I love Marrakech. Its vibrant, bustling energy and colours capture your imagination and spirit. The beauty and vastness of the riads are nestled away down cobbled streets behind ornate wooden doors; the maze and delightful offerings of the souks are very tempting (mindful of impulse buying!) and of course the Hammans, where you can while away a restful hour or so of blissful spa treatments. I knew I would always return and have found a beautiful venue for 2026. Let me introduce you to Riad Alkemia, personally curated with passion by friends Veronica and Siliva who will bend over backwards to ensure your stay is blissful.

Cookery Course: c£50 (incl meal - this will be a daytime experience)
Heated pool (24hrs notice): c£25 p/d - not sure we’ll need this as should be mid to late 20s!
Evening meal (their recommendation/within our budget): c£60
Please note there are no minimums required to partake in any of the extras. And the extras are an average cost - for example the evening meal out might be £40; the desert trip will be less if you wish to not have the camel ride, and the Hamman will be less for a more basic massage and more for something more complex. This is simply a guide (converted from Moroccan Dirham to £) and are 2025 prices.
I thought it would be nice to have 4 evening meals in the riad and enjoy 1 meal in the desert and 1 meal at a local restaurant of their recommendation on our last evening together. However - if you do not wish to partake in the desert and/or evening meal out, you can enjoy food at the riad for c£30.
Flights are currently being booked and are c£280 including luggage. Please ask me for details.
