Quietly removed from the Medina crowd, this is the kind of place that makes you swoon the minute you swoosh open its mighty front door. Delivering modern-day luxury on another level, the villa's bedrooms are worthy of any five-star hotel suite we know, with sitting areas, walk-in dressing rooms, study spaces and marble-clad en-suite bathrooms aplenty. While lavish details, such as the ornately carved plaster ceilings and zellige tiles, bring the wow factor and remind us this home is firmly planted on North African soil. Outside, the allure of the gleaming pool, beautifully framed by traditionally styled lanterns, never fades. Nestled by vast manicured gardens, you can always find a quiet shady nook to beat the heat. Or retreat upstairs to curl up on the rooftop terrace – its views of Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains are sensational. When the sights and sounds of downtown Marrakech finally lure you, you're just a ten-kilometre drive away from all the action. Dive into the medina's dense maze of ancient souks weaving down to Jemaa el-Fna square and prepare to be dazzled.
