Mandarin Pool Villa

Distinctly expansive at a remarkable 502 sqm (including outdoor space), yet still beautifully intimate, Mandarin Pool Villas offer a majestic, contemporary take on a traditional riad. Enclosed by high walls and entered via a walled courtyard, they form a true haven of seclusion and are conceived as a succession of intimate living spaces which allow guests to spend the entire day there.

Their extensive courtyard welcomes guests with warm azure water in the large private pool and hot tub, while multiple sitting and dining areas, a curtained alcove and a fireplace all add to the relaxing allure. Whether dining, relaxing, working or resting, a sense of absolute freedom is guaranteed.

The sumptuous master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and dressing area adjoins a separate living room, while its stunning bathroom offers a deep soaking Jacuzzi, rainforest shower and Diptyque amenities.

Interiors by Gilles & Boissier blend desert shades with the whites of bougainvillea and roses, while Berber and Arab-Andalucian decorative elements combine to sublime effect throughout. Hand-carved motifs in sculpted Moroccan tadelakt plasterwork and hand-chiselled Zellige tiles bring profound cultural resonance. Exquisite marble inlays, woven Berber rugs, sculpted wood and remarkable brickwork are all painstakingly crafted by local artisans.

Round-the-clock butler service and a kitchenette ensure tailored dining and effortless entertaining, nowhere more so than al fresco on the shaded or sun-kissed terraces. With total versatility, one of Morocco’s most generously sized one-bedroom retreats creates the perfect escape for couples or families.
