Riad

P'tit Habibi \ Marrakech \ Morocco

Fusing local artisan craft with modern design, this chic riad feels more like a private residence than a boutique riad. The five-bedroom 'Little House of Happiness' was designed by the Norwegian owner and architect Knut Hovland, who beautifully blends Moroccan design with a Scandinavian aesthetic, giving this peaceful hideaway a somewhat eclectic and rock 'n' roll feel. Geometric hand-cut floor tiles, James Bond-esque gold and mother of pearl chandelier, intricate hand-carved walls, richly embroidered cushions. Cool down in the rooftop plunge pool, enjoy a sundowner overlooking the golden-hued city, or stay in and enjoy a film in the private cinema. Whatever your desire, nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful staff who are there to help and create a memorable experience that will have you wishing you could make this your home away from home!

Ryad Dyor \ Marrakech \ Morocco

This boutique hotel is the perfect mix of modern, traditional and luxury.

With two shady courtyards adorned with palms and orange trees, a splash pool, and a large open-air rooftop lounge, you won't have any trouble finding a nook to relax in. Better yet, get the full Moroccan experience and indulge in the in-house hamman and spa!
