CONTEMPORARY AUSTRALIAN DESIGN FUSED WITH CLASSIC MOROCCAN INFLUENCES
Built around a central courtyard, with a decades-old orange tree at its heart, Riad Botanica strives to be a serene space for those looking to escape the hectic pace of modern life. Originally owned by aristocrats, the building has since been passed through a generation of Moroccan families, and is today a welcoming guesthouse with a gorgeous pool and rooftop terrace.
Step inside the hotel, and you’ll be met with contemporary Australian design fused with classic Moroccan influences, with the exceptional craftsmanship of local artisans showcased throughout.

We’ve travelled with The Ultimate Travel Company many times. Their care and attention to detail are second to none. We always feel well looked after and completely confident in their hands.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
We’ve been using Ultimate Travel for many years and have always experienced first-class, friendly, and professional service. Catherine has been our go-to person in recent years, and her exceptional support has made every trip trouble-free. Our holidays with AmaWaterways have been seamless, and we’re truly grateful to Catherine for making it all possible.
