it’s now a small and luxurious five-room hotel with a memorable contemporary-classic aesthetic and a wealth of authentic North African character.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The marina lies just below the cliffs, with the whitewashed alleys of Sidi Bou Said winding uphill behind the gates.
The rooms
Bedrooms are named after Sinaoui family members, pairing RKF linens with floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight out over the water.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The cliffside infinity pool stretches along the villa terrace, with submerged steps facing directly toward the open sea.
At the table
Breakfast is served at a long mahogany table overlooking the sea, with artisanal infused olive oils and b'sissa.
How it began
Saad Eddine Sinaoui built the villa stone by stone over seven years, shaping the structure to resemble an anchored ship.
