Bahia Palace

Welcome to the Bahia Palace, a site whose very name translates from Arabic as The Brilliant One. As you stand here in the heart of the Marrakech Medina, you are stepping into what was once the most magnificent residence in all of Morocco. This sprawling eight-hectare complex was designed to capture the essence of Islamic and Moroccan architectural styles, blending beauty with a sense of secretive intimacy. Unlike the ancient ruins you might find elsewhere, this palace is a relatively recent masterpiece, originating in the mid-nineteenth century. As you begin your journey through its halls, prepare to be surrounded by over one hundred and fifty rooms organized around sun-drenched courtyards and lush riad gardens. Listen closely for the echoes of the powerful viziers who once called these walls home.
