An adults-only, seven-room riad in the Kasbah quarter, run personally by owner Laurence.

Riad Charme d'Orient is a seven-room riad in the Kasbah quarter, near the Kasbah Mosque and Bahia Palace, restored in Arabic-Andalusian style with a Thousand-and-One-Nights theme. Owner Laurence runs it personally, and reviewers consistently name individual staff — Fatima, Soufian, Said — a sign of how small and hands-on the operation stays.

A courtyard pool, hammam, massage and spa services are all on site, along with air-conditioned rooms and a Moroccan restaurant. The adults-only policy is worth noting upfront: this is a quiet, couples-and-solo-traveller property by design, not a family stay.

Why we chose it

• Adults-only — a stated house policy, not an incidental detail
• Just seven rooms, owner-managed by Laurence rather than a management company
• A courtyard pool, hammam and spa inside a genuinely small property

Amenities

• Courtyard pool
• Hammam, massage and spa services
• Adults-only policy
• On-site Moroccan restaurant
