Find Riads in Zagora

It's likely that Riads offer the most immersive experience for your trip to Zagora this year. With a tradition that goes back centuries, these places were once the home of Moorish nobles and Spanish princes. It shows, too, what with glorious tiled facades and intricate geometric architecture gilding their interiors and outsides. Enticing courtyards where blooming date palms shade the corners and babbling fountains issue from the ground are also common, as are rooftop terraces with flowing Maghreb silks plumed over cushioned seating spaces. A riad really is a taste of North African luxury and heritage.

Moroccan riads set the tone for this type of accommodation. Designed as a place to escape the scorching heat of dusty medina towns, these centuries-old homes offer a series of indoor and outdoor spaces that are primed for travellers looking to balance sightseeing with relaxation. Natural cooling comes courtesy of the breezy courtyards and their water features, while the eye-catching designs – think arabesque domes and adobe walls – rarely fail to make you feel like you're really immersed in Zagora history.

The riad was first conceived as a palatial home for Moorish sultans and Andalusian nobles. So it's hardly surprising that they come steeped in luxurious extras.

Others pack in steamy Turkic hammams which beckon with their hot stone treatments and aromatherapy massages. Others have enchanting Moroccan tea rooms that serve mint-infused brews to help you unwind and relax.
