Charming traditional riad in Marrakech medina featuring rooftop terrace with Atlas Mountain views, intimate courtyard with fountain, and beautifully decorated rooms with traditional Moroccan style. Excellent breakfast and helpful staff make this a medina favorite.
Riad Yasmine occupies a restored traditional house deep in the Marrakech medina, on Derb Sidi Ahmed Ou Moussa near the Mouassine quarter, a 10-15 minute walk from Jemaa el-Fnaa and the souks. The building keeps its original courtyard layout, with a central pool ringed by carved plasterwork, mosaic tiling, and a fountain, opening onto a rooftop terrace with views toward the Atlas Mountains on clear days. Rooms are individually decorated in traditional Moroccan style with four-poster beds, hand-painted ceilings, and en-suite bathrooms, ranging from standard doubles to larger suites with private terrace access. Breakfast is served on the rooftop or in the courtyard and is consistently praised as a highlight, with fresh bread, pastries, and Moroccan crepes. There is no full restaurant, but the riad can arrange in-house dinners and has a small bar area. A traditional hammam and massage treatments are available on site, and the rooftop pool offers a quiet retreat from the medina's bustle. Staff are known for hands-on, personal service — arranging airport transfers, guiding guests through the medina's narrow alleys to find the riad, and offering restaurant and excursion recommendations — making it well suited to couples and first-time visitors who want an authentic riad stay without sacrificing comfort.
