1001 Nights at Riad Enija Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco

Riad Enija, called the mother of all Riads in Marrakech, is a 'thousand and one nights' experience. With 4 palace houses connected through corridors and only 9 suites and 6 rooms, Riad Enija is the perfect place to escape the lively Medina in Marrakech.

After having looked at more than 200 properties in Marrakech, the owners fell in love with the aristocratic beauty of this Riad, restoring it with respect to the Islamic art and architecture.

For the interior, the owners have mixed furnishings, art pieces from their own collection and a lot of candles with old antique Berber carpets. The property also features a big garden and several roof terraces. As Ursula, the owner, describes: 'We want to give people the dream they had before coming here.'

Staying at Riad Enija is like 'a journey to the sublime realm of peace'. Ursula: 'The kind of luxury we offer is for people who understand this philosophy.' Guests should experience the house and not be distracted by a mini bar, a television or telephone. There are even no locks on the beautiful historic doors. 'We offer the possibility to wind down, to be and enjoy.'
