About this property

Nestled in the heart of Marrakech, Riad Aguaviva is a haven of peace where Moroccan authenticity meets modern comfort. As soon as you step through the door, you leave the hustle and bustle of the souks behind and enter a bubble of serenity: a bright patio, a turquoise-coloured swimming pool, and lounges decorated with zellige tiles and carved wood. Here, every detail exudes the Moroccan art of living. The riad has only a few suites, each designed as an invitation to travel. Far from standardised accommodation, Aguaviva charms with its intimate atmosphere and warm welcome: an attentive team who know Marrakech like the back of their hand and generously share its secrets. When you wake up, a traditional breakfast is served on the terrace or by the pool. In the evening, enjoy the calm of the surroundings before diving into the hustle and bustle of the nearby medina. Riad Aguaviva is more than a hotel: it is a refined guest house where you immediately feel at home while enjoying an authentic and elegant Moroccan experience. All rooms have a private bathroom with a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries for your comfort. Free Wi-Fi and private parking are also available. Riad Aguaviva also organises excursions and sightseeing tours. You will be staying 800 metres from the Ben Youssef Madrasa and 1 km from the Marrakech Museum. The nearest airport is Marrakech-Menara Airport, 6 km from Riad Aguaviva. An airport shuttle service can be arranged on request.

Company information

We are a team of INSIDERS. The concept of our Riad goes beyond being a guest house. We take care of the guest and advise him so that he knows the authentic Marrakech !! That is why our team, in addition to managing the functions of the riad, proposes different routes every day. We like to consider our Riad as our home, in which we strive to make the stay of our guests in Marrakech as informed and pleasurable as possible, rather than giving the standard hotel service. Please do not hesitate to share your interests, expectations, plans and what you hope to get out of this trip. Well be delighted to personalize our service as much as we can.

Neighbourhood information

Riad Aguaviva is in the northern area of the medina, in a traditional and quiet neighborhood (one of our fundamental attractions), which allows you to see the reality of everyday life and very interesting places near the riad. This quarter still keeps the authentic essence of Marrakech as it has not yet been invaded by mass tourism. We are 200 meters from the mausoleum of Sidi ben Abbas, 10 minutes from the Ben Youssef madrasa (true epicenter of the medina), about 20 minutes walking to the famous Jmaa LFnaa square and to the Majorelle Garden.
