Villa Ziram Morocco

Villa Ziram enjoys sweeping views over the championship Al Maaden golf course, yet it is only a fifteen minute drive from the centre of Marrakech. This very stylish villa with four private pool offers superior accommodation for up to eight guests.
This sophisticated villa has an extremely privileged position on the very edge of the fabulous championship course designed by Kyle Phillips, he has married Moroccan influence and terrain with that of the links course he designed at Kingsbarns in Scotland which propelled him onto the world stage.   
You enter the villa into a massive open plan living space with three very separate functions, in the centre is the ultra sophisticated main lounge adorned with African art pieces, plush carpets and  sumptuous sofas set around room length glass doors overlooking the outside terrace,  swimming pool and the golf course, to the left is the formal indoor dining area designed so that everyone at the table can enjoy views to the garden, and to the right a snug with less formal seating around a real fire for these evenings when you just want to curl up and watch tv.  Here on the ground floor, you also have the fully fitted kitchen and the first of the king size bedrooms, this one having direct access to the garden.  These are amazingly large, almost suite size with rich Moroccan influences to be seen in the decoration of the bathrooms, crisp linen and soft furnishings, the upstairs rooms have access to their own private terrace and astounding views over the golf course.
The covered terrace furnishings are just as elegant as those inside, the natural coloured sofas with turquoise scatter cushions pick up the colour radiating from the heated swimming pool below.  You are almost guaranteed a stunning sunset from here every evening of the year, with nothing getting in the way of the 360° view of the golf course could you ask for a more perfect setting?
The large poolside terrace with outdoor dining facilities is also furnished with fantastic rocking loungers on which to dry off after a swim or just to lie back and enjoy the perfectly manicured lawns read a book and relax.From this very privileged position on the very edge of the fabulous Al Maaden championship course golf is clearly going to feature in your holiday.  There are at least ten courses in and around the city their design accredited to some of the sport’s most famous names, Jack Nicklaus, Colin Montgomerie, and Niall Cameron whose Assoufid Golf Club has been voted the best course in Africa. Should you wonder about the 12 large sculptures to be found on and around the Al Maaden golf course these are part of the Sculpture Park.  By associating art with a golf resort, the Al Maaden sculpture park enhances an already exceptional site with an ambitious artistic project.
Taking some time away from the golf course a few short trips into Marrakech itself are a must.  
Sightseeing in Marrakech is best done on foot. The historical sights, including the Saadian Tombs, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the El Badi Palace can be done in one morning.   The Koutoubia Mosque dominates the Marrakech skyline, with the distinctive three golden balls atop the minaret. The story goes that the wife of Youcoub El Mansour ate three grapes one day during the fast of Ramadan. In penance she melted down all her jewellery and moulded them into these three balls.
Djemaa El Fna has provided a focal point in the city since its founding in the 11th century. Flanked by the Djemaa El Fna souk and overlooked by the Koutoubia Mosque, the largest in Marrakech at 77 m (253 ft) high, the square was once a place where public hangings took place.  The Djemaa El Fna is part market, part travelling fair, a dazzling array of entertainers congregate here every day, jugglers, mime-artists, musicians, fortune-tellers, snake charmers and boxers all ply their trade whilst vendors supply the crowd with freshly squeezed orange juice and all sorts of food. The best time to be here is dusk. The hypnotic beat of the Gnaoua drummers induces an almost trance-like state, as you wander round the crowds grow bigger and bigger. Wandering through the food stalls, boiled sheep heads loom out of steamy clouds, backlit by roaring braziers. To really appreciate the spectacle, take a seat on one of the rooftop terraces of surrounding cafés to watch the circles of people form and dissolve in response to the performances around them.
One of the nicest things about the Djemaa El Fna is the lack of tourist intrusion, the vast majority of the goings-on are for Moroccans, not visitors, and all the performances, recitals, plays and transactions are conducted in Moroccan Arabic.
