Riad Villa El Arsa

Situated just five minutes from the main square of the Marrakech Medina, Riad Villa El Arsa offers the ultimate haven from the magnetic frenzy of Djemma El Fna. Through its unimposing wooden door, guests find themselves in a light open-roofed courtyard, fringed with banana trees. Here you can relax and refresh yourself with the locally sourced mint tea in an atmosphere of complete tranquility and calm. With sun loungers on the terrace and a plunge pool, you'll have little trouble unwinding and soaking up the incredible atmosphere at Riad Villa El Arsa.

Well established in Marrakech, Riad Villa El Arsa has preserved its original features and architecture, with spacious tadlakt bathrooms, high painted ceilings and tall antique wooden doors. Comfort, cleanliness and elegance in design are paramount to the Riad, which is overseen by English-speaking Moroccan staff who are on hand to help guests with any questions or arrangements of travel.

The four double air-conditioned and heated bedrooms are arranged around the first floor galleried area. Each well-appointed room has its own unique bathroom, with either a deep set bath or expansive shower carved into the tadlakt, which is an ancient Moroccan technique used to plaster the walls of palaces and hammams. The bedrooms themselves exude a simple charm, with the light from Moroccan stained-glass lanterns dancing on the white walls.
