Riads in Penang

Mood lighting, design accents, and perfectly coordinated colours—for you, it’s all about atmosphere, and that includes on holiday. In fact, you especially want the perfect atmosphere on holiday. And if there’s one place that has incredible vibes in spades, it’s the mysterious land of Morocco. The bustling marketplace, ornate mosques, and exotic gardens…how can you top that? Well, you can make sure you book a stay in one of the incredible riad hotels in Penang, for starters.

It’s more than just amazing ambiance. You’ll be transported to an entirely new world when you walk through the ornate doors of your riad accommodation. With hand-painted murals, antique sculptures, and plenty of mood lighting to suit your refined aesthetic, Penang luxury riads will make you feel like a king or queen. This makes sense: Riads were traditionally the city homes of the rich and famous (well, as famous as you could get back when there were job titles like “merchant” and “lady-in-waiting”). But the real magic happens in the courtyard. Whether it’s a lush garden, a lavish patio, or a marvellous modern design, the courtyard is the centrepiece of life in Morocco and of any authentic riad. And speaking of ladies in waiting, the attention you’ll receive will be so on point, you’ll feel like you have one.

We know you’re feeling pretty excited by now (and just wait until you try the Moroccan spiced coffee), but try to calm down enough to focus on this screen. Then search through Wotif’s awesome deals on Penang riad accommodation and plan your holiday. OK, now you can get psyched.
