Set in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina, this 16th-century riad is a sanctuary of calm amongst the hubbub. At the centre of the home, there’s a courtyard with a plunge pool for escaping the midday heat and a hammam for seriously unwinding after days spent exploring the city. Up on the roof, there’s a furnished terrace for enjoying breakfasts made by the on-site cook, set to a backdrop of the Koutoubia and Atlas Mountains. And if that wasn’t relaxing enough, the dedicated on-site team will ensure your stay runs as smoothly as possible.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
This home is managed by a business on behalf of its owner. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.
