About this property
Tucked within Marrakech’s historic Kasbah, behind tall ochre walls, Riad Bahae is a serene sanctuary that beautifully merges Moroccan tradition with modern design. Reimagined by Belgian designer Charles Kaisin, this thirteen-bedroom residence revolves around a dramatic central courtyard where vaulted archways frame a tranquil, heated pool surrounded by fragrant greenery and soft linen canopies. Each suite has its own character, many featuring fireplaces, private terraces, or garden access, combining handcrafted zellige mosaics and antique furnishings with contemporary comfort and underfloor heating.
At its heart, the riad’s elegant lounge bar showcases a striking mosaic inspired by Jamaâ El Fna, while the vaulted dining library offers a refined setting for evening gatherings. Crowning the property, a vast rooftop terrace reveals sweeping Medina views, a cocktail bar, and relaxed lounging spaces. With a 200m² spa and attentive staff, Riad Bahae offers a soulful blend of heritage, artistry, and tranquility.
Riad Bahae sits within Marrakech’s historic Imperial Kasbah, one of the city's oldest and most distinguished quarters. From here, guests can walk to some of the Red City’s most iconic landmarks. The Saadian Tombs lie just five minutes away, while the ornate Bahia Palace and bustling Jemaa El Fna square are a fifteen-minute stroll through the winding, character-filled lanes of the Medina.
Despite its central setting, the riad offers remarkable tranquillity. The surrounding streets are quieter than many parts of the old town, with beautifully preserved riads, artisan workshops and discreet local cafés dotted throughout. This is an ideal base for travellers looking to immerse themselves in authentic Marrakech, with museums, gardens and spice-filled souks all within easy reach, yet with a private rooftop terrace and spa to return to when the city fades into dusk.
Please note that the kitchen is for staff usage only; guests are not allowed to cook or prepare any meal. Usage of the kitchen for nibbles (tea, coffee, sandwich, etc.) might be allowed prior to agreement with the owner/property manager.
