Riad Nyla Wellness and Spa Marrakech
Two riads, one secret rooftop passage, joined above the Marrakech medina
Riad Nyla is two riads joined at roof level, tucked into the Dar El Bacha quarter of the Marrakech medina. A hidden passage links the pair across the tiles, so guests move between buildings without setting foot in the street below. The property was shaped by architect Mattia Siviero and designer Corinne Dressler, who set zellige tilework, carved wood, and plain plaster walls against beige, terracotta, and olive tones drawn from the region. Patios are lit by candle in the evening. Eleven rooms and suites range from Kaïa and Noor upstairs to Mellah, Koutoubia, and Kasbah in a newer ground-floor wing, with Ya Amar opening directly onto the riad's central pool. The spa anchors the property, with a hammam, heated pool, sauna, and whirlpool, plus two treatment rooms and a separate beauty room. It is open to outside visitors by appointment as well as guests. A rooftop bar and restaurant sit above the courtyards, alongside a private gym and a fireplace for cooler evenings. The medina's souks and the Koutoubia Mosque lie within walking distance. Riad Nyla takes guests aged 14 and over, which keeps the mood deliberately quiet. Booking runs direct through the property for the widest room choice.
