Enjoy the privacy and peace of a riad to yourselves. Dar Raja is a stylish retreat and an exclusive vacation rental for just 2 – 4 persons, with a unique location overlooking green gardens.

Tucked away in one of the city’s ancient alleyways, this bijou hideaway is only a 7 minute stroll from the famous Jemma el Fna Square and the lively souks.Designed by the French architect J-B Doucet-Bon, the luxurious interior offers an open-plan living space with your own private pool, an exceptional feature for a small riad in Marrakesh.

The riad has two good-size individually decorated bedrooms both with en-suite designer bathrooms and harmoniously combines traditional features with striking modern design and all home comforts. Daily breakfast and maid service is included.

Dar Raja boasts two rooftop terraces, offering panoramic views over beautiful gardens and the venerable Koutoubia Mosque the city’s landmark. Here you can relax, sunbathe and soak up the sun after a dip in the safe pool. Dar Raja is the perfect place to calm the mind and enliven the senses.

The Marrakech / Essaouira / Marrakech Region region

Unchanged since the Middle Ages, Marrakesh's solid ramparts encircle and protect its mysterious labyrinthine medina, which hides sultans' palaces, the ornate mansions of rich merchants, and some of the most colourful bazaars in the Arab world. The Djemaa el Fna square in Marrakech is an open-air theatre. By day it sports clusters of stalls selling fresh orange juice, plants, dried fruit and nuts.

By night, it fills up with snake charmers, storytellers, belly dancers, musicians and crowds of onlookers. On one side are open air BBQs, which waft delectable meat scents across the square; on the other are rooftop cafes from which you can watch the night unfold. And all around are the souks: an overwhelming array of stalls which wind their way down narrow paths, selling a fabulous selection of leather slippers, ceramics, beautiful cowhide lamps, traditional rugs and wood carvings.

Shopping here is addictive stuff. Riad Dar Raja is just a 7-minute stroll from this famous sqare and the souks. And is also close in proximity to 'Hivernage', where the majority of prestigious hotels,casinos,clubs and restaurants are to be found..The area is easily accessible by car and there is 24hr car parking nearby.

The Marrakech City / Medina area

Places to visit: Souks, Medersa ben Youssef, Dar si said, palais Bahia, Jem el fna square, Majorelle gardens and many others...

"It is the most lovely spot in the whole world." said Winston S. Churchill to Franklin D. Roosevelt about Marrakech in 1943. Its is easy to agree, as the location of this 1000 year-old city has something for everyone.
Our local Manager can arrange day trips to the fascinating Berber villages of the nearby Atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley, to the pretty seaside fishing port and beach resort of Essaouira, as well as 3 day/2 night excursions to the Sahara desert. Details on request.

“A Little Piece of Heaven...” Marrakech is a magical place and so is the Riad Dar Raja. A small oasis where you can relax after visiting the souks or walking the wonderfully chaotic streets of the Medina. It is located at the... more

“An Architectural Gem in the Medina” Dar Raja is a quiet surprise at the end of a small street near the Mamounia Hotel.

“beautiful place & amazing location” I have to say I cant think of anything bad to say about this riad - it is simply spectacular. Location, facilities and sylish decor. A real slice of luxury and style in marrakech. It is very peaceful compared to many places in and around the medina and for that I was very thankful as it can all get a bit much.This rias backs onto beautiful gardens and is a world away from the craziness, noise and smells of the medina. A true haven! I would highly reccommend staying here to anyone. The only people who may not like it are ones with small children as it has an amazing plunge pool (well needed in the summer months) but it is on the same floor as the lounge/kitchen with no way to block it off.. A real trwat for us grown ups though! Thank you for making such a special place to stay in. I will be back!

“A very enjoyable stay all round..” Dar Raja is a lovely Riad, located very close to all the major points of interest. We were the first guests to stay and it certainly exceeded all our expectations. The design and styling of the Riad was exceptional and the bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable. We spent lots of time up on the spacious roof terrace which overlooks the famous 'La Mamounia' gardens. The staff were polite and helpful and provided a tasty breakfast each morning at a time of our choosing. We were there as a family (with 2 older children) and the Riad made our stay in Marrakech a most enjoyable one - we'd certainly recommend it to friends.
