Situated in Quartier Riad Laarouss, just a few minutes’ walk north of Djemaa el Fna, in the very heart of the ancient medina of Marrakech, Riad Africa is a classic Marrakech riad, originally dating back to the 17th century. Available exclusively for private Marrakech holiday rentals this beautifully restored, luxurious and highly sought after Marrakech holiday home retains many of its original features and is tastefully furnished with rich local fabrics, hand-crafted rugs and hand-made furniture.





Riad Africa is a true haven of peace and quiet for guests seeking a truly private Marrakech retreat from the melee of bustling souks. Elegantly enhanced with several stylish features including a courtyard plunge pool for summer cooling and roaring log fires for winter warming, this luxury Marrakech riad has three plush en-suite bedrooms and a large open-plan salon/dining room.

Elevated above the neighbouring riads of Marrakech, the views from Riad Africa’s private roof terrace are magnificent with the trees and public gardens of Sidi Bouamer to the north and, in winter, the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas to the south. Relax under the shade of our rooftop tent during the day and enjoy an early evening barbecue and chilled glass of local wine from your own exclusive terrace bar at night.

Perfect for groups of friends and families or even as a luxurious Marrakech honeymoon retreat, Riad Africa offers a housekeeper and cook, and can accommodate up to 9 guests. For those keen to dine Moroccan-style, a well-equipped kitchen is stocked with a range of spices from the nearby souk, and our local cook can prepare a tasty selection of Moroccan recipes. Alternatively, a choice of fine restaurants and cafés are only a few steps away.
