The Founder
Founded by Naima Imouyarh
Riad Mayo was born from a vision to share the beauty of the Ourika Valley with the world — on exclusively private terms. Naima Imouyarh grew up in Morocco and spent years dreaming of creating a space where guests could experience the true warmth, generosity, and splendour of Moroccan hospitality.
In 2018, that dream became a reality. What began as a personal project on five hectares of land in the Ourika Valley has grown into one of Morocco's most beloved private retreat properties.
Naima oversees every aspect of Riad Mayo personally — from the design of each bedroom to the welcome her team extends to every arriving group. Her guiding principle has always been simple: treat every guest as though they are arriving at a family home.
