About this property
Tucked within the Marrakech medina, Riad Mentha is a beautifully restored retreat with serene courtyards, vibrant flowers, and a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views of the Atlas Mountains. With six en-suite bedrooms for up to thirteen guests, it’s perfect for groups or celebrations. Guests are looked after by a dedicated team of three, with breakfast included and additional meals prepared on request by the riad’s talented cook. The house combines tradition and comfort, blending antiques, local craftsmanship, and characterful art with modern touches such as Egyptian cotton linens and high-quality mattresses.
Behind its modest entrance, Mentha reveals a peaceful haven with a pool, hammam, and massage facilities for total relaxation. The roof terrace is an inviting sun trap, ideal for unwinding with views across the medina rooftops. Brahim, the attentive manager and concierge, can arrange excursions to the mountains, desert, or coast, as well as activities from golf to restaurant reservations, ensuring a seamless and memorable stay.
Riad Mentha is in the very heart of the old town or medina, about five minutes walk from the big square and the souks. Despite this it is very peaceful and tranquil. The derb it sits on is too narrow for cars so there is no traffic noise. There is a team of drivers to collect guests from the airport or station, and Brahim is on hand to guide guests to the house - tricky at first as the medina is like a rabbit warren!
Fishing, ski-ing and golf are all readily available - Brahim can arrange trips for all of them, and also white-water rafting, hot air ballooning, beach, and desert overnight trips. There is parking about five minutes away.

A jewel in the heart of the Medina! We had an unforgettable stay at Riad Mentha. We particularly appreciated the kindness of Mouad and Brahim, the exceptional cuisine of Henia, the quality of the services and the decoration. Everything was more than perfect!
