Riad Yliana

Nestled in the heart of Marrakech's medina, this exceptional property stands out with its rare configuration comprising three independent riads, originally designed to function together and create a seamless, cohesive architectural ensemble. The first riad, completed in September 2022, laid the foundation for the overall project concept, both architecturally and operationally. The second riad, finished in November 2023, enhances the collection with new volumes and features, developed with strict adherence to the original identity, constantly prioritizing comfort, refinement, and the expression of Moroccan craftsmanship. The third riad, currently under construction, is envisioned as a natural link between the first two units, ensuring harmonious circulation and a continuous experience throughout the property. Each unit has been designed with a high level of detail, incorporating a contemporary architectural approach, careful management of space and light, and a comfort level that meets the highest standards. The entire property is currently operated as a luxury guesthouse with a spa, offering great flexibility for full or partial privatization for personalized events. The second unit, featuring seven spacious bedrooms, is distinguished by its ability to operate completely independently. It is perfectly suited for exclusive wellness retreats, private stays, or creative projects such as photoshoots or film productions. The first riad houses the strategic reception and service areas. It is organized around a central patio adorned with a water basin and includes an entrance hall with a main reception, an administrative office, a dedicated staff room, a large professional kitchen, and an indoor restaurant. Five elegantly appointed bedrooms are situated here, complemented by male and female changing rooms for the spa, staff storage with a washroom, and a dumbwaiter connecting the kitchen directly to the terrace. The basement features a complete wellness area including a spa, several treatment and massage rooms, a traditional hammam, a sauna, a heated indoor pool, a jacuzzi, a dedicated client shower, and a technical room. The terrace offers a true elevated living space, complete with a rooftop pool, bar, dining area, outdoor lounge, shower, technical room, and client restrooms, creating a favored spot for relaxation and socializing. The second riad is designed for autonomous operation. It boasts seven spacious and bright bedrooms organized around a central patio with a fountain, perfectly suited for hosting activities such as cooking classes, yoga sessions, or dinners for up to forty guests. It features an independent entrance with a dedicated reception, a boutique at the entrance, and a staff room. The basement houses a gym, a massage room currently set up as a meeting room, storage spaces, as well as changing rooms and restrooms for staff. The terrace is equipped with a functional kitchen, a lounge with a fireplace, and dining tables for organizing meals or events for up to forty to forty-five people, with adjacent client restrooms. The third riad completes the ensemble by ensuring architectural and functional continuity. It plans to accommodate five bedrooms arranged around a reimagined patio designed as a refined space dedicated to breakfasts and meals. The spa extension includes two additional massage rooms, a traditional hammam, a jacuzzi, and a private spa, further enhancing the existing wellness offerings. The entire property has been designed to ensure optimal comfort year-round, with complete thermal insulation, individual air conditioning and heating in each room, patios equipped with sliding glass roofs, wide staircases, large-format Italian ceramic flooring, double glazing, and artisanal Moroccan finishes including carved wood, zelliges, and custom furniture. The property enjoys notable international recognition, having been featured in numerous prestigious publications dedicated to design, lifestyle, and travel. It has been selected by the Michelin Guide and is listed on esteemed platforms such as Best Riads Morocco and Top World Hotels. Client reviews reflect a remarkable satisfaction level, with a score of 9.6 on Booking.com, an average of 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor, and 4.8/5 on Google, indicating a high retention rate and longer-than-average stays observed in the medina.
