Riad Melhoun & Spa

What a beautiful place. We arrived in the searing midday heat unsure of what we would find. We were greeted by Abdul who was so welcoming and thoughtful he showed us into what I can only describe as the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in. It certainly has the wow factor and is a really unique experience. Our room was just as wonderful.
We enjoyed the rooftop pool during the hot afternoons and having breakfast up there in the mornings. This place exceeded our expectations on every level. If you want an authentic Marrakesh experience with attentive staff this is the place. 100% would stay again and I miss it already.

From the moment we stepped inside this beautiful riad we felt like we had a home in Marrakech. We arrived very early from the US and were invited to relax in the serene environment. Amed welcomed us with a big smile and warm greeting. Within a few minutes he had a beautiful, full breakfast with much needed coffee prepared for us. We dined next to the beautiful courtyard pool. After breakfast, he explained in detail what this historic Riad had to offer and let us know he would help us with any tours, reservations or requests that we may have.
Our room was ready soon after that and we found it to be spotless, efficient, and most of all, gorgeous. The staff made us feel like welcomed guest in their home.
The meals at Riad Melhoune were crafted with the same attention to detail and high standards. All food was fresh, made to order, and very carefully thought out. Traditional Moroccan dishes, fresh fruit and vegetables, and never the same meal twice! We could not have asked for better quality ingredients and preparation.
Amed and his wonderful colleagues arranged for us to experience the best of spa treatments. They were really special.
The staff arranged high quality tours with very knowledgeable guides and any transportation we needed.
I would like to name the staff members as they all played a role in our unforgettable first (but not last) trip to Marrakech.

If names like Muhammad, Ahlam, Jamel, Abdul, and Ahmed stay with us, it’s because we’ve just returned from our first trip to Marrakech — and these are the wonderful people who welcomed us like family and made us feel truly at home, away from home.
The riad and its team were absolutely charming, with genuine care and constant attention to detail. Our hammam and massage experience was amazing and made our anniversary trip even more special and memorable.
The food felt homemade and was very reasonably priced. Our room was a little small, but clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained by the staff.
A special thanks again to the entire team — kind, helpful, and always welcoming. They struck the perfect balance of being warm and attentive while remaining professional and never intrusive.
A beautiful place, in a great location, with easy access to the main area of Jemaa el-Fna. We would happily return.

We booked the Spa services (Royal Couple Melhoun) and it exceeded our expectations. Rania and Nabila were amazing and super friendly, all the products were organic and did wonders for our skin. We will definitely book this Riad for accomodation next time too!

A beautiful Riad in a fantastic location. As you walk through the doors, the serene atmosphere is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. Fantastic staff, food, location — couldn’t have got better!

Beautiful riad in a great location, peaceful and not far from the palace. The staff were always so welcoming and kind and attentive. We had lovely traditional Moroccan pastries and mint tea on arrival and enjoyed the breakfast every morning on the roof terrace or inside the centre of the riad by the pool and we finished our trip with a delicious traditional Moroccan meal. Such a beautiful Riad with lovely attention to detail in all of the decor and it was great to hear about the history upon arrival. We would highly recommend.

Very special place to stay while in Marrakesh. Very close to Medina but still you feel away from crowds and rush.
When we came to this Riad, we were welcomed with tea and cakes. We were introduced to the history of this riad and in general. Nicest Riad I have been. Small and nice rooms.
Breakfast enjoyable and special next to the pool and you can see the sky.
We took SPA as well — very good.
Team — fluently speaking english, open to help and suggest what to do and where to go.
We were visiting this place on January while African Cup of Nations. Thanks to the whole team!

My fiancée and I have traveled extensively around the world and stayed in countless hotels and riads, but this is by far the best we have ever stayed in. I cannot recommend this Riad highly enough — our stay was incredible, and I would tell anyone to experience it for themselves. We have the highest respect and love for this Riad's beauty and service. The location is right in the centre, making it super easy to walk to all the tourist attractions. As soon as you enter, you're overcome by how tranquil the atmosphere is — exactly what's needed after a busy road trip. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, with every detail handcrafted and meticulously thought through. The value is 100% spot on, and it's one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed in. The noise level is wonderfully quiet and relaxing. The service was the cherry on top — truly exceptional from the warm greeting to the useful tips on places to visit, combined with genuine kindness and attention to detail. The amenities are superb. We would go back in a heartbeat!

What an amazing place! We wouldn’t change anything! Staff very attentive and friendly, food is delicious, throughout the Riad the cleanliness was immaculate and location is brilliant!
It feels like you are in an oasis in the middle of a big and busy city. At times it felt that we had the Riad just for us because it was so quiet at all times.
We also got the suite downstairs and the room was beautifully decorated with some lovely touches, like rose petals and light up candles everyday.
I also celebrated my birthday and the staff gave me a lovely flower arrangement, which was a kind and thoughtful gesture.
The Riad also has its own SPA, so we had the Royal Couples massage, which includes a hammam and a massage. Well worth the money! Very indulging!
We loved it so much to the point that we want to go back! We highly recommend it to everyone!

This riad is absolutely beautiful and incredibly peaceful — the perfect escape from the busy streets of Marrakech. The staff were exceptionally warm, attentive, and efficient, making us feel truly at home from the moment we arrived.
The location is perfect, with easy walking access to most of the main sights. All the services we requested — transfers, our desert trip, and the spa — were perfectly organised, always on time and stress-free. The spa was wonderful too.
Our stay exceeded all expectations. We felt cared for every step of the way. Highly recommended.

After carefully looking at many riads in the medina, we chose to book Riad Melhoun for our Marrakech city break and what a great decision that was. Even though it is located close to the souks and the Jemaa El Fna market (approx. 10 minutes), the peaceful feeling you get gives the impression that you are far away from the all the noise and hustle and bustle of the souks.
The breakfast was a typical Moroccan one and the dinner we had on arrival was very good. The rooftop is stunning with a lot of plants, we had breakfast there one of the data to soak up the sun.
Our room (Dihya) was beautifully decorated and very clean, with a few items which seemed to come out of a museum (the coloured bathroom sink, the doors or the small wooden chair).
On top of everything, the biggest asset of Riad Melhoun is the staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful and I have to mention Jamal and Mohammad in particular.
Thank you for a wonderful riad experience.

Delightful staff. Clean. Peaceful haven amidst the madness. Well located. Organised everything. Easy. Take the opportunity of having a meal in the Riad. Khadija the cook is incredible. Rooms beautifully cleaned every day. Rooftop great to chill but didn’t take the opportunity! Too much to see.

A beautiful peaceful location in the midst of the old city of Marrakech. What makes Riad Melhoun stand out even more are the excellent staff. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. From the welcome where you are greeted with tea and shown around the facility, to the local orientation they provide, the staff make you feel welcome and like family. The service was at a level of locations that charge two to three times the price. In addition, there is the wonderful food that the kitchen staff makes on a daily basis. We were only able to enjoy one of the wonderful morning breakfasts. If you get the chance, do a lunch or dinner at the Riad — you won't regret it. Our dinner there was our best meal the entire time we were in Marrakech. Be sure to arrange your transport from the airport to the Riad directly from them. They were very helpful in doing transport in both directions, but on arrival you definitely want to coordinate because the car can get close to the Riad but you still have to walk a little because of the width of the roads. They arranged for a person to assist us by hauling our bags in a cart directly to the front of the Riad. There is also a bank a short distance away where you can get cash from the ATM and not charged the excessive transaction fees. It was the people at the Riad that made the experience. We felt extremely welcome and safe and the caring staff were what made this experience so memorable and we would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the old city.

We loved the service, staff, location, room, and the entire Riad. The location is close to the main center yet very quiet as we didn’t hear anything from outside the Riad. As the photos show the place is calm, beautiful, and well-kept. The staff will do whatever it takes to solve any questions. We were serviced so well. The couples Royal massage treatment and experience was excellent. The room was very clean with a shower that offered very hot to very cold water and everything in between. The rooftop is spacious, so you can have privacy from others. We loved the authentic breakfast and dinner. Not to mention the real coffee, mint tea, and orange juice. Thank you for going up and beyond for us.

This is an amazing riad in a convenient location in the medina, a short walk from anything you want to see or anything you need.
The team who look after the riad are friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.
The rooms are beautiful and although the bed was a little hard for our taste the bedlinen and pillows were soft and good quality. There was always plenty of hot water for the shower and Wi-Fi wasn't an issue at all.
The roof terrace is nicely furnished and comfortable and a great place to relax after a morning out walking.
Breakfast is traditionally Moroccan with cake, pancakes, crepes, fruit juice, freshly made yogurt and fruit.
Our three course dinner was served on the roof terrace and included two large starters, tagines and then a desert all perfectly presented and beautifully served.
There is so much to see in Marrakesh that one visit is not enough and we would definitely stay here again if we come back to Marrakesh.

The most amazing stay at Riad Melhoun &spa 🥰! Loved the quiet oasis inside with lovely attentive staff, special mention for Ahlam, who went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome, she gave us the best tips on shopping and arranged a beautiful hamam and dinner for us! The food here was the best we had in Marrakech! And the riad is well located. My sister and I had the best time here and will definitely visit again as felt like a home away from home🫶🏼🥰 Thank you to all the staff for their genuine hospitality 💕

We had a wonderful experience at this riad! We went there just for the spa not for the night.
The place is beautiful, authentic, and full of atmosphere. The staff were incredibly kind and professional they welcomed us warmly, spoke excellent English, and guided us through the whole experience with care.
We did the couple hammam and massage: after the hammam, they offered us delicious mint tea before starting the massage, which was super relaxing.
The price for a couple treatment is lower than average, but the quality is outstanding. It was our first hammam, so we’re not sure if it was done in the most traditional way, but it was definitely a fantastic and memorable experience that we highly recommend!
