The spirit of Riad Lyon Mogador
In the heart of the medina, our riad was designed as an elegant and welcoming family home. It was once the tallest house in the neighborhood. Local lore says that a prosperous 18th-century merchant built it to impress his future wife.
Even today, our travelers can enjoy its superb 360° view of the ocean and the rooftops of the medina.
A recognition that is long-lasting
Being mentioned once is a pleasant surprise. Being mentioned several times is a true recognition.
