Riad Alkemia: a haven of magic and charm in the heart of Marrakech

Nestled in a quiet alley of Marrakech's historic medina, Riad Alkemia offers an authentic Moroccan experience that blends 18th-century architecture with modern luxury. Located ten minutes from Djemaa El Fna square, this restored riad provides an exclusive retreat for travelers seeking an immersive Moroccan adventure.

Spanning three floors, the property accommodates up to 15 guests across seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. Renting the entire riad grants access to exceptional amenities: a patio with swimming pool, traditional hammam, and a spacious terrace with shaded areas and solarium.

Carefully restored in 2019, the riad preserves its original architectural elements. Intricate Berber doors, inlaid woodwork, wrought iron details, and traditional objects create a captivating environment that bridges historical authenticity and modern comfort.

Strategically located in a peaceful alley, the riad is close to Marrakech's key attractions. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Djemaa el Fna square and Ben Youssef Madrasa are within walking distance, offering easy access to the city's cultural heart.

Hospitality is paramount at Riad Alkemia. The dedicated staff manages all aspects of your stay, from daily housekeeping to personalized experiences.

Guests can: relax by the pool under palm trees, enjoy a traditional hammam and massage, unwind in the dedicated relaxation area, sunbathe on the terrace and savor fresh Moroccan tea and orange juice. The staff excels at creating memorable experiences, offering services like: guided tours, desert excursions, workshops (cooking, ardan oil, pottery), wellness sessions, balloning, sidecar ride and many other customized activities.

More than just accommodation, Riad Alkemia offers a gateway to Moroccan culture. It provides a perfect balance of luxury and tradition, inviting guests to immerse themselves in an unforgettable experience that goes beyond typical travel.
