Welcome to The Berber Duchess Riad – your home in the heart of Marrakech. Once the residence of a local judge in ancient times, our riad was beautifully redesigned by renowned architect Quentin Wilbaux, blending authentic Moroccan charm with understated elegance. Tucked away in the pedestrian part of the Medina, The Berber Duchess offers a serene escape with a refreshing swimming pool, panoramic rooftop terrace, and magical sunsets. The atmosphere is intimate and relaxed – a place that instantly makes you feel at home. Enjoy a healthy homemade breakfast daily, and if you wish, lunch and dinner can also be prepared by our Moroccan Mamma chef. On cooler evenings, relax by one of our many fireplaces or unwind in the cosy Bedouin tent on the rooftop terrace. Whether you’re here for culture, cuisine, or calm, The Berber Duchess offers carefully curated experiences – from massages, hammams, and cooking classes to private walking tours and insider shopping trips. Let us know your budget and interests, and we’ll tailor something just for you. Perfect for solo travellers, couples, families, or groups, the riad can be booked by the room or taken on an exclusive-use basis. We’re located just five minutes from the bustling Spice Market, in a quiet corner that’s still close to the heart of the action. Stay connected with our high-speed fibre optic Wi-Fi as you soak up the magic of Marrakech. Your Moroccan adventure starts here – where tradition meets style and every moment is unforgettable.

We’re located in a calm and quiet cul-de-sac in the Azbezt area, just a 5-minute walk from the Spice Market, Marrakech Museum, and Ben Youssef Madrasa , making our riad the perfect base for sightseeing. Though we’re close to all the action, our peaceful location still allows you to hear birdsong – a rare treat in the Medina. Within a 5-minute walk, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the souks, with restaurants, cafés, shops, and spas all around. The famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square is only 12 minutes away on foot. We’re based in one of the oldest quarters in Marrakech, dating back to the 11th century. From here, you can easily explore on foot, hop on a tuk tuk, or we can help arrange a taxi for you.
