Intimate courtyard riad
With just seven rooms around an open courtyard, this riad runs like a discreet private home inside the medina.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With just seven rooms and suites Riad Idra is as intimate as can be… it’s got that secluded inner-circle private-retreat vibe down pat.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Antique shops line the alleys of Dar El Bacha, and Jemaa el-Fna is just a short walk away.
The rooms
Chiseled copper grilles hide the air conditioning, and bathrooms come with deep soaking tubs or walk-in showers.
The hammam
Twin marble slabs sit under vaulted ceilings, where steam scrubs use black soap and ghassoul infused with orange blossom water.
The spa
A single treatment table sits beneath a fiber-optic starry dome for massages with pure argan and verbena oils.
Restaurant
La Table du Riad Idra
Wicker tables sit among rooftop greenery, where dinner brings regional Moroccan recipes from the Atlas to the Sahara.
