Riad Lyla

Riad Lyla is an authentic guest house located at 4-5 Derb Ouartani Mouassine in Marrakech's medina, steps from Jemaa el Fna square and within walking distance of the Ben Youssef Medersa, Koutoubia Mosque, and traditional souks. Dating to the late 18th century, the restored riad features two courtyards with mature plantings, a working swimming pool—uncommon for medina riads—and multiple landscaped terraces offering views over the surrounding neighbourhood. The property offers six room types ranging from 20–45 square metres, accommodating 1–4 guests at €99–€159 nightly. Guest services include a restaurant (advance booking required for house guests), wellness massages with argan oil, airport transfers, and arrangements for excursions including quad biking, hot-air balloons, camel rides in the Agafay Desert, and golf. The riad operates as a guesthouse rather than a hotel, maintaining an intimate, curated hospitality approach suited to travellers seeking immersion in the medina's historic quarters and cultural context.
