Meet Younes who is part of the Dar Kawa team.
You will meet him upon arrival or for breakfast or at night. Sometimes he is also setting up the rooms with Laaziza, perched on a ladder to remove doest on our hanging lights in the patio, bare foot cleaning the rooftop or watering the plants, taking orders for lunch or dinner, give tips about the medina and activities in Marrakech.

Our riad team is like a family, everybody helps each other and everybody has the same goal: make sure that our guests feel at home and live a daydream while staying at Dar Kawa.

Sunday mood with our chef Saïda. Her smile is legendary and we love her.
Saïda became a member of our team 20 years ago and since then she has worked hard to improve her skills, to learn, to innovate, to make us and our guests happy and feel at home day after day.

We believe in empowerment and team building. Sometimes it is difficult because the moroccan culture is different from ours but... With respect and the will to climb a new step whenever it becomes possible... Only the sky is the limit.

Soft winter mood in Dar Kawa. Even if the days are

Soft winter mood in Dar Kawa. Even if the days are sunny, our nights are grey. An ambiance with peaceful and enchanting moments. A smell of jasmine perfumes the place, with sometimes an addition of orange flavors. ” When you come back from a walk in the old medina, to enter Dar Kawa feels like magic.”

It punctuates life, it palpitates. The kitchen is central at Dar Kawa. And the table, symbolises flavours, sharing. It is to be said that Morocco is spoilt. Here fruit and vegetables soaked in the sun are abundant. No need to go and look for them elsewhere…
.
.
On arrival in Dar Kawa, you will discover our seasonal menu. If you wish to have a meal, simply book lunch and /or dinner by informing our staff. It is also possible to book a first meal while booking your room. Contact Eric at info@darkawa.net. We are happy to welcome you at Dar Kawa.

Coffee or tea time on the terrace. Each moment of the day is the right time for a cup of coffee or tea on our rooftop with a view. The light in winter is beautiful. The sky is in an amazing blue. Air begins to be cold. But on the rooftop and in the sun, it is still good to be.

Light at Dar Kawa is very important and interesting to see. Everyday the light crosses the orange trees and transforms the vision of the patio. Like a graphic and wild pattern at the same time. The shadows play with the walls or grey tiles on the floor and create a shadow game.

Graphic mosaics of riad Dar Kawa show well Valérie Barkowski’s aesthetic choices. We enjoy to show a graphic mosaic in order to confront the graphic lines of architecture, furniture and home textile. Dar Kawa interior has a very minimal and timeless atmosphere. You can find all home textiles in the V.Barkowski store in the Medina of Marrakech.

Small details can make a big difference. Those little things that makes your stay so special and different. At Dar Kawa, we take care of the plants and the terrace. Saida, with a her lovely smile preparing the cushions at the salon. Sweetness in the eyes. All those little details that matter. And in Dar Kawa, we love them. Those small details that make a day in Dar Kawa different from other days.

Early December in Marrakech. The riad is slowly getting ready for winter. We like to offer lunch and dinner to our guests in the patio of the riad. Here, we invited nature into the table - play with seasonal and ephemeral aspects. These elements are a perfect match with the V.Barkowski table linen.

During your stay you can order lunch or dinner made by our amazing cook Saïda. And we will dress for you a beautiful lunch or dinning table. Interested? Book your stay with us. Contact Eric at info@darkawa.net

Afternoon tea in Dar Kawa, a greedy tradition that we love here in the riad. Always those littles details that make Dar Kawa different.
