Moroccan Breakfast: A Daily Feast
Every morning, a full Moroccan breakfast is served: msemen (flaky pancakes), baghrir (thousand-hole crêpes), home-made bread, butter, orange jam, honey, olive oil, eggs, freshly squeezed orange juice, mint tea and coffee. It's included with every booking — no supplement.
Dinner at the riad: real Moroccan cuisine
On request (the day before), Chef Naima prepares an authentic Moroccan dinner:
Tagine: chicken with lemon and olives, lamb with prunes, kefta… Friday couscous: seven vegetables, lamb, merguez. Pastilla: flaky chicken-and-almond pastry (to share). Grills: skewers, lamb chops. Dinner is served in the candle-lit patio or on the rooftop terrace with Koutoubia views.
Half board vs all-inclusive: which to choose?
In Marrakech, half board is the best choice. Breakfast and dinner at the riad root you in authentic Moroccan cuisine, while lunch stays free: you explore the restaurants of the medina, the food stalls of Jemaa El-Fna and the cafés of the souks. It's richer and far more flexible than a chain-hotel all-inclusive.
Half board rates
Breakfast: included in the room price (from €70/night). Family half board package: from €260/night for 2 adults + 2 children, from €295/night for 2 adults + 3 children (breakfast, plus dinner by Chef Naima). Contact Éric for a tailored quote: WhatsApp +212 600 608 608.
Family stay on half board
Half board is especially handy with children: they can eat early at the riad while you enjoy an aperitif on the terrace. Chef Naima adapts the dishes to children's tastes.
For accommodation, the riad offers double rooms and communicating family suites for up to 4 guests (Ourika, Oukaimeden, with mezzanine), ideal for a half board stay. While the children enjoy the pool, parents unwind in the hammam and the rooftop jacuzzi. See our family stays.
🏨 Half board in Marrakech: riad vs chain hotel
Most half board hotels in Marrakech are chains or resorts on the outskirts. Riad Vendôme & Spa offers a different option: half board in a charming medina riad, with 100% home-made cuisine prepared each day by Chef Naima.
| Criterion | Chain hotel | Riad Vendôme half board |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Outskirts or Guéliz | Medina — historic heart |
| Half board food | Standardised buffet | Home chef, market produce |
| Atmosphere | Standardised, anonymous | Charming riad, 12 rooms |
| Family half board price | €250–450/night (2A+2C) | From €260/night (2A+2C) |
📍 The advantage of half board in the medina
The historic centre of Marrakech is closed to taxis and cars after 10pm. By choosing a half board hotel in the medina, your dinner is already included — no hunting for a restaurant late at night, no walking dark lanes with children. Chef Naima adapts the menus for allergies, vegetarians and children.
- 🧒 Children's menu always available on request
- 🌿 Vegetarian and gluten-free options possible
- 🍊 Freshly squeezed fruit juice included every morning
- 🫖 Mint tea served in the patio or on the rooftop
🍽️ Dietary requirements: Chef Naima adapts the menu to your dietary needs: gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, allergies. Kosher on request. Tell us at booking — we shop accordingly.
Short break or a week in Marrakech: half board works for both
Short break (weekend, 2 to 4 nights): perfect for discovering Marrakech as a family — Jemaa El-Fna, souks, Koutoubia and the Bahia Palace all walkable from the medina, with dinner already included at the riad each evening. One week (7 nights): time to settle into the rhythm of the medina, alternating pool days, excursions (Ouzoud waterfalls, Agafay) and souk strolls, with no meal logistics. In both cases, the same nightly rates apply (2 adults + 2 children from €260, 2 adults + 3 children from €295, Moroccan breakfast, plus dinner by Chef Naima included) — Éric prepares a personalised quote by length of stay. Free baby cot for direct bookings.

How long is the flight to Marrakech from the US and Canada?
There are no non-stop flights from the United States; from New York allow about 8 to 9 hours via Casablanca on Royal Air Maroc, which hubs there. From Canada, Royal Air Maroc runs a seasonal non-stop from Montreal to Casablanca, then a short connection to Marrakech. The riad is about 20 minutes from Marrakech-Menara airport, and US, Canadian and EU citizens do not need a visa for stays under 90 days.
Where exactly is Riad Vendome located in Marrakech?
Riad Vendome is at 217 Derb El Halfaoui, in the Dar El Bacha district of the Marrakech medina. It is a 7-minute walk from Jemaa El-Fna square, close to the Koutoubia and the souks, so you reach the main sights on foot without needing a taxi. A member of staff meets you at the nearest vehicle drop-off point on arrival.
How do I book, and how quickly do you reply?
You book directly with the riad, not through a platform. Send your dates and group size on WhatsApp at +212 600 608 608 and you receive a written quote within 24 hours. There is no automated booking engine: every stay is confirmed by a person, and the payment terms are set out in the quote you receive.
Can the whole riad be privatised, and for how many guests?
Yes, Riad Vendome can be hired exclusively. The main riad has 12 rooms and goes up to 20 rooms with our second riad 100 metres away, for exclusive hire of up to 45 guests. During an exclusive hire there are no other guests: the pool, hammam, jacuzzi and rooftop are reserved for your group alone.
Do I have one single contact for the rooms, the activities and the transfers?
Yes. Éric, the owner since 2011, is your single contact from the first message to your departure. One WhatsApp number, +212 600 608 608, covers the rooms, the hammam and massage slots, the cooking class with Chef Naima, the airport transfer and the excursions, and you receive a written quote within 24 hours. There is no call centre, no platform in the middle and no reservations department to chase. Transfers and outside activities are coordinated with an approved licensed transport partner, and Éric lines up the timings so the days fit together.
How big are the rooms and what is in them?
Between 10 and 22 m², depending on the room. Tan Tan is 10 m² for 2 guests on the ground floor, the junior suites Merzouga and Asni 15 m², Zagora and Essayesra and Ouarzazate and the Marrakech Romantic suite 18 m², the Dakhla Rooftop room 16 m² with direct terrace access, and the Oukaimeden mezzanine suite 22 m² for 4 guests. Every room has an en-suite bathroom with a tadelakt shower, hot and cold air conditioning, Simmons VIP bedding, a 40" TV with international channels and fibre Wi-Fi. Full sizes, beds and rates are on the rooms and rates page.
Can you cater for vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free or allergy diets?
Yes. Chef Naima adapts the menus and the cooking class to vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free and allergy requirements. The kitchen is halal by default. What we need is the list of constraints in writing when you book, not on the day, because the shopping is done at the market that morning. For a desert night, Éric passes the same list to the camp 48 hours ahead so the meals are adapted there too. Send the details on WhatsApp +212 600 608 608 and they are written into your quote.
Best Value: February and October Half Terms
Riad Vendôme half board is particularly popular during UK school holidays. February half term and October half term offer the best combination: warm weather (18–28°C), no summer crowds, and competitive prices. Easter fills up fast — book early. Summer stays are possible but expect hot afternoons (32–42°C) — plan pool time from noon to 4pm.
