GARDEN OF THE SOUL

Welcome to Riad Botanica

Discover an oasis for your soul in the historic 10th-century Medina of Marrakesh. Opened in early 2023, Riad Botanica is a place to reconnect to yourself, indulge your senses and reinvigorate your curiosity and wonder of the beauty that is life. Recently renovated to an immaculate standard, Riad Botanica seamlessly balances beautiful art deco influences from opposite sides of the globe with exceptional craftsmanship from local artisans and an awareness of the desire of people to unwind and reconnect with nature and themselves.

The result?

A place to escape and a peace to embrace.

Riad Botanica made it to Condé Nast Traveller’s Top 10 in North Africa in 2024. We’d be honoured to have your support again!

					  Perfection at every turn - Riad Botanica is a space of beauty and culture with exceptional service and a fabulous location.

					  My second visit in as many months…and already planning on returning! - I have just returned from my second trip to Riad Botanica in as many months, and had a simply wonderful time.

I will never get over just how beautiful... read more the Riad is. And how good it smells! The Riad is absolute luxury throughout, from the swimming pool, the rooftop, all the communal areas to the 5* bedrooms.

Speaking of the bedrooms, they are wonderfully appointed - with the most comfortable beds and softest sheets I have ever experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms are lovely, with powerful showers with seemingly endless hot water. And the toiletries are not your run-of-the-mill hotel toiletries; they are luxury through and through.

The breakfasts are delicious and generous, with the freshly pressed orange juice always being a highlight. You will leave breakfast well-fuelled for the day ahead!

The neighbourhood is super safe and full of friendly locals. A ten minute walk will take you to the heart of the Médina, with restaurants and shops galore.

Special thanks to Mo and Angela for all the care and support, from arranging a car service to collect us from the airport, always spot-on restaurant recommendations, and for making my husband’s birthday extra special.

We will see you again soon, Riad Botanica!

					  The most amazing Riad to stay in Marrakech! - We stayed at the brand new Riad Botanica for 3 nights before Christmas and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience 

Everything was perfect since the moment we... read more arrived at the airport in Marrakech and got picked up by their driver.

The Riad itself is absolutely STUNNING and the team is just the best, always with a smile on their faces and ready to help with anything you may need.

Plus the delicious home made food cooked by Fatima is simply to die for!

Also the location is right in the heart of the Medina and super convenient to explore the main sights by walking.

Overall we had the most memorable time in Marrakech and we would like to thank again Angela, Mohamed and the whole team for making us feel at home ☺️
