Set atop a hill overlooking the desert and the Atlantic in the distance, this luxury villa in Morocco is a sublime contemporary version of traditional North African homes.
Employing spare sculptural lines with earthy materials in harmonious connection with the desert environment, the villa was designed by Marrakech based Studio KO in a mix of style that honors it’s cultural roots while infusing it with modern refinement.
The luminous living spaces are organized around the pool and central courtyard and feature an open-plan kitchen and dining space, a lounge with a fireplace and three double bedrooms (there’s a fourth double bedroom in the guest cottage).
Designer Willem Smit infuses the spaces with a chic and understated mix of vintage pieces, colorful textiles and tiles and authentic Moroccan flavor.
Surrounded by over three acres of olive groves and undulating countryside, the property is a private and serene escape and the ideal place to relax and recharge.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Daily breakfast included, full time housekeeper and groundskeeper with optional meal services available. Wifi throughout, kitchen and bath amenities.
AROUND
Essaouira is an enchanting port city on the southern coast of Morocco caught in a tempestuous love affair with the Alizé trade winds. Known historically as the Port of Timbuktu, this blustery city of screaming seagulls, European-style forts, and colorful fishing boats feels intriguing and romantic. Its spice-infused 18th century medina has a lovely creative vibe, and its seaside is dotted with windsurfers. Don’t miss the fish market with chatty fishmongers eager to prepare you a feast of their daily catch.
