Welcome to Riad Alkemia, an architectural gem hidden in a quiet corner of Marrakech’s vibrant medina. Once you cross the threshold, you’ll find yourself before a blank canvas ready to bring your creative vision to life.
Riad Alkemia was designed to capture the eye and ignite imagination. Just one minute from the bustling souk, yet wrapped in enchanted silence, this exclusive refuge offers the perfect fusion of authenticity and refinement for your next photo shoot, advertising campaign, or music video.
Let yourself be carried away by the magic of morning light filtering through traditional wrought iron windows, creating a hypnotic dance of shadows on white walls. The interplay of natural textures offers endless possibilities for your lens: from intricate geometric patterns of carpets to rough wooden doors worn by time. Every space within the riad has been meticulously curated to offer distinctive atmospheres and settings: from the living room with fireplace for more intimate sets, to the hammam, whose soft lighting particularly lends itself to evocative shoots.
The scene is dominated by a patio of about 30 square meters with stone flooring, and the central pool, which has been the set for various photo campaigns and the music video “Adrenalina.” The pool, lined with geometric zellige in aquamarine glazed terracotta, makes the environment perfect for fashion editorials, adding an extra glamorous dimension to your shots. You can seek special effects among crystalline reflections, a mix of floating petals, the subtle interplay between water and light that adds depth to your compositions. Natural light filtering through traditional windows creates lighting effects that photographers love.
Another crown jewel is a beautiful Mediterranean-Moorish style terrace, with spaces organized into different functional zones creating a welcoming and versatile environment. Immaculate white walls alternate with Moorish arches, an evocative natural wood ceiling with exposed beams in the covered area, soft sofas with white cushions, and a black and white checkered floor that visually unifies all spaces.
Throughout the riad, there are natural decorations and details that create a dreamlike atmosphere: lush vegetation, openwork metal lanterns, traditional carpets in both subtle and vibrant colors. In short, there’s truly everything you need for an engaging shoot, and every space is ready to be transformed according to your creative vision.
At Riad Alkemia, exclusivity isn’t just a promise: it’s a guarantee. We have seven rooms, each with its own bathroom (except one that shares with the adjacent room), and we can comfortably accommodate up to 15 people from your team. The beautiful thing is that the entire riad will transform into your private studio.
We can arrange airport transfers (15 minutes) and have parking 200 meters from the riad. Our staff speaks English and French, and some Italian.
From the most exclusive fashion shoots to trendsetting music videos, from luxury advertising campaigns to sophisticated artistic shots: Riad Alkemia is where your most ambitious ideas come to life, and every project benefits from the unique magic that only Morocco can offer.
