Picolo recommends · Riad hotel in Marrakech
Royal Mansour Marrakech
Private riads with rooftop terraces and plunge pools, gardens full of flowers and a spa in white carved stone.
Behind the tall gate it suddenly turns quiet. The noise of the medina fades, and instead you hear fountains and birds. You have your own riad, with a courtyard, a roof terrace and a pool, and no neighbours in the corridor.
The riads sit among gardens of palms, flowers and fountains. The roof terraces have plunge pools and views over the city, and in the evening the lanterns are lit in the courtyards.
The spa offers massages, body wraps and facials, and there are both indoor and outdoor pools. The airport is just over five kilometres away, and transfers are included.
Marrakech beyond the walls
The medina, Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks are a short trip away. Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon, when it is cooler.
If you want to see the desert, pair the stay with a night in the Sahara at Merzouga or a day trip to the Atlas Mountains.
