Dar Arbala
This lovely, spacious house is on a private estate in the lush, green Ourika Valley. It is a fabulous property which is uber comfortable. The owners have thought of everything to make a stay here just sublime. From the incredibly luxurious decor of the bedrooms to the little details in the bathrooms, the arched doorways, stone floors and huge pool, nothing has been left to chance. A house with this much thought is a real one-off.

More a boutique hotel than a villa, a family gathering or large group of friends are going to have a holiday they will never forget. The gardens and pool area are large and spacious with surprising little rooms, hammocks & tables with chairs in the shade. The views are glorious reaching to the snow-capped Atlas mountains and beyond.
Each room has been exquisitely filled with stunning pieces of furniture, lots of little Moroccan bits create a whole that is atmospheric and yet comfortable, stylish but practical. Only 25 minutes to the centre of Marrakesh this is a great place to come and spend some much needed rest and recuperation before hitting the souk for that well-intended retail therapy.
“A glorious place to relax and while away the time with my family, just loved the place.”
