Villa Amelkis | 6-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Marrakech

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Amelkis to find themselves positioned on the sixth hole of Morocco’s most exclusive golf resort, yet only 15–20 minutes from Marrakech’s crimson medina. This is a luxury villa rental in Marrakech that functions as both sanctuary and launchpad—a place where your group can retreat into five-star comfort or venture into one of North Africa’s most intoxicating cities. Villa Amelkis sleeps 16 guests across 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, making it the rare property that accommodates large families or multi-generational groups without the chaos.

Inside Villa Amelkis

The lower ground floor reveals the property’s most unexpected luxury: a complete spa sanctuary. Here you’ll find a steam room, hammam, sauna, and dedicated massage room alongside a hairdressing and manicure area—amenities normally found only in five-star resorts. An indoor heated swimming pool occupies this level alongside a water bike and a fully equipped fitness facility. The cinema lounge, positioned on the lower ground with plush seating and a full bar, becomes the evening gathering point where the 16 guests can assemble for film screenings or late-night conversation.

Ground floor living transforms around two complementary spaces. The primary living room sprawls across multiple seating arrangements with a bar counter and direct access to the terrace, while a separate formal dining area seats 10–16 people and connects to its own terrace section. A ground floor bedroom suite features a king bed, dressing room, television, terrace access, and a full en-suite with both bath and shower. A second ground floor bedroom offers flexibility—its king bed configures into twin beds, accompanied by dressing room, TV, terrace access, and shower room.

The mezzanine level houses a bedroom designed specifically for children or additional guests, with six single beds and an en-suite shower room. Three first-floor bedrooms follow an identical pattern: each features a king bed, dressing room, television, private terrace access, and en-suite bathrooms with shower facilities. All bedrooms receive underfloor heating and air conditioning, with hairdryers and premium bath products provided throughout.

The professional kitchen serves the on-site chef and staff exclusively—guests do not prepare meals here, though light refreshments like tea, coffee, or sandwiches may be arranged by prior agreement with management. This separation of kitchen function from guest space is characteristic of properties in this category, where culinary service forms part of the experience rather than a guest responsibility.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terraced gardens descend in stages, revealing two swimming pools—an adults’ heated pool and a separate children’s pool. Sun loungers cluster around both pools, while a covered terrace provides shade during the hottest hours of the afternoon. A bar and chill-out zone anchors one section of the garden, while an outdoor dining terrace allows meals under the Moroccan sky with views extending across the golf course toward the snow-capped Atlas Mountains on clear mornings.

Beyond the pools, the grounds accommodate a petanque court and garden furniture arranged throughout the landscaped space. Private parking sits discreetly away from the main entertaining areas, while a golf car provides convenient transport across the extensive property. The views south and east capture the rolling fairways of Amelkis Golf Club and the mountain range beyond—the kind of vista that doesn’t require editing in photographs.

Entertainment options within the gardens include a ping-pong table and table football game, ensuring younger guests (and competitive adults) find constant occupation. The SONOS sound system distributes music throughout interior and exterior zones, while Wi-Fi connection reaches all areas of the villa, allowing guests to work remotely or stream entertainment poolside.

Location: Marrakech and the Surrounding Area

Villa Amelkis commands the most advantageous position within the Amelkis Golf Club, a gated and secured resort 15–20 kilometers from Marrakech’s historic center. This distance proves ideal: far enough from the medina’s intensity to guarantee tranquility, yet close enough for evening explorations without exhausting car journeys.

The Medina itself—a UNESCO World Heritage Site spanning 600 years of continuous habitation—exists 20 kilometers south and contains the Jemaa el-Fnaa, Marrakech’s central plaza where snake charmers, musicians, and food vendors perform daily. The souks radiating outward from this square stock everything from hand-dyed leather babouches to Berber carpets to fresh-pressed argan oil. Rooftop restaurants overlooking the medina offer tagine and couscous with sunset views; Dar Moha (8km away) represents the pinnacle of contemporary Moroccan cuisine within a restored palace setting.

To the south, the Atlas Mountains rise dramatically within 40 kilometers of the villa. The Ourika Valley, accessible as a day excursion, contains Berber villages, terraced farming communities, and multiple waterfalls that flow most vigorously from November through April. Imlil, a trekking hub 60 kilometers south, serves as the gateway to Mount Toubkal (4,167m), North Africa’s highest peak. The village of Oukaimeden, 70 kilometers inland, functions as Morocco’s only ski resort during winter months.

The Jardin Majorelle (8km away) was landscaped and inhabited by the French designer Yves Saint Laurent and now operates as a museum featuring thousands of rare plants and a striking blue riad. Le Jardin Secret (5km away) reveals a restored 16th-century palace garden with traditional water channels and ancient trees. Both gardens offer respite from urban crowding and showcase the historical depth beyond the medina’s more touristed quarters.

Marrakech International Airport (RAK) sits 40 kilometers south and receives direct flights from most major European cities; the transfer to Villa Amelkis requires approximately 50 minutes by car through the palm groves that characterize the approach to the city. The airport’s modern facilities opened in 2008 and handle both scheduled and charter traffic.

Seasonally, November through March offers ideal temperatures (daytime highs 18–25°C) and low rainfall, making this the peak season for both leisure travelers and golfers. Summer months (June–August) see temperatures exceeding 40°C and should be avoided unless the villa’s air conditioning and pools provide sufficient refuge. April, May, September, and October represent shoulder seasons with pleasant weather but fewer crowds at major attractions.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Amelkis addresses a specific and underserved market: groups of 12–16 adults requiring multiple bedrooms without sacrificing quality. Extended families spanning three generations—grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren—find the mezzanine children’s bedroom and ground floor family suite particularly well-suited to their needs. The dedicated spa facilities and cinema allow intergenerational groups to separate comfortably during parts of the day.

Golf parties benefit from the property’s location overlooking the Amelkis course and its capacity to house all players under one roof, eliminating hotel coordination. The villa’s chef service means groups need not sacrifice dining quality when staying at a residential property. Professional couples requiring remote work capability appreciate the Wi-Fi infrastructure, ground floor bedroom with direct terrace access, and the separation of service spaces from guest zones.

Corporate groups seeking incentive travel find the villa’s combination of wellness (spa, hammam, sauna), recreation (two pools, golf access, games), and capacity suitable for team-building retreats without the impersonal scale of hotel conferences. Milestone celebrations—significant birthdays, anniversaries, multi-family reunions—find the dining capacity (16 seated at table) and kitchen support (on-site chef) essential rather than incidental amenities.
