About Us

Our Heritage

A Journey Through History in the Heart of Marrakech

Ideally located in the heart of Marrakech's medina, just steps from the magnificent Bahia Palace, Riad Melhoun & Spa is a true haven of peace immersed in Moroccan culture. Built in the 15th century, it was once the refuge of influential elite, witness to the splendor brought by the Almoravides, who shaped Marrakech into a radiant capital, inspired by Andalusian riches.

With its refined architecture and enchanting atmosphere, Riad Melhoun embodies the art of ancient living. Its name, derived from the Arabic term "Melhoun," refers to Arabo-Andalusian music, symbol of an era when Marrakech shone in its splendor.

Amazing Staff Hammam Experience

"From the moment we arrived, the service was amazing and we were treated like family. The riad is so beautiful and peaceful even though it is so centrally located. It was walking distance to everything in the city and felt very safe. A highlight was the private lunch the staff made for us on the final day by the pool which was so special and the best food we had whilst in Morocco."
