“Riad Sapphire & Spa impressed me with its blend of traditional Moroccan design and modern comfort, especially the private spa treatments. I believe the personalized service and the team's extensive hospitality experience truly set this riad apart. Its location within the Medina offers a tranquil escape while remaining close to major cultural destinations; the rooftop terrace undoubtedly adds to the allure.”
