Riad Belharra

We had stayed in Riad Belharra for my dad’s 50th birthday and the stay was exceptionally good. This was our first time visiting Marrakesh and we will definitely be returning to the same riad. The layout of the riad is amazing with two pools and all the decor is modern. Maria, the housekeeper, was amazing and so helpful. She provided us everything we needed and even helped arrange a cake we needed for the birthday. The rooms are very clean and all 3 rooms have an en-suite with AC’s in every room. Sylvie, the owner, was so lovely. She checked up on us and made sure our stay was pleasant. It is a lovely riad to go with your friends or family and I will definitely be visiting again. It is really a hidden treasure! 😍

The riad is quite hidden in alleyways with stray cats and it does smell unpleasant, so it doesn’t seem like the place would be nice when we first were walking towards it. However, I was completely wrong. The riad is beautiful and close by to local markets where everyone is so friendly. There are many small markets selling different things and we spent our evenings here making friends. There is local markets selling food and water too which is perfect when you’re too tired to travel to the main square. Location is perfect as you can walk about 15 mins to main attractions.

The riad is absolutely stunning, with an interior pool in the living/dining area with a retractable glass roof overhead, an excellent roof deck with pools and views of Marrakech- on a clear day you can see the Atlas Mountains in the distance. The beds were very comfortable and large, and each room had recently updated bathrooms with handheld and waterfall options I. The showers. The location is right in the heart of the Medina. Maria prepared us delicious breakfasts and was very welcoming and kind, and took us to an amazing spot to get lunch. Overall one of the best rental properties I have stayed at- 10/10.

I liked every thing, but the property should leave guests the exact gps coordinates to get back to the Riad, it did not come up correctly on Google or Apple Maps. We had tagged ourselves at the local restaurant so we’re able to get back after a bit of wandering around the Medina trying to find our way, but for us that was part of the experience. Also as European and Snerican travelers we did not know that staff would be in the Riad working during the day, but Maria snd the other workers were extremely helpful, good people. Also recommend downloading French and Arabic dictionaries to Google translate to facilitate communication.

This is my 3rd Riad I have stayed in and by far the best. The host is super communicative and available when you need her. The Riad is definitely 5 stars! When my son and I arrived, we could not believe how amazing it was. The pictures, even though great, does not show the significance of the place. Centrally located, about a 10–12-minute walk to the Medina. Maria took care of us, and she is top notch! The food is fantastic as well. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much for hosting us in your fabulous Riad.

Absolutely nothing!
