Riad Nyla Wellness & Spa
Minimalist-Moroccan wellness sanctuary. Quieter and more pared-back than most medina riads — neutral beige, terracotta, ivory, and olive tones instead of typical vivid color overload. The vibe is slow, intentional, and couple-centric.

Why It Matters
One of very few properties in the Medina that occupies two complete riads side by side, connected by a private rooftop passage. Michelin Guide selected. The subterranean spa with a turquoise-tiled heated pool is a genuine standout, and the panoramic rooftop pool with medina skyline views is among the most photogenic in Marrakech.
Riad Nyla is two traditional riads sitting side by side in Marrakech's Medina, connected by a secret passage on the rooftop. Italian architect Mattia Siviero and interior designer Corinne Dressler conceived the project as a marriage of Moroccan tradition and contemporary calm — earth tones, zellige mosaic floors, Essaouira stone columns, Moucharabie woodwork, and golden pendant lights. It's adults-only (14+), explicitly romance- and wellness-focused, and runs to 12 rooms including five suites.
Where You'll Stay
12 room types available
Amal Room
Located upstairs, offering the essence of a comfortable Marrakech stay. An open invitation to relaxation for two.
Bahia Suite
First floor of the new extension. Has a Menzeh (traditional raised viewing platform) in Moucharabie carved wood that overlooks the central 'eye' of the patio. Large double bed, bathroom with large shower and marble toilets. Neutral warm tones for balance and harmony.
Dar El Bacha Suite
Located on the first floor of the second building. Named after the historic Dar El Bacha neighborhood it sits in. Inspired by the local architectural vernacular.
El Badi Room
Decorated as a showcase of Moroccan craftsmanship — traditional spirit, finely worked materials, and elegant detailing. Located on the first floor of the new riad extension, about 20 meters from the main building. Has a large double or twin bed configuration.
Kaïa Suite
The most spacious option — designed for two or three guests who want a genuinely cozy, generous space. Extra room to breathe compared to standard suites.
Kasbah Room
Larger than the El Badi, located on the ground floor of the new extension. Features a double or twin bed, a closet, a separate living area, a bathroom, and a shower. Colorful — an ode to Moroccan cheerfulness and hospitality.
Koutoubia Suite
On the ground floor of the new extension. All marble interiors — the most opulent material palette in the property. Has a large double bed, desk area, double closet, and fully appointed bathroom. Named after the Koutoubia Mosque nearby.
Mellah Room
Ground floor of the new extension, designed for two. Subtly inspired by Moroccan architecture with calm, neutral tones. Comfortable double-occupancy setup.
Menzeh Room
An ode to nocturnal tranquility. The interior design charms immediately and the comfort cradles guests in deep rest.
Noor Room
Upstairs room designed for two-person comfort. Subtly inspired by Moroccan architecture with an appeasing atmosphere.
Souk Room
The twin of the Mellah Room in layout and design — neutral tones that invite calm and tranquility. A quiet, understated option.
Ya Amar Suite
Directly connected to the central patio pool — one of the most desirable room positions in the property. Offers a serene escape with the water element as a constant visual and auditory backdrop.
