Riad Enija

Riad Enija Review

Walking into this unmarked riad at the end of an anonymous derb is like stepping into another world. Owners Ursula and Bjorn have blended modern sculptures and fabrics with extraordinarily well-preserved Moroccan architecture and decor, at times creating an almost futuristic effect. This marvelous maison d'hôte comprises two spacious riads linked by a stunning corridor hung with dazzling scarlet silks. One courtyard is a giant tangle of plants and trees, with a tiny space for dining, while the other, fountain-filled courtyard is good for reading, dozing, or enjoying a quiet sunset cocktail. Large guest rooms have fans and high ceilings, so they tend to stay cool, and the luxuriously spacious bathrooms are works of art in themselves, with sunken baths, tiles, and tadlak finishes. A spa offering massage and herbal treatments completes the idyll. Cookery classes also offered, and meals are available on request.
