The other room enjoys a huge open fireplace and yet more modern sofas and chairs. At the far end of the room is the games area with its pool table. Two walls of glass open to the garden and terraces, also drowning it in natural light. The dining room is a lovely space with an intricately carved dresser and stunning garden and pool views.

One ground-floor bedroom offers a beautifully dressed double bed and an ensuite bathroom, all in soft grey and taupe tones. The other is perfect for children or as a family room.

One offers an ensuite, and the second shares a family bathroom with bedroom five, which enjoys a comfy double bed.

A number of the upper rooms enjoy private terraces, and if you are lucky, you will get a bath with a view where you can soak your stresses away!
Outside, you will discover gardens that will capture your heart. The twenty-five-metre swimming pool is surrounded by loungers and the pool house, where you can dine alfresco or enjoy pre-dinner drinks on divine contemporary furniture.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OuahatVilla Ouahat enjoys a peaceful, tranquil location just outside of Marrakech’s Medina. This beautifully landscaped area of the Palmeraie is smart, attractive and sophisticated. It connects Casablanca to Fez. Golf enthusiasts enjoy the Golf de la Palmeraie club, which is moments from the villa. An equestrian centre and camel riding are also nearby. Quad bikes are also popular, and hot air balloon rides with Marrakech Balloon.
Marrakech is a bustling, colourful city that will blow your mind with its heady smells, sounds and sights. In 1985 its Medina was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Full of fragrant, colourful spices, glistening silver lamps with the promise of a genie, vibrant carpets and leather in every shade imaginable, it also offers rich, ancient architecture. Its souks are loud, thrilling and fun. You can learn to barter, and you will discover snake charmers, storytellers and potion sellers. Dining in the Medina is an adventure which will set your tastebuds tingling. Smoke rises from barbecues which are enjoyed along with Gnawa musicians, acrobats and fortune tellers. The famous Patisserie des Princes is perfect for sweet treats and ice cream afterwards. Many of the riads boast exquisite restaurants for fine dining experiences where you will enjoy creative, spice-laced modern Moroccan menus. Many of the restaurants are on rooftops with glorious views of the city and the mountains. Hammams were introduced to the city by the Romans and adapted to fit Islamic ablution rituals. Visitors enjoy wonderful hammam experiences at Hammam de la Rose, the Farnatchi Spa, the deluxe Royal Mansour and many other spas.
Marrakech enjoys many stunning buildings. The Bahia Palace was built in the late 19th century and now forms the centre of the city’s culture. It boasts incredible decor along with high, gilded ceilings, mosaics, stuccos, paintings, the mesmerising quarters of Bou Ahmed’s favourite concubine, Lalla Zineb and an enormous landscaped garden.
Marrakech enjoys an excellent collection of museums, including Maison de la Photographie, a three-storey riad-turned-gallery housing the vintage Moroccan photography collection of Patrick Menac’h and Marrakshi Hamid Mergani. Its rooftop cafe is one of the highest in Medina. The Musee Tiskiwin displays the history of Marrakech and the region in general. The Dar Si Said Museum is an exhibition of historic and contemporary Moroccan art, full of intricate Byzantine designs and colours. The Music Museum is located in the Saadian quarter, built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The reception of the museum is a jewel of Arab-Andalusian architecture.
The area around Marrakech’s Medina is sprinkled with magical gardens. Le Jardin Secret is one of Medina’s largest and most important gardens, with a Persian garden full of tufty grasses and olive, pomegranate, fig and date trees and a second smaller garden offering exotic plants. An elaborate irrigation system weaves its way through the gardens, part of an ancient network that once distributed water from artesian wells and fed by the mountains. When fashion icon Yves St Laurent arrived in the city in 1964, he was overwhelmed by the city and its vivacity. He lived in the Jardin Majorelle with his partner, a lush garden painted with an intense shade of ultramarine blue. It is full of giant cacti, palms and bamboo groves. The Berber Museum is filled with Yves St Laurent’s personal jewellery and fashion collection, and the Musee Yves St Laurent offers a stunning choreography presentation of the clothes in a dramatic black hall.
Visitors to Marrakech usually enjoy combining trips to the Medina with excursions into the mountains and its mountain villages. It is the perfect contrast to the thrillingly frantic energy of the Medina and the buzz of its museums, palaces and gardens. After a delicious Moroccan feast around Djemaa El Fna, you can trek up Northern Africa’s highest peak, Mount Toubkal or enjoy a surprising experience of North African skiing at Oukaimeden. The Atlas Mountains are sprinkled with pretty villages, beautiful waterfalls and dramatic viewpoints. Imlil is a popular hub to start exploring, and the Bureau des Guides d’Imlil can arrange guides. You will enjoy unforgettable day trips, visit traditional villages, taste delicious food, and enjoy the fabulous scenery and a mesmerising mix of Berber, Arabian and European cultural influences. You will also discover some of the best golf courses in Marrakech, including the Amelkis Championship Golf Course and the Marrakech Royal Golf Club.

Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Ouahat is very popular with families. The villa is very spacious and offers two living areas, a games area with a pool table, a fabulous swimming pool and pool house, stunning gardens, a trampoline, a boules strip and an incredible amount of space for family games.
The Palmeraie is a great area just outside Marrakech’s city centre. There are lots to do, including camel rides, quad biking and hot air ballooning. Marrakech promises an endless list of entertainment and fascinating delights around every corner. There are cooking classes, mule rides, shopping and bartering opportunities and entertainers to gaze at in awe. Marrakech offers many delightful gardens, including Harti Jardin and Cyper Park, which are great for good walks. There are two small amusement parks for younger children, Ludipark and Paloozaland. Ludipark offers bouncy castles, pony rides, a mini zoo and an aquapark. Paloozaland offers a dinosaur theme and enjoys several rides, a 6D cinema, a swimming pool and live shows. There are always camels near the Menara Gardens which kids can ride. If you want more of a desert camel ride, you can take a taxi or arrange a ride through your riad to the Palmeraie. Another popular trip is to the Moulay Hassan racetrack on the edge of Marrakech for some kart racing. Moroccans make tea very well, so you can arrange a wonderful afternoon tea at the Royal Mansour. Kids also enjoy getting a henna tattoo or seeing a Fantasia Show. Chez Ali is a show that has been going for years and includes dinner as well as performances with horse riders and music. You will see horse carriages everywhere though you might want to check if the horses look well cared for.
The thrilling Oasiria Waterpark, on the outskirts of Marrakech, offers eight swimming pools, twenty fabulous attractions and seventeen slides. One of the attractions, Aquaroc, is the first climbing wall in Africa. It is 25m long by 5m high and offers three courses, initiation, improvement and training. The waterpark sits in ten hectares of landscaped gardens sprinkled with ponds, paths, flowerbeds, century-old olive trees, desert crossings, palms, wooden pontoons, streams and colourful flowers, and there are five restaurants. There is even a kids club for six to nine-year-olds and nine to twelve-year-olds with meals and snacks included. These are run by experienced leads which offer supervised swimming, treasure hunts, fairs, toboggan competitions, climbing on the Aquaroc, beach soccer, water games, tug of war, football and more. The wonderful Eden Aquapark is another popular family pick. It boasts endless rides, slides, swimming pools, a river, a beach for little pirates, entertainment and a luxurious hotel attached to it. It is a giant aquapark that offers a world of water entertainment.
Terres d’Amanar is a zipline park roughly forty-five minutes outside of Marrakech. There are activities for all ages, with a pool and lunch included. Children love heading for the Atlas Mountains and enjoying stops at the village of Imlil, where they can enjoy mule rides and see the waterfalls. The Ourika Valley is another fabulous trip where kids can play in the shallow Ouritka River and hike to the waterfalls.
The Anima Gardens are delightful, with lots of sculptures as well as natural fauna. You can buy a timed ticket which helps to ensure that the gardens are not too crowded. There are shuttles to and from the city.

Fantastic villa
Fantastic villa for a large family gathering (we were 10 adults and 4 children). The pool is huge and the grounds delightful with a variety of outdoor games- table tennis, petanque, cornhole.
The staff were friendly and accommodating, and provided great food and wine for us throughout our stay. -
What a beautiful place
Absolutely everything. What a beautiful place, amazing staff with complete flexibility to meet the needs of the guests. Very, very special holiday on so many levels. Flexibility to allow a beautician to come to the villa, and a BBQ and entertainment including a magician and fire display on the last evening. Coudln't have asked for more.

We just LOVED our stay
We just LOVED our stay at Villa Ouahat - everything about it could not have been more perfect for our family. I have rented houses many times before all over and I cannot fault Villa Ouahat. Abdul could not have been more helpful, the cook and cleaner were unobtrusive and excellent. We were a large party and the villa was kept clean and tidy. I am only sad that we were unable to stay the full week - Covid messed us all around. The gardens, swimming pool and amenities were excellent. I am sure that we will come again one of these days and I will certainly recommend the villa to all. We met Mathilde and she was very helpful with suggestions as to what to do. Thank you.
