It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the sheer number of riads offering you a place to stay while in Marrakech, so hopefully this recommendation will make it easier for you! Riad Edward is a stunning ten-room riad. Located within the medina, it’s suitably removed from the hustle and bustle, meaning it’s quiet but also pretty difficult to find your way back to through the maze-like streets of the medina!
After entering through a low wooden door, the central atrium is quite breathtaking – sunlight streams down, sparkling off a huge hanging lantern, as guests sip traditional Moroccan mint tea in low-slung chairs and loungers around the turquoise pool.
Rooms are traditionally but luxuriously decorated, and are simple while still covering your every need. Air conditioning, a hammam-like bathroom with a marble topped bath and gilded sink, and breakfast served just outside your door by the pool – Riad Edward is a welcome oasis of calm from the madness of the medina!
Staff speak good English and are eager to help, organising airport transfers, map routes and offering to come and find you should you get lost, unable to distinguish one dusty street from another!
Available to book through Airbnb for around £54 per night.

Absolutely fascinating visit to Highgate Cemetery yesterday - really really recommend taking a guided tour of the West Cemetery to discover all the crypts, catacombs, beautiful headstones and history. So atmospheric (& the ultimate antidote to the Valentine's madness of this week!). Max. drama as we discovered the desecration of Karl Marx's grave first thing in the morning too!
Miles away but still my rock ⛰️ Happy V Day @johzeeck !
The brunch queues for this place get out of control! For good reason Arrive early, it's worth it: @woodenspoonsf #HYHOIinSanFrancisco
Every @airbnb should come with its own curated cactus garden @thejoshuatreehomestead
I don't even ask him to pose, it just seems to come naturally to him - and he's so annoyingly photogenic every time too lol @johzeeck This place though: @worldfamouscrochetmuseum in Joshua Tree!
We raced through the park to make it to Hidden Valley for sunset. Just in time, it was amazing to see the rocks change colour as the sun dipped lower. We didn't see another soul as we hiked the trail loop - though the Jurassic Park scenery made it feel like a dinosaur might appear at any moment!
@lacopinekitchen is somewhat elusive, only opening between 2pm and 7pm (!?), but it's well worth the effort - particularly for that flourless espresso chocolate cake We popped in after a morning spent hiking in @joshuatreenps , before rushing back to Hidden Valley for sunset
