Riad Melhoun & Spa

We really couldn't recommend Riad Melhoun and Spa highly enough. A truly outstanding oasis of calm, just a 3-minute walk from the cacophony of noise, smells, and culture that is Marrakesh. After absorbing the madness of the souk, what a treat to dip into the coolness of the ground floor poor, afterwards drying off in the quietness and heat of the terrace, complete with its warm pool, or treat yourself to a hamam and massage. Staff were outstanding from start to finish, orientating us with maps and tips, arranging transport, and always friendly, helpful, and thoroughly professional. Food was absolutely delicious, the beef tagine our highlight! Breakfast on the terrace was simply a daily delight.

We absolutely loved our stay! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The highlight for us was the amazing chicken and vegetable soup, which we called the Melhoun Soup. It was so delicious that we had it three times during our stay. We also really enjoyed having breakfast on the terrace every morning; it was such a lovely way to start the day. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They even removed all the rugs from our room because of my allergies, which I truly appreciated. The location was perfect, and everything was spotless. We would happily stay here again

We were looking for a place to rest mostly for long-weekend trip and Riad Melhoun was the absolute right choice. Prior to arrival, the Staff were very responsive, and addressed all our questions and queries. From the minute we entered the Riad, they were very kind and friendly, making sure we are feeling comfortable and enjoying our stay. They were always there when we needed and gave privacy while we were resting. We particularly selected Melhoun for its traditional and elegant design, and it is truly admirable; you can easily observe the attention to details and care given. The Jakuzzi-type pool on the rooftop was also a big plus. We highly recommend having lunch and/or dinner at the Riad. We tried several restaurants outside as well, but the ones we enjoyed the most were the ones at the Riad. A big shout out to Riad’s cooks. We found the location also very good. In-house spa facility was also fantastic. After a professional calming massage, getting into your own room in 1 minute to relax was the best way to recover from a long trip. We cannot recommend Riad Melhoun enough!

We had the most incredible stay here from the moment we walked in the door and were served a delicious glass of Moroccan Mint Tea. Everything about the Riad exceeded our expectations but what really set it apart was all of the amazing staff. Everyone working here went above and beyond. On our first morning Noir provided us with a map and took the time to plan out a walking tour for each of our days in Marrakech and each day we came back to beautiful towel arrangements and roses left for us in our room. We had dinner here several nights and found it to be the best meals we had for our entire trip, especially the marriage tagine! But what really made our stay here so special was the connections we made with the staff, especially Jamal and Abdul, and the genuine conversations we had with them while staying here. I had told them one night at dinner I had bought a tea pot to make mint tea at home and I loved the tea glasses they used at the Riad but hadn't been able to find them anywhere. On our last night they surprised me with a set of the tea glasses then took the time to show me how to make the mint tea so I could bring a piece of Morocco home with me. We had such a hard time leaving but are already planning our next trip back. We are recommending this Riad to everyone we know!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel at home, the staff are absolutely exceptional, extremely helpful, friendly and go out of their way for you. The Riad is situated perfectly for getting around the Medina and for getting out if you want to (we went hot air ballooning which was organised by the manager) highly recommend! They sorted our transfers to and from the airport as well so it was a very smooth pleasant experience. The accommodation itself was absolutely stunning, it felt very Moroccan and is a peaceful oasis from the hustle and bustle of the streets of Marrakech. Rooftop pool was lovely and our room was really really beautiful. We also discovered the best food we had throughout our entire trip was in the riad, no word of a lie, the chicken tagine is absolutely f**king insane, literally out of this world! Shout out to the cook! We had a hammam and relaxing tonic massage there as well which was fabulous, particularly the hammam, we felt reborn and then slept like logs. All in all, 10/10, maybe 11/10. Love from Briege and Zach ☺️
