About this property
Step through an unassuming wooden door and discover the serene world of Riad Faras, a five-bedroom sanctuary hidden within the winding lanes of Marrakech’s historic Kaat Benahid district. This peaceful riad blends timeless Moroccan design with understated modern elegance, where intricate tiles, carved fireplaces, and soft lantern light create an atmosphere of warmth and calm. Centered around a palm-shaded courtyard with a gentle fountain, the home unfolds over three levels, each space inviting quiet reflection and comfort.
On the ground floor, a refined salon and dining room set the tone for relaxed gatherings, while upstairs, the suites offer private retreats with dressing areas, fireplaces, and spacious bathrooms. The rooftop terrace reveals sweeping views of the medina and the distant Atlas Mountains, perfect for sunrise coffee or sunset cocktails. With its own hammam and spa, Riad Faras is a place to unwind, reconnect, and savor Marrakech’s timeless beauty.
Please note that the kitchen is for staff usage only; guests are not allowed to cook or prepare any meal. Usage of the kitchen for nibbles (tea, coffee, sandwich, etc.) might be allowed prior to agreement with the owner/property manager.
Set in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina, Riad Faras lies within the historic Kaat Benahid district, a neighborhood rich in tradition and local life. Just steps away, guests can visit the beautifully preserved Ben Youssef Medersa, explore the exhibits at Maison de la Photographie, or wander through nearby souks overflowing with spices, fabrics, and handcrafted treasures. Every corner of this area reflects the city’s authentic spirit, where history and everyday life intertwine.
The narrow lanes are lined with restored fondouks and filled with the sounds of greetings and the call to prayer echoing over rooftops. Yet beyond the bustle, peaceful courtyards and leafy terraces offer calm and seclusion. With many of Marrakech’s landmarks within walking distance, Riad Faras provides an ideal base for discovering the city’s culture, returning each evening to a haven of quiet charm and timeless atmosphere.
