Our Rooms

Pre-Christmas Energiser - Yoga @ Riad Maizie

I’m planning a new yoga programme. Its object - to make the second half of life more fun than the first. Make like a classic Marc Jacobs Handbag, and just keep getting better, more supple, glowing with a patina of life and experience.

I’m hoping to expand the idea into a book, and in the interests of research I’m taking a group of my funny and adorable regulars from 2nd to 9th November 2010. I wondered if anyone out there would care to join us. There are just two rooms left.

We’ll do the most effective anti-aging yoga moves twice a day on the roof in the sun, with some Pilates for core strength, a spot of yogic breathing, and a handful of facial exercises to save you the fuss and bother of a face-lift. Plus relaxation. Aaaah.

We’ll brave a visit to a hammam, find a good masseuse to unknot those tense muscles, eat at Aisha’s Number 1 booth in Djemaa el Fna, get a head start with some wild and original Christmas shopping, and enjoy clear, bright sunlight, when the UK has already settled into its cloud-shroud.

I’m charging seven nights for the price of six, and £20 per day for the yoga. Check out Ryanair and Easyjet flights to Marrakech. Have a look and do your sums.

How can you afford not to join us?

The Doueria

From the entrance lobby there are stairs leading up to the air-conditioned Doueria (Pronounced - Do-where-ee-ah) on the first floor.

The hall of this self-contained separate suite has a fountain and mousharabi (turned wood) skylight. The bathroom has an enormous tadelakt bath with shower, basin, bidet and loo. The bedroom has a painted ceiling, four-poster bed and three windows overlooking the courtyard with mousharabi screens. It has its own stairs up to the roof and may well be the most romantic area of the house.
