This stunning Riad features Moroccan craftsmanship, a living room with a fireplace, and a spa center. And the cherry on top is the rooftop terrace with a hot tub, plus 2 swimming pools. 

• Riad Les Nuits de Marrakech – With a fantastic location right near the Djemaa El Fna square and Marrakech Museum, this riad offers a great price per night considering all the cool facilities they have, such as a charming terrace with great views of Medina! I wouldn’t miss the chance to try their delicious dishes, so make sure you stop by their restaurant and also ask about the activities they offer, like cooking classes and horse riding! 

• Riad Kheirredine – With a great location near the main square, this stylish riad features the most incredible views of the Atlas mountains from its rooftop terrace! Each suite is traditionally decorated, and some come with a seating area. Start your day with some room service, or enjoy your meal on the rooftop restaurant before hitting the outdoor pool! Or relax in the traditional hammam before you go out to explore Marrakech! 

• Riad Les Yeux Bleus – Don’t you just love the vibrant colors used in the traditional Moroccan design? They look so full of life! This elegant riad offers exactly that, plus a lovely atmosphere and plenty of facilities, including a terrace where you can eat your delicious breakfast and an outdoor swimming pool where you can hide under the shade from those strong sun rays. Make your reservations in advance for Marrakech because this city is becoming super popular, and the best ones always go first! 

• Riad Olema et Spa – What should you do when it’s way too hot to go out exploring? Sit by the plunge pool, enjoy lots of cocktails and swim! Sounds pretty good, right? If you get bored, fear not. The roof terrace will be the perfect spot to move your little party! Besides all this, the accommodation features a spa center, 2 swimming pools, and a bar! 

Mid Range (US$90 – US$150)

• Riad Zayan Atlas – If you are looking for a good mid-range riad then I strongly recommend Riad Zayan Atlas. We stayed at this riad for a few nights and had a wonderful time! Even though the rooms were a bit smaller, which is expected from riads, the gorgeous courtyard compensated for that. There’s also a lovely tented roof area and a swimming pool. The owners are super nice and helpful (they helped us with taxis, food, etc.).
• Riad Spice by Marrakech – I love how everything is so elegant, but still, they’ve managed to keep that authentic design of a Moroccan riad! This accommodation comes with an outdoor swimming pool and a sun terrace. Each room has lots of space, flat-screen tv, and a terrace with a private pool from where you can admire the city views! 

• Riad Anya & Spa – Catch a sunset on the roof terrace of this beautiful riad that offers views of the Atlas Mountains and lots of cool activities! But first, let’s talk about the gorgeous suites that have contemporary Moroccan decor, and some also come with a seating area. Ideally, located on a quiet street within walking distance of Jamaâ El Fna Square, the accommodation also has a spa center and a restaurant! 

• Le Riad Yasmine – You may have seen this one on Instagram before and it for sure deserves its social fame! Featuring 7 private rooms, this boutique hotel is set in the heart of the city, and it offers some incredible suites, all with a unique design blending contemporary elements with traditional Moroccan aesthetics. Swim in the pool, relax on the roof terrace, and eat delicious food during your stay at Riad Yasmine! 

• Riad Louhou – Simple, modern, but with a touch of Morrocan style! This fabulous riad is located near some cool attractions like Bahia Palace and Jemaa el Fna square. Which I recommend seeing after you enjoy some time on the roof terrace by the pool! For a super affordable price per night, you’ll also get breakfast and fabulous rooms with a private bathroom. 

• Ambre Epices Medina Riad – Set in a historic home that once belonged to a former spice merchant, this unique riad has a beautiful inner courtyard with a pool and a terrace where you can indulge in all sorts of Moroccan specialties like pastries and tea. There are only 6 rooms at the riad (more reason to book in advance), which are named after the most important stages of the Spice Route! 

• Riad Le Rihani – If you’re looking for something a bit more modern but still with that Moroccan vibe, then this riad is perfect for you! Set just a 17-minute walk from Jemaa el-Fna Square, the accommodation offers an indoor lap pool and many wellness treatments! Enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace, and then go for a swim in the pool!
