What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
an elegant Indo-Moorish villa rises up behind a row of palm trees. Keyhole-shaped doors lead past the coral-hued facade into a labyrinth of terracotta-lined passageways, cozy fireplace-warmed lounges, mosaic-lined dining rooms, and open-air courtyards
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the Haouz plain along Route de Fes, framed by olive groves facing the Atlas Mountains.
The rooms
Bathrooms are lined in green marble with soaking tubs. Carved wooden doors open into bedrooms laid with handcrafted Moroccan rugs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool stretches across the two-hectare grounds, framed by tall palm trees and views of the Atlas Mountains.
The hammam
Heated stone platforms rest under a vaulted brick ceiling, where treatments include essential oil massages and traditional rhassoul scrubs.
At the table
Arched glass doors open from the mosaic-lined dining room onto the garden, where dinners center on classic Moroccan tagines.
