Beautiful Marrakesh: Palais Blanc Riad, Bahia Palace, Jardin Majorelle

Beautiful Marrakesh: Palais Blanc Riad, Bahia Palace, Jardin Majorelle

Last updated on May 4th, 2024 at 01:48 pm

Last month before leading a travel writing retreat in Marrakesh, I took a three-day solo timeout to rest and reset. I arrived in Morocco after long flights and layovers … and a spring semester of teaching, editing, and caring for family. In short … I was spent. Those three days brought me back to life. Take a tour (above) of Palais Blanc Riad, and two nearby attractions, Bahia Palace and Jardin Majorelle and start planning your dream escape. If I can be of help, leave a comment or contact me at cindylmccain1@gmail.com.

Use the photo essay below to see yourself on a dream getaway. Then make it happen. See more on Palais Blanc Riad, and if you choose to book, please do so here.

If you missed the last post where I highlighted Morocco’s UNESCO sites and another luxury stay in Marrakesh, go here.

Note to readers: I only feature accommodations and attractions I’ve experienced myself. As always, the opinions on this blog are my own. I also use affiliate links to offset blog and podcast costs at no expense to the reader/consumer.

You can listen to the podcast versions of what happened in those three days (episode above is here), but I recommend YOUTUBE for what words alone can’t say.

Imagine entering a world without stress.

Suites have traditional Arabic arched doorways at Palais Blanc Riad.

Inside a cloud, you have suite dreams.

My suite at Palais Blanc Riad was peaceful and serene.

Imagine waking up rested.

You can see yourself and the world around you. Clearly.

Imagine a solo getaway.

Renewed mind, body, and soul, you remember who you are and what you want.

At Palais Blanc Riad, you have a respite.

No agenda.

Just time to relax … sleep … swim …

Eat.

Lean into Il bel far niente (Italian for The beauty of doing nothing.) Just … breathe and be.

A room, a terrace, a table with a view gives new perspective.

We vow to dwell in joy and peace. To fulfill old dreams and create new ones. To envision what can be.

We get a glimpse of heaven, and we don’t want to leave.
