Villa Azzaytouna

Set in 5,000 square metres of gardens filled with olive trees, lavender, orange blossom and bougainvillea, Villa Azzaytouna is a private luxury retreat, which can sleep up to six guests. The interiors have been designed by Philip Hooper from Sibyl Colefax and John Fowler. They have a contemporary Moroccan feel and the house features many souk finds including Berber benches, wooden carved doors, antique pots and Beni Ourain rugs.

The swimming pool at Azzaytouna is a 12.8 metre pool with sun loungers and Indian daybeds. A large sunken berber tent is set up in the garden and is a wonderful spot for evening drinks. There is a dining terrace overlooking the pool as well as an interior sitting/dining room with open fire and a beautiful domed ceiling with Moroccan bauble lights.

Azzaytouna has three double ensuite bedrooms with king size beds, private terraces and open fires. Two of the rooms have private plunge pools, which are lit at night and large daybeds on the terrace.

The villa comes with a hammam, treatment rooms and unlimited spa treatments as well as many other touches to make your stay unforgettable.

The house is fully staffed, including a private chauffeur for trips within Marrakech. The estate manager Maria will assist you with all your requirements. You will be able to choose your dishes from a wide choice of menus. The house cook prepares a daily menu featuring Moroccan and European dishes made with a selection of fresh and locally grown seasonal produce. Comforting classics are available for younger guests.
