Riad Arabic House & Spa

Forty paces off a narrow derb in the Medina, Riad Arabic House & Spa keeps a traditional courtyard layout intact, with a central plunge pool and citrus trees shading the ground-floor lounge from the midday heat.

Rooms open onto the courtyard rather than a corridor, so upper floors get more privacy and better light. The spa runs a hammam and massage room off a side riad wing, useful after the walk back from Jemaa el-Fnaa, roughly ten minutes on foot through the souks.

Staff arrange taxi pickups to the medina gates, since cars cannot reach the door directly.
