Cala Medina

The two-pearl Riad Cala Medina offers good value for money and a traditional setting toward the edge of Marrakech’s Medina. Intricate woods, patterned tiling, and warm hues here center around a charming courtyard, although maintenance is a little rough around the edges. The six rooms are basic, lacking TVs, fridges, kettles, and safes, but they’re individually outfitted in beautiful Arabian decor, coppers, or Maghrebian detailing. Air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms offer comforts though, and Moroccan meals include free breakfast served on a roof terrace. With a less-neglected look and a prettier plunge pool, the Riad les Jardins Mandaline is a better overall pick.
