The impulse
The desire comes first. The programme comes later.
There is that plan you keep postponing: four days together, far from diaries, somewhere time slows down.
At Melqa, nobody asks you to choose between discovering Marrakech and doing absolutely nothing. Each day is written in the morning, over mint tea, according to the mood of the group.
A medina that belongs to you for the length of a stay
Only you
The riad is yours alone: patio, sitting rooms, roof terrace. No other guests, no fixed schedules.
Made to measure
Every day is composed with you: medina, Atlas Mountains, a good table, hammam — or simply the plunge pool and a book.
Looked after
Isabelle and the team arrange everything beforehand: transfers, bookings, trusted guides.
The house
Three bedrooms, one house, your group
- 3 double bedrooms, up to 6 travellers — friends, family, loved ones.
- Patio, plunge pool, sitting rooms and panoramic roof terrace for your exclusive use.
- Moroccan breakfast served every morning at the hour you choose.
- Daily assistance from 9am to 8pm, in French, English and Spanish.
- In the heart of the medina, minutes from Jemaa el-Fna square.
The rhythm
Four days, nothing compulsory
Day 2
Leaving the city
Lunch in the Atlas Mountains or a nomad dinner in Agafay: a shared tagine, far from everything.
Day 3
Coming back together
Medina, artisans, hammam. In the evening, a long table on a Marrakech rooftop.
Day 4
Leaving later
A last breakfast, sunset if your flight allows it, then the transfer to the airport.
The table
What we remember: the meals
Moroccan breakfast, prepared fresh each morning: warm breads, baghrir, sfenj, honey, argan oil and freshly pressed orange juice.
In the evening, dinner at the riad around one long table, or a booking at one of our trusted addresses in Marrakech.
The encounters
Marrakech, through the people who live there
A women's cooperative, a pottery workshop, a perfumer: we open the doors you would not find on your own.
Nothing compulsory, nothing staged. Simply genuine encounters, chosen with you the day before.
A breath
Time for yourself, in the middle of the group
Traditional hammam and argan oil massages, at the riad or in a partner spa in the medina.
An hour of silence for each of you, before meeting the others again on the terrace.
Families, tribes, lifelong friends
Parents and grown-up children, two couples, a group of friends: Melqa suits every way of being together.
