5 of our favourite villas close to Marrakech

Enjoy the comfort and privacy of our luxury villas in Marrakech, while being within reach of the exhilarating, seemingly never-ending maze of souks. These five properties offer the best of both worlds; each located in a tranquil oasis of their own, yet all are just a short drive away from the excitement of the city. 

Dar Yasmina

Dar Yasmina is one of our favourite villas in Marrakech, take a look through the gallery and you’ll see why! Sleeping up to ten guests across five fabulous suites, this villa has been thoughtfully furnished and decorated with much attention to detail. 

An elegant sitting room is decorated in warm terracotta hues with a fireplace for those cooler months, while the outdoor living area is spacious and inviting, encompassing a 12m long private pool and a pretty poolside pergola among the beautifully manicured gardens.

Though we think the best seat in the house is up on the villa’s rooftop terrace overlooking the majestic Atlas Mountains.
