AnaYela, Morocco

A place of inspiration. AnaYela is a small, 300-year-old city palace in the heart of the Medina, the historic city of Marrakesh. “Ana Yela” translates literally as “I am Yela” and the architecture tells the story of a girl called Yela who once lived in this riad.

The restoration of the riad was carried out using only traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, for which Marrakesh is famous throughout the world. A renowned calligrapher hammered the story in silver on the vast doors through the house, like pages of a book. Every single piece of furniture, every lamp, all the decorations, are individually handmade by Moroccan artisans. As a result the house as a whole is a spectacular piece of art in itself.
Here all one’s senses are beguiled and inspirational energies and emotions are awoken and set free in this unique atmosphere. #morocco #marrakech #wanderlust #travel #adventure #explore
