Riad Dar Mo'da
Design-led medina riad
Design-led medina riad
Contemporary Italian styling balances the 19th-century Moorish architecture, and the riad runs like an intimate private home with an in-house cook.
What it’s good at
Notable
Traditional riad courtyard living in Mouassine, beneath a rooftop facing the Atlas Mountains.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Dar Mo’Da is a private, design-led riad with five suites, two pools, and one of the medina’s most cinematic rooftops.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Antique shops and textile stalls line Rue Mouassine, and Jemaa el-Fna is a five-minute walk away.
The rooms
Courtyard suites open onto carved arcades, and two have private terraces overlooking the central pool.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A courtyard pool sits beneath a retractable roof, and a second plunge pool looks across the medina from the terrace.
The spa
At the table
Moroccan dinners are served under the shaded rooftop pavilion, and drinks are poured beneath green-tiled arches.
