The Riad Livia Family
Riad Livia is a small adults-only riad in the medina of Marrakech. We opened our doors in 2023 with five rooms, one rooftop, and a simple idea: keep things small so we can keep them personal.
Being small means we have the time to learn your name, remember how you take your coffee, and look after the little details that most places miss.
Meet the family:
BIANCA - OUR FOUNDER
The riad began as her idea: a small place in Marrakech where every guest is looked after like a friend, not a room number. You will not meet her at the door, as she is based in the Netherlands, but she has put the riad in the hands of a team she trusts completely. Her one wish is simple: that you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The family you meet here makes sure of it, every day.
Mohammed - Our manager
MOHAMMED, our manager, has been with us since Livia first opened its doors in 2023. Born and raised in Zagora, a city in the Sahara desert, hospitality is in his nature. Planning a surprise for your partner's birthday? A proposal under the stars? A journey into the desert with secret stops and a night under an open sky? Just ask Mohammed. Whatever you have in mind, he will find a way to make it happen.
YOUSSEF - our night guardian
Born and raised in the Sahara desert, warmth and hospitality come naturally to him.
While you enjoy your well deserved night's rest, Youssef is here. He serves dinner, opens the door no matter how late you are back from your night out, picks you up from the taxi point, and makes sure every guest is safely inside. In the morning he serves breakfast and if you have an early flight or an early start, Youssef will have a coffee and a little something ready before you even ask. A problem in the middle of the night? He will take care of it.
