An elegant, historic holiday home that focuses on stylish Moroccan living, the traditional structure is composed of vertical wrap around profile that provides a spacious and intimate environment as well as bright open spaces arranged around an interior courtyard. Updated with a light touch and an eye for detail, the interiors are an inspired synthesis of traditional and contemporary design with earthy materials and a simple but colorful mix of authentic Moroccan and custom designer furnishings, textiles and decor created by a renowned Paris based designer and fashion muse.

The medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the beautiful fishing harbor are great places to explore each with a great selection of restaurants. There are beautiful sandy beaches nearby renown for excellent surfing spots. Don’t miss a camel ride to fort Bordj El Berod and the traditional souks as well as the famous music and cultural festivals.
