The Bohemian Jungle is a beautifully choreographed riad, close to the spice square in Marrakech.
Straight out of a tale from Arabian Nights, Riad Bohemian Jungle exudes charm and authenticity.
The interior decor is simply captivating, with several magical nooks and crannies to sit and take in its splendour.
The little pool in the centre of the courtyard is ideal for cooling off in.
The green tiles and exotic plants are stunning focal points of the riad.
The rooftop is truly decadent.
There are pretty pink flowers, which drape into the courtyard below, plants and moroccan lanterns.
A balinese bed for relaxing on and catching some sun rays, and a cerise, romantic boudoir area, where the staff play traditional tuareg music.
There are areas to sit in the shade and relax with a book.
This is perfect for when the hot morroccan sun reaches its highest temperature in the day.
The riad lives up to its name. It certainly is a jungle.
The riad is run by young men from the Sahara region, and they enjoy sharing their fascinating culture with guests.
The breakfasts are varied and wholesome, consisting of a mix of traditional pancakes, honey, and jam.
Fresh bread, fruit, yoghurt, and eggs.
Fresh orange juice and coffee.
When you arrive at the riad, you are treated to the complimentary mint tea and biscuits, whilst you are given useful advice and a map to help you navigate the souks.
This becomes helpful for finding your way back to the riad.
The fragrance inside the riad is intoxicating as orange blossom, and cinnamon oil gently floats on the air.
During the evening, lamps glow, and traditional Berber music plays subtly in the background.
I never wanted to leave.
I was so happy sitting inside the riad, taking in its beauty and experiencing the wonder of such a magnificent place.
Riad Bohemian Jungle gets booked up quickly.
If you are looking for TVs or a modern, luxurious style of accommodation you won’t find it here.
This is an eclectic, boho environment that lives up to its name.
Riad Bohemian Jungle is all about experiencing true, authentic riad culture, lost in time with the distant echos of camel traders and a strong spirit of the past.
