Riad Joya Hotel

At the funky old Medina in Marrakech romantics and treasure hunters will be in seventh heaven.

Riad Joya is an intimate, luxury boutique stay situated in the historical area of Mouassine, just a few steps from the beguiling souks and the famous Djemaa el Fna square. For the uninitiated, riads (or dars in their smaller form) are traditional Moroccan houses set around a central courtyard.

This small, sophisticated sanctuary is an oasis of calm with 7 stunning rooms, stylish salons, a serene courtyard plus a roof terrace.

In a city replete with lots of sleek, chic and very boutique accommodations, Riad Joya distinguishes itself sublimely. The seven suites at zen-like Riad Joya sparkle as much as the rest of the spaces. Each room is individually designed with different settings and styles inspired by the cultural influences and exchanges that have enriched Morocco throughout its history. The stylish rooms with beautiful bathrooms form the ideal retreat to sleep in luxury. Our favorite pick is the Dar Arabe suite and the African-inspired Zanzibar room.

At the rooftop terrace start you day with a scrumptious breakfast and dine under the stars at night. Sup on tajine, couscous or enjoy Italian cuisine. After a day in the bustling souks, you can indulge yourself in the little hamman & spa, lounge on the roof, in your suite or try a shisha in the salon.
