Location
About the surrounding area of Villa Amandier65km from Marrakech lies the beautiful National Park of Ouirgane, with its stunning scenery comprising of lush green pine forests and red-earth hills. A peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech, Ouirgane offers you a fantastic base from which to explore the surrounding foothills, by hiking, mountain biking or even horse riding. L’Amandier is a small development of private villas and a boutique hotel, nestled within this beautiful park, with spectacular views of the mountains beyond.
Guests at L’Amandier have access to the restaurant and bar within the development, and also the use of the hotel’s spa, hammam and yoga platform for optimum relaxation. There are also some fantastic hotels nearby you can visit, including Sir Richard Branson’s Tamadot just 20 minutes drive away, with multiple pools, a spa, delicious restaurant and even a zoo! The local villages of Ouirgane and Marigha offer a small selection of shops to stock up on essentials, and the town of Asno 20 minutes drive away has a great weekly food market.
For days trips further afield; zip lining, golf and quad biking are all within easy reach of L’Amandier. The picturesque village of Tahanaout 40km away is also a great option for a cultural experience. Set against the wonderful backdrop of the Atlas Mountains, its beautiful red clay architecture is beautifully enveloped by a mass of olive groves, orange and lemon trees. The Berber people open their homes to tourists so taking part in pottery or cooking workshops is a must-do. They also have some fantastic markets to try your hand at bargaining.
And finally you’ll want to visit Morocco’s most memorable experience, Marrakesh. Known as the red city due to the hue of the 19km wall around its seething array of souks, this magnificent place was built 1000 years ago yet only gained tourist popularity since the 60’s. In a whirlwind of the senses, you’ll be greeted by snake charmers and fire eaters and get lost amongst the array of stalls selling everything from colourful spices to luxury leather goods. Or simply sit back with a traditional mint tea and watch the world go by.

A very special place!
We had an amazing time at Villa Amandier, a really lovely 6 days for our family. It’s a beautifully designed house - we loved the scale of the hallway and dining/living room, the size of the bedrooms and the intimate courtyard. Each night we all lay on the roof spotting shooting stars. The garden is a delight especially first thing in the morning with all the birds congregating. And there was everything we needed facilities wise. It’s a very special place, we didn’t want to leave. But now we’re in Marrakech for 4 nights so a different adventure. Feeling very lucky.
