 600 meters from the Souk of the Medina. The main house dates back to the Saadienne Era, with period furniture and traditional Moroccan architecture.

Rooms & Suites

The riad offers six air-conditioned bedrooms and suites around two patios. Rooms include private bathrooms with showers, free Wi-Fi, and seating areas. Some suites feature fireplaces, private terraces, or direct patio views. The Douéria Suite has hand-painted ceilings and carved plaster details, while the Mini Suite Bahia includes a sofa for extra seating.

Dining & Moroccan Cuisine

The onsite restaurant serves Moroccan dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from local markets. Guests can dine by the pool, in the courtyard, or on the rooftop terrace. Breakfast is included, featuring homemade pastries, fresh fruit, and traditional mint tea.

Leisure & Wellness

The riad has an outdoor pool, a sunbathing terrace, and a traditional hammam offering argan oil massages. Yoga sessions and guided excursions to nearby attractions like Essaouira and the Ourika Valley can be arranged.

Services & Accessibility

Riad Assala provides airport transfers, babysitting, and concierge services for tours and golf bookings. Safety features include smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits. The nearest airport is Marrakech-Menara, and key landmarks like Dar Bellarj and Jemaa el-Fnaa are within a 10-minute walk.

“This 17th-century building places you steps away from the bustling souks, yet its calm ambiance provides a welcome retreat. I was particularly struck by the dedicated staff and traditional Moroccan meals, making it a cultural and culinary experience to remember. Its architecture, combined with modern comforts, provides an intimate look into Marrakesh.”
