Company information

Property information

Discover an oasis for your soul in the historic 10th-century Medina of Marrakesh. Riad Botanica, opening in Jan 2023 - is a place to reconnect to yourself, indulge your senses and reinvigorate your curiosity and wonder of the beauty that is LIFE. Recently renovated to an immaculate standard, this project has been a labour of love for an Australian/ Moroccan husband and wife team merging styles with careful consideration to the traditional craftsmanship of the local artisans and the awareness of the need for spaces and places for people to unwind and reconnect, Riad Botanica was born.​ This original aristocratic residence now boasts six deluxe guest rooms with ensuites, each unique in a design inspired by the ancient healing properties of plants and the beauty of their flowers. Boasting traditional Moroccan features, fixtures, and furnishings, which all come together with iconic Australian art deco design flair from Florence Broadhurst. Riad Botanica harnesses the power of nature celebrated symbolically by the central orange tree. Every plant at Riad Botanica is purposeful as we look to the natural world around us in order to heal. Each plant can be used for medicinal purposes through food, tea or inhalation. Nature grounds us and encourages us to breathe deeply and to go within to invigorate the soul. Reigniting the senses as soon as you step foot into Riad Botanica.

Neighbourhood information

Honestly, we are located in a very safe, friendly neighbourhood with easy-to-access everything. A quick trip to the Airport and close to the new city we are in the coveted suburb of Bab Doukkala in the heart of the Medina. Coming to the Median has so much charm, it's like you are going back in time (200 years) it's busy, the streets are too small for cars everyone knows everyone and what is going on! hahaha
