If you are looking for a family friendly, tranquil and rural retreat in Marrakech then Villa Akhdar 5 will almost certainly tick all of your boxes. Located in the domain known as ‘Akhdar’ on the south road of Ouarzazate, Akhdar hosts beautiful villas with amenities, at the feet of the scenic atlas mountains. A privileged position from the city, with a private pool which can be heated in winter. The villa boasts five en-suite bedrooms, sleeping 10 guests.
Villa Akhdar 5 sits within a stunning domain of landscaped gardens brimming with ancient olive trees, Andalusian courts and corridors, palms and colourful bougainvillaea. Great care of the plants has been taken so that every view is framed by interesting, architectural patterns of different heights. The results are tremendous. You will certainly feel that you are away from all the stresses of everyday life and enjoy this alluring, idyllic spot. The domain is dreamy for children, not only for the vast space and the beautiful swimming pools but for the tennis, petanque court, and the playground with swings. They will be in heaven!
The Domain’s SPA is also ideal for a traditional hammam or massages.
Across sunny lawns dotted with local plants and lazy sunbeds, the pool arrangement is fabulous with a 10m x 6m heated pool. In addition to the sun loungers and parasols surrounding the pool, there are gorgeous alfresco living and dining areas surrounding the villa.
You can relax in the soft lounge area or find another nook and cranny for a quiet read. There are plenty all around. Otherwise, you can head up to Villa Akhdar’s light-filled dazzling interior. It has a serene, glamorous vibe of sophisticated cosiness. Fresh, white hues with accents of bright eastern mysticism combine to offer a warm welcoming ambience. The villa is sprawling with a lovely flow from one lounge space to the dinner room. There is some fascinating artwork, and it is clear to see that the unique pieces of furniture have been carefully chosen and placed in just the right position. Large glass doors open to most of the rooms, illuminating them and offering spectacular views of the garden and beyond.
You will have no problem chilling out and relaxing in this fantastic villa. If you need some time alone for a quiet read, you can always find a beautiful spot. It might be a hamac nap or a tucked-away daybed on one of the lawns. It is a truly magical place!
