The riad
A guest house with seven rooms in the palm grove of Tifoultoute, built by hand between 2008 and 2018, ten minutes from the airport and eleven from the town centre.
Our story
- 2008
Work begins on a plot the villagers used as a dump
- 10 years
Of building by hand with skilled local craftsmen
- 2018
The riad opens its doors to guests
- Today
Seven rooms, each with its own name
The host
What your heart desires, your spirit attains.
The idea for the riad was born more than a decade ago, when Younes, a traveller from the south of Morocco, wanted a place that would show the culture and the beauty of his homeland.
The land he found was a plot where villagers threw their rubbish; its owner was happy to get rid of it. Younes saw something else. Construction started in 2008 and, after ten years of work with skilled local craftsmen, the riad opened its doors in 2018.
It mixes East and West, modern and traditional: art deco touches from around the world, Moroccan stucco, zellige and hand made furniture, in the middle of an oasis.
