Riad de Tarabel

Ten rooms and suites is all Tarabel needs to be able to craft its very own wonderland. In terms of bumping into other guests – you are passing ships in the night, and what a mesmerising, candle-lit night that is. An enchanting choice was made to have no designated restaurant, but instead, have staff on hand to dress a table at any given moment, depending on where guests want to dine for that particular meal of the day. One of our personal favourite spots? The summer lounge. It’s an open terrace, with views that span the courtyard. It’s lined with candelabras which intermittently flickers along to the call to prayer which echoes the medina.

Wooden ceiling fans silently swing in the humid Moroccan air – offering even more of a retreat from the humidity that hangs outside. Wonky candlesticks can be found around each corner. Something so very perfect in it’s imperfection. There is an air of mysterious quirkiness in Tarabel – it is not all as it seems. From the grand mirror that at the push of a hidden button, becomes the entrance to their own spa, to closets within the bedrooms that reveal a shower room – one stay would never be enough to unearth the finest details of the place.
