Terracotta garden estate
Low-slung terracotta pavilions sit across two hectares of palms, where nesting storks replace the noise of the medina.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tucked into La Palmeraie, fifteen minutes from the medina, Domaine des Remparts occupies two hectares of gardens where storks nest in the palms and the city's noise feels naturally distant.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
La Palmeraie surrounds the grounds with quiet palm groves, twenty minutes from the medina and facing the High Atlas.
The rooms
Prestige Suites open into private walled gardens with indoor fireplaces and their own eight-meter heated pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool stretches across the gardens, lined with olive trees and shaded wooden loungers.
The hammam
A sunken bath and heated stone benches fill the marble hammam, where therapists perform traditional black soap scrubs.
Hotel Bar
Bartenders mix craft cocktails behind a green fluted counter, lit by woven pendant lamps in the lounge.
At the table
Poolside Baba serves Mediterranean lunches under the palms, and Assala brings Moroccan dishes to the covered colonnade terrace.
How it began
Abdallah Slaoui built the estate in 2011 on open Palmeraie land. His wife Jalila later redesigned the interiors.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
