Alys Riad
LOCATION
Alys Beach, Florida
Built in the style of a traditional Moroccan riad, this beachfront retreat begins with a private courtyard and pool, where a gentle waterfall sets a tranquil tone. An intimate passageway leads inside, where white plaster covers nearly every surface, creating a cool, sun-washed calm. Many furnishings and accessories were sourced directly from Morocco, lending an authentic sense of place.
In the dining room, a custom chandelier scatters star-like patterns, while a plaster octopus fireplace in the primary suite is as striking as the underwater seascape mural in the bath. Moroccan tile throughout offers the purest, most evocative nod to the home’s roots.
