Gratitude and 🩷 from Marrakech to Florence

We’re so grateful to journalist Florence Reeves-White for her generous and insightful article capturing her experience in Marrakech with us here at @riadbotanica.

With a sharp eye and a wonderful turn of phrase, Florence explored the city’s layers—from the sensory swirl of the Medina to the calm corners of our riad. Through vivid storytelling, she did what every traveller hopes to do: distill the beauty, chaos, calm, and culture of Marrakech into words.

Her piece is a must-read for anyone curious about what a weekend just three hours away from UK can offer: Florence’s article in Good Housekeeping

Florence shared her honest feedback and photos of moments she captured. If Florence’s experiences spoke to you, there’s a good chance you’ll feel right at home with us at our up and coming Retreats.

Shaped by encounters like Florence’s, our retreats invite curious souls to experience Marrakech through local eyes—with cultural depth, personal connection, and yes, just enough mint tea to consider a second passport.

Muse Marrakech InStyle- a creative shopping, design and styling retreat- jointly hosted by us and our Interior Designer @claire.caucecile takes one from the heady scent of spices and tucked-away shops of the medina to creative workshops with artisans, our Marrakech InStyle design and shopping tours celebrate the city’s vibrant spirit.

However if you’re seeking more a wellbeing retreat, our Artisan of the Soul could be just the ticket – offering a slow pace— with the ever so talented yoga and wholistic practitioner @annikaglac moving from serene coastal reflection to dinners under the stars and sunsets over the Medina.

Thank you again, Florence—for the words, the warmth, and the inspiration.
