Nestled in the heart of Marrakech’s historic medina, Riad XO is a guesthouse that blends Moroccan tradition with minimalism and comfort. The riad has 12 bright rooms and suites, each with high ceilings, traditional architectural elements, and tadelakt bathrooms. Soft natural tones, wood accents, and woven fabrics give the space a calm and warm feel.

The common areas are built to invite relaxation: there’s a large heated pool that can be used in all seasons, a lush courtyard full of orange blossoms and greenery, and a rooftop terrace with shaded areas and lounge spots to unwind. The ambience is quiet, serene, and carefully curated.

Riad XO also offers a spa area (around 80 m²) with a traditional hammam, massage treatments, and wellness rituals using natural products. There’s a jacuzzi on the rooftop as well, which adds a swanky touch without being over the top.

For dining, the rooftop restaurant and bar serve Moroccan dishes made from fresh, often organic ingredients. The rooftop setting, combined with the quality of the food, makes meals feel like more than just nourishment—they become part of the experience. Breakfast is included, often including both Moroccan and continental options.

The location is excellent: the riad is a short walk from key cultural sites, museums, and souks, yet manages to stay removed enough from the noise to feel like a refuge. It ranks high with guests for its atmosphere, design, and attentive service.
