Riad Awatif 36

From vibrant souqs lined with colourful and aromatic wares to ornate palaces glowing ochre in the sun and beautiful mosques echoing back the call to prayer, Marrakech is a one-of-a-kind experience for all the senses. A 20-minute walk from the famous Jamaa el Fna square, Riad Luxe 36 is a tranquil haven among the heady high of the medina and labyrinthe souks that brim with eye-popping sights and sounds. Throw yourself in the rich culture and history of Marrakech, before retreating to the peace and calm of this charming riad, where you'll discover traditional Moroccan architecture adorned with classic motifs and pocketed with hidden nooks and corners. Just three rooms and two suites create a luxurious home-from-home vibe, each understated in style and giving a nod to typical Moroccan interiors. Elsewhere, there's a palm-lined swimming pool, hammam, whirlpool bath and panoramic terrace.
