4-bedroom traditional riad with private courtyard in Marrakech Medina

Accommodation & Layout

Riad Achwaq is a four-bedroom house with four private bathrooms, each bedroom providing its own ensuite. The villa offers a living room, a sun terrace, and a fully equipped kitchen for guest use. The property is arranged around an inner courtyard with a canvas cover, suitable for year-round use by groups or families.

Location & Access

The riad sits within the old city walls of the Medina, less than 1 km from Le Jardin Secret. Djemaa El Fna is a 16-minute walk, and Koutoubia Mosque is 1.2 km from the property. Marrakech-Menara Airport is 5 km away; the host can meet guests at the general location and guide them to the door, as the riad is set down a small lane with no number plate.

Guest Services & Practicalities

The 24-hour front desk is staffed by Mohamed, who can hold luggage after checkout and assist with late airport pickups. The riad provides a private entrance, key access, and designated smoking areas. The property is a family-friendly accommodation with family rooms, heating, and air conditioning throughout.

Nearby Attractions & Local Area

Mouassine Museum is a 13-minute walk, and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum is 1.8 km from the riad. The Medina location places guests directly next to small local shops, street vendors, and a taxi rank. The quiet street and cul-de-sac position offer a calm base while remaining within walking distance of the main attractions.

Dining & Kitchen

The riad includes a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, allowing guests to prepare their own meals. Personalized breakfast options are available at reasonable costs through the host. The villa also offers a rooftop terrace and garden space for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Highlights

Layout: 4 bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom

Location: Less than 1 km from Le Jardin Secret

“From what I gathered, this renovated traditional house maintains its original Moroccan charm while incorporating modern comforts, including a garden, terrace, and spacious dining area. While it's a short walk from the gate as cars can't approach, the manager ensures a smooth arrival. Its location within the Medina places it near main attractions, making it a suitable home base to experience local culture.”
