Marrakech, Morocco, Africa

A stone’s throw from the Bahia Palace and the Place Djemaa el-Fna, the Riad Azca is a pied-à-terre decorated in contemporary and Moorish accents. It is the perfect place to embrace the delights of Moroccan living: from the exuberance of the souk to relaxing in a hammam

Area & Experiences

Located in the heart of the city, the exuberant medina is a mass of labyrinthine, riad-lined narrow streets, mosques and small palaces the colour of ochre. The souks and lively squares exude the scent of leather and spices and evoke the trail of a majestic, brightly coloured Moroccan caravan. This backdrop from seemingly another era provides the Riad Azca with its setting.

Dinners out in the desert

Set off over the red dunes in search of a little oasis lost amid the arid expanses of Agafay. Here you’ll find an ecolodge surrounded by rich greenery, valiantly defying the drought. At sunset, dinner is served in a traditional nomadic tent, featuring products freshly picked from the gardens. Gnawa musicians, fire-eaters and acrobats take turns to entertain the guests, against a splendid backdrop of olive groves and the endless ochre landscape.

Marrakesh in a side-car

Embark upon your own bespoke private tour of Marrakech and the surrounding region in a mode of transport beamed in from another age: authentic Ural sidecars as used by the red army. Your guide for the day is a French ex-pat who will introduce you to his favourite hidden treasures, sharing his infectious passion for his adopted city.

Breakfast in the sky

As the sun creeps over the horizon, take to the skies for a special breakfast served hundreds of metres off the ground. Tuck into the feast prepared by our expert pastry chef, as the hot air balloon soars towards the Atlas Mountains and over the majestic desert in the golden light of the morning.
