Riad Aya

You too could be setting off on a train ride to explore the area surrounding the beautiful city of Marrakech. If you don’t want to book any trips yourself, the hotel is more than happy to organise daytrips for you. You won’t even have to find your own way from the airport, as the hotel will sort that out for you too. The warm and welcoming staff can also book you some time on the local golf courses, and equipment is available to hire from the hotel. If you feel adventurous, take a trip out into the desert before returning to this oasis of calm.

The hotel's restaurant includes sugar, spice and all manner of nice in its dishes. You will be overwhelmed with taste sensations and can dive right in to Moroccan culture with some of the country’s favourite dishes, such as the well-known tagine and couscous. Or how about taking a chance and trying some of the lesser known dishes such as the tanija (beef shank) or harira soup? If you are really enjoying the cuisine, which we’re confident you will, you may want to have a Moroccan cookery class, offered in the hotel. You can then take recipes for any culinary delights you may discover back home with you! Make your friends green with envy and we don’t just mean with the traditional mint tea, one of the most popular drinks in the area.


Travelling to Morocco and staying at the Riad Aya is definitely money well spent, and you are likely to see richly-coloured materials throughout the hotel’s opulent décor. You will be surrounded by culture and tradition as each room is individually decorated, all of them resplendent in traditional Moroccan fabrics and hues to reflect each room’s name. Sitting on the comfortable bed, gazing around the room, you might espy Moroccan copper work, zellij and tadelak, Moroccan decorative plaster along with authentic Moroccan ornaments and mirrors, plus cedar furniture, many of which draw their inspiration from traditional Berber designs and are crafted by Moroccan artisans.

Variety is the Spice of Life and this hotel has plenty of variety on offer with its interesting décor, delicious cuisine and historical pieces, so choose Marrakech and the Riad Aya for your next holiday destination!
