For the ultimate in escapism this luxury villa is privately owned and fully staffed, located in the tranquil Palmeraie area, a short drive from the centre of Marrakech. Perfect for a large family group or party of friends.
This is definitely one of our favourite villas in Marrakech, for lots of reasons, not least the stunning azur blue pool and the friendly staff. The main house has five lovely bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms and balconies overlooking the gardens. The Pavillion (pictured above) has two suites comprising bedroom, bathroom and sitting room, with an outdoor sitting room between the suites for evening dining or daytime relaxation. Each house has its own swimming pool and private garden and there is a tennis court next door that you are welcome to use. The villa is perfect for a large family group or party of friends.
Both houses are surrounded by luxuriant gardens of olive trees, bougainvillea, rosemary, lavender and jasmine, where beautiful meals are served at tables covered in white roses prepared exclusively for you by the resident chef. Cooking is a fusion of Moroccan and European cuisine and can be tailored to your needs, using home grown and organic produce from the gardens whenever possible. Evening drinks can be served on the roof of the house from where the distant Atlas mountains can be seen or in the scented garden at dusk surrounded by candles.
There's plenty to do when you've had enough of lounging by the pool. We can take you on guided hikes or mountain biking trips in the mountains, or arrange for a yoga teacher, personal trainer or massage therapist to visit you at the villa. Of course, it would be a shame to miss out on a visit to the ancient Medina, and our expert guides can show you around and explain the history of the city.
Being only a short flight away, Marrakech even works for a weekend break. One thing's for sure, however long you are able to spend here, you'll discover a vibrant, exotic and friendly culture.
If you need a larger or smaller villa in Marrakech, we have plenty to choose from. We've visited them all, so know them well. Please just let us know what you're after.
