If you’re looking for a riad that feels like a calm exhale in the middle of Marrakech — stop scrolling, this is the one. We stayed at Riad Andalla Spa, loved it so much we’re coming back in a few days, and honestly I’m still not convinced it’s real. It’s like someone said, “What if we created the most peaceful, beautiful space right next to the chaos of the medina?” And then they did it.
The staff deserves their own review category entirely. Abdul, Abdullah, and Younes were kind, funny, attentive, and somehow always appeared five minutes before we realized we needed anything. Magic? Possibly. Telepathy? Likely. Either way, they are the reason this riad feels less like a hotel and more like being hosted by friends who genuinely want you to enjoy Morocco.
Breakfasts were fresh and lovely, the rooms were gorgeous, and every corner of the riad felt intentional — from the reading nooks to quiet places to talk or play games. You can walk outside into the hum of the city, then return to a space that feels like someone pressed the volume down to zero. It’s peaceful in a way that makes you want to whisper out of respect.
Riad Andalla Spa will absolutely be part of any future Marrakech trip we take. If you want beauty, comfort, sincere hospitality, and a calm haven steps away from the medina — book this place.
