On hot afternoons, the soothing sound of the trickling fountain and the deep shadows bring a welcome cool to the sugar-white interior courtyard of Riad Blanc ("White Riad" in French). This intimate and elegant riad is reminiscent of the famous white hilltop villages of Andalucía in southern Spain.
Elaborate wrought iron railings and window grills, potted palms and orange trees, and a turquoise-tiled plunge pool evoke the sensual languor and Moroccan roots of Andalucía. One of the most distinctive features of Riad Blanc in Marrakech is its duplex roof terrace, where guests can bask in the sun on cotton canvas-covered lounge beds and while the day away.
