About this property
Hidden within the winding alleys of Marrakech’s historic Kasbah district, Riad Chafai offers a serene counterpoint to the city’s vibrant energy. Step through its carved wooden doors and you're met by soft white archways, leafy palms, and the gentle trickle of the central courtyard fountain. The riad flows elegantly from room to room, combining traditional Moroccan design with subtle contemporary touches. Each of the eight bedrooms has its own personality, but all share a sense of calm with tadelakt bathrooms, colourful textiles, and views onto the soothing courtyard.
Head up to the roof terrace and you’ll find a peaceful spot for morning mint tea or golden-hour lounging by the plunge pool. From shaded dining tables to inviting sunbeds and breezy sitting corners, this is where the city below melts away. The heated pool is available year-round, making the terrace a true sanctuary in every season.
Tucked just a short walk from the Bahia and Badi Palaces, and only fifteen minutes from the airport, Riad Chafai is perfectly placed to discover the magic of Marrakech, while having a beautifully curated retreat to return to each day.
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 ancient Kasbah, Riad Chafai places you within arm’s reach of some of the city’s most treasured landmarks. The Bahia Palace, with its intricately carved stucco and peaceful gardens, is just a short stroll away, while the bustling souks and iconic Jemaa el-Fnaa square are within easy reach.
This area is rich in culture and history, with old-world architecture, spice-scented alleyways and lively neighbourhood cafés offering an authentic slice of Marrakech life. Food lovers can explore rooftop restaurants and hidden riad kitchens, while culture-seekers are just steps from museums, hammams and artisan boutiques. And when the city stirs your curiosity, your peaceful courtyard oasis will be waiting.
