Riad Jardin Secret, Traditional guest house in Marrakech medina, Morocco.
Riad Jardin Secret is a guest house in Marrakech's medina featuring traditional Moroccan architecture arranged around a central courtyard. Rooms display hand-painted ceilings, zellige tile floors, and bathrooms finished with tadelakt plaster throughout.
This establishment follows the design of wealthy Marrakech residences and preserves centuries-old Moroccan building traditions. The central garden layout comes from an ancient concept where private gardens served as retreats for affluent families.
The name refers to the hidden garden courtyard, traditionally reserved only for family use in Moroccan homes. Visitors can experience this private retreat today, which reflects how people lived in these intimate spaces.
The property is located in the winding old town and is best reached on foot, as streets are too narrow for vehicles. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes when walking the uneven cobblestone paths outside.
Since 2016, the property runs an artist residency program inviting creators to develop work in an inspiring setting. Rooms intentionally lack televisions and air conditioning to encourage guests to spend time together.
