Top 5 Luxury Villas in Morocco
Whilst in many ways a holiday in Morocco is very much about leaving the refinements of Europe behind to explore a country full of adventure, there’s no reason you can’t opt for some real luxury when staying in this fascinating country. We’ve rounded up the best villas on offer to visitors, so take a look and get some inspiration.
Villa Damali, Marrakech
From £14,244 per week
Sleeps 12
A stunning colonial residence that was once the country home of a French colonel, think private tennis courts, a stunning pool, huge bedrooms and living spaces thoughtfully decorated in a Moroccan style, and incredible views out to the nearby Atlas mountains from the roof terraces.
Villa Hana, Marrakech
From £7,526 per week
Sleeps 14
Situated just outside the city of Marrakech itself, Villa Hana comes with a full entourage of staff, so you don’t have to think about a thing. Other than whether or not to retract the glass roof above the atrium to open the sky up, when to take a dip in the heated outdoor infinity pool, or whether to take a trip into the stunning Atlas mountains, or visit the famous Ourika valley, with its majestic waterfalls.
Dar Takama, Aglou Plage, Agadir
From £1,833 per week
Sleeps 6
The Atlantic coast of Morocco is a place completely unto its own, where the barren landscape of the pre-desert planes finally hits the ocean. Some fifty miles south of Agadir (the nearest airport and main town), Dar Takama makes the most of its seafront location in a tiny coastal village, offering incredible vistas over the water from the pool terrace, a sumptuous open fireplace in the dining/living area, and great access to local gems like the walled town of Tiznit, a traditional settlement that’s definitely worth a day trip.
Riad Tamara, Essaouira
From £1869 per week
Sleeps 12
For a real flavour of what makes so many people fall in love with Morocco, head to Essaouira, on the Atlantic coast. Rumour has it Jimmy Hendrix got lost here, and the place has always been a magnet for travellers, artists and creatives since. Riad Tamara positions you in the centre of town, overlooking the fortified walls, shoreline and distant island of Mogador. With its traditional internal courtyard, complete with 10m2 plunge pool, beautiful interior detailing and exotic foliage, this is the definition of an urban oasis.
Villa Bedouzza
From £2,447 per week
Sleeps 10 (main house, studio and cottage)
Tucked away close to the fishing village of Oulidia, which in itself is a charming little place packed with character and some some lovely fish restaurants, Villa Bedouzza has everything you need to fully unwind and forget the worries of the world. An uninterrupted panoramic view across the lagoon out to the endless Atlantic from the roof terrace, a private infinity pool, a wood burner in the beautifully designed sitting room, incredibly manicured grounds brimming with fascinating trees, plants and flowers, a BBQ area, a separate children’s pool, maid service and- on request- a chef.
