Hôtel Riad Chay & Boutique

About Us

Reserve a Moroccan Riad with a Contemporary Twist.

"What your heart desires, your spirit attains"

To me, Riad Chay is far more than a building. It’s living, breathing proof of what’s possible when you follow your heart and make real your dreams; of the courage to have faith in an idea seemingly beyond reason; of overcoming challenges that come your way and of inspiring and igniting the spirit that lies deep within every one of us.

And it’s my fervent wish that it helps make you feel the same.

Younes

The idea for our guest house in Ouarzazate was born over a decade ago when, as a traveler from the south of Morocco, I was inspired by the rich culture and diverse beauty of my homeland. After years of planning, this dream has become a reality, blending East and West, Modern and Traditional, into a hidden and tranquil gem.

Surrounded by a vast oasis, the guest house offers a serene retreat where the natural beauty of the surroundings fills the space with a peaceful, rejuvenating energy. This haven is designed for those who wish to slow down, reconnect, and revitalize their spirit in a place that embodies the essence of Moroccan tranquility.

The result?

A place to escape and a peace to embrace.

Origins of Riad Chay

 

Our guest house in Ouarzazate began construction in 2008, and after 10 years of meticulous attention to every detail, it opened to the public in 2018. This hidden gem is surrounded by a vast oasis, offering a peaceful retreat for those seeking tranquility and rejuvenation.

The story behind this land is remarkable. Once a place where villagers discarded trash, the previous owner found the land useless and was eager to get rid of it. However, I saw its potential, believed in its transformation, and invested time and care into turning it into the pearl it is today. Through careful renovation and the support of skilled local artisans, we’ve blended contemporary design with classic Moroccan influences, creating a serene oasis now cherished by travelers from around the world.

" They say Paris is for lovers, we say Ouarzazate is also for lovers of peace and calm."
