Vacation Rental Description
The riad is built around a courtyard, on three levels, rising to the terrace with wonderful panoramic views and the Atlas mountains in the distance.
The terrace is designed for relaxing. It has sun-beds, a furnished tent (for shade and cool) and a table for breakfast and dinner.
Riad Najmati especially welcomes those who want to experience the very largely unspoilt heart of an ancient North African city renowned for its history, music, culture, architecture, vibrant life and welcoming people.

From the moment Abdellah meets you at the airport or station he will look after you and make sure your stay is enjoyable. He prepares and serves your breakfast. If requested he will cook dinners or bar-b-q's from the riad menu. The riad has all the facilities and charm you would expect from a faithfully restored building dating back about 400 years, using authentic local tiles, decorations and materials. It is offered on a bed and breakfast basis, with self-catering facilities as well. The resident manager is on site for the comfort and security of guests.

Further Details:

Access to the riad in through well lit, narrow, flat lanes. The nearest taxis can come to the riad is 500 yards. There are no specially adapted facilities for those with mobility problems or wheelchairs. Sorry. There are two steep staircases, with handrails.

Coast/Beach
The nearest coast and natural beaches are at Essaouria which is two hours by coach or car (165 km). A trip to Essaouria makes an enjoyable day's excursion and Abdellah can make the arrangements on your behalf, or drive you if preferred.

Golf
There are many well designed 18 hole golf courses on the outskirts of Marrakesh, within 20 minutes of the riad. They include, amongst many, the Royal Golf Club, the Amelkis Golf Club and the Palmarie Golf Club.

Skiing
Skiing is available one hour from Marrakesh, and a new ski lift has been installed at Oukaimeden (75km). It is usually possible to hire the ski lift even in the summer to take you to the summit for a wonderful view. Negotiate a price on the spot.

Travel Options
  • Nearest Airport : Marrakesh Menara at 8 kilometers distance;
  • Nearest Train Station : Marrakesh at 3 kilometers distance
  • Nearest Town : Marrakesh at 0 kilometers distance
  • Travel Info: Marrakesh Menara is the nearest airport and it has the great advantages of being clean, new, spacious, and only 10 minutes from the riad by taxi. Abdellah, or another member of staff, will meet you and the taxi fare is included in the price. There is no need to hire a car if you plan to stay in Marrakesh all the time, but cars for hire are readily available if required for excursions/trips. Large taxis or a minibus can be hired for day trips at very reasonable rates. Mountain bikes can also be hired for exploring the nearby Atlas mountains.

Owner Location Comment
Why do I like Morocco? The openness of this close, friendly Islamic country (home to Berbers and Arabs), the unspoilt gracefulness of its people and landscape, its excellent wines and varied cultures were simply irresistible. To say nothing of its art and architecture, of which the riad is a modest, authentic example. I still cannot believe my luck! Why not see if you agree with me? The riad is home for me when in Marrakesh (my main home is in London). It is a delightful alternative to identikit and impersonal hotels. It is proving to be a very popular destination for those looking for a family-friendly and private holiday, backed-up with personal service from me. The riad is spacious and ideal for those wanting a quiet holiday - within easy reach of the Atlas mountains and Atlantic coast - and only 3 hours from London.

Review Submitted: 6/6/2011

Just enjoyed a memorable stay in Marrakesh with my wife to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary. The accommodation at Riad Najmati played no small part in making our stay so memorable. The riad, located very near to the cultural hotspot that is the Jmna El Fna, was very well laid out and met our needs perfectly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this 'oasis of tranquility' and would stay here again when I re-visit. Thank you Abdellah (resident manager) for all your support and efforts!

Richard Kirker, the owner, deals with all bookings Why chose a holiday at my home in Marrakesh?

This property is a holiday home for my partner and I but we want you to enjoy it as well. We love it - and think you will too! I am London-based and have taken early retirement after 30 years working as a CEO of a charitable campaigning organisation. My aim in life now is to do my best to make your holiday enjoyable and to appreciate why we crave to be here as much as possible. I am confident you will not be disappointed. Contact me for further information. I want to answer any questions you may have.


Why did I choose a home in this location?
Why do I like Morocco? The openness of this nearby, friendly Islamic country (home to Berbers and Arabs), the unspoilt gracefulness of its people and landscape, its excellent wines and varied cultures were simply irresistible. To say nothing of its art and architecture, of which the riad is a modest example. I still can't believe my luck! Why not see if you agree with me? The riad is home for me when in Marrakesh (my main home is in London). It is a delightful alternative to identikit and impersonal hotels. It is proving to be a very popular destination for those looking for a family-friendly and private holiday, backed-up with personal service from me. The riad is spacious and ideal for those wanting a quiet holiday - within easy reach of mountains and coast - only 3 hours from London.

What are the unique benefits of the riad?
You will be both as close to and as far away from the centre of life in the heart of Marrakesh as you wish. Leave the riad and immediately enter the earthiness, vibrancy and colours of a world that has been largely unaltered for hundreds of years; return and you are in an oasis of authentic, tasteful tranquility where you do exactly what you want, when you want it, secure in a safe, quiet home surrounded by all you need. Eat in, or eat out. Drink sweet tea, admirable local wine or smoothies made from the wide variety of local fruits. Ask Abdellah to arrange a massage or tour or carhire. Visit a hamman (like a Turkish bath). Curl up and watch DVD's, listen to CD's, read (there is a small library) or plan an excursion. The feedback consistently says I have been very lucky to attract such a good, amiable manager in Abdellah.
