Riad Luna · Marrakech
A boutique riad hidden within the ancient walls of the Marrakech medina —
where desert twilight meets Moorish elegance.
Each chamber tells its own story — hand-carved cedar ceilings, zellige-tiled bathrooms, and views across the ancient medina rooftops.
Behind an unassuming door in the ancient medina walls lies a world of hand-carved plaster, cedar-wood ceilings, and the gentle sound of mosaic fountains. Riad Luna is more than a hotel — it is a passage into the timeless artistry of Moroccan living.
Every surface tells a story of master craftsmen: the geometric precision of zellige tilework, the flowing calligraphy of carved stucco, the warm glow of brass lanterns casting lacy shadows across tadelakt walls.
Authentic steam bath with argan-oil and black-soap treatments

Orange trees, songbirds, and mosaic fountains
From dawn mint tea beside the fountain to candlelit tagine under the stars — every meal at Riad Luna is a ceremony of the senses.
Our chef Khadija sources each morning from the medina's spice souks and the oases beyond the city walls. Every dish is a tribute to Morocco's culinary legacy — saffron threads from Taliouine, preserved lemons from Mehdia, argan oil from the Essaouira coast.
Dinner is served by candlelight in the courtyard, where the fountain sings and brass lanterns cast their lacy patterns across hand-woven tablecloths.
Our guests leave as friends — carrying with them the scent of orange blossom and the memory of desert light.
From the moment we stepped through the ancient wooden door, we were transported. The courtyard at dusk — lantern light catching the zellige, the fountain murmuring, the call to prayer drifting over the rooftops — it was the most magical place I have ever stayed. Our children still talk about the rooftop breakfast with fresh orange juice, and the cooking class where they learned to make msemen flatbread with Khadija.
The attention to detail is staggering — handmade soap in the bathroom, embroidered linens, a handwritten welcome note. This isn't a hotel; it's someone's love letter to Moroccan craft.
I've traveled to forty countries and stayed in hundreds of hotels. Riad Luna is in my top three, ever. The hammam alone is worth the flight.
We keep our riad intimate — just seven chambers, each one unique. Early reservation is recommended, especially during the orange-blossom season (March–May) and the cool, golden autumn (September–November).
