Tucked within 20,000 square metres of manicured gardens just 15 minutes from the heart of Marrakech, Riad Ezzahra is a serene sanctuary where traditional Moroccan elegance meets refined comfort. Surrounded by ancient olive trees, palms and flowering citrus groves, the villa invites you to slow down and soak up its magical atmosphere, whether you're sipping mint tea under the Berber tent, or unwinding with a massage beneath the dappled shade of the terrace.
Inside, Riad Ezzahra is rich with colour and character. Seven en-suite double bedrooms each have private terraces and dressing rooms, with artisanal furnishings, layered fabrics and art by leading Moroccan creatives adding warmth and authenticity throughout. There are cosy fireside lounges, a formal dining room, a separate Owner’s Pavilion with its own plunge pool, and multiple media rooms and games spaces to explore.
Outdoors, the 16-metre pool takes centre stage, flanked by loungers and daybeds. You’ll also find a paddle tennis court, outdoor chess, a gym, and a full spa offering unlimited treatments with local oils and products. A team of 24 staff, including two beauty therapists, ensures everything is effortless, from indulgent meals chosen by you, to immersive experiences organised by the estate manager, Maria.

Please note that availability for this property is on request, and your booking will be confirmed within 48 hours.
Riad Ezzahra is located in the prestigious Palmeraie district, a peaceful enclave just 15 minutes from the vibrant centre of Marrakech. While the medina’s souks, palaces and rooftop cafés are easily reached, the villa feels wonderfully remote, hidden amongst fragrant gardens, mature olive groves, and whispering date palms.
The estate is ideally placed for combining city exploration with slow, sun-drenched days at home. Nearby, you can enjoy camel rides or quad biking through the Palmeraie, play golf at one of several world-class courses, or take a guided trip into the Atlas Mountains. Estate manager Maria is on hand to organise all kinds of outings, from private tours of the Medina to visits to traditional hammams or art galleries. Return home to chef-prepared feasts, fireside drinks, or sunset strolls through the citrus-scented grounds.
