Overview
Nestled amongst 2 acres of greenery with stunning views of the Atlas mountains, Villa Zaria is a truly impressive Moroccan gem. Surrounded by lush landscaped gardens infused with the fragrant scent of citrus fruit trees and the sweet scents of the lovingly manicured rose garden. Villa Zaria’s pink palatial exterior provides the perfect introduction to the beauty that lies within this stunning property.
Inside the villa has been designed with high attention to detail, the spacious interiors are light and bright, comfortably accommodating eight to ten guests (depending if adults only or with kids in tow). On the ground floor there are two stunning reception rooms, both large and airy, one with a gorgeous Moroccan interior and the other with a more European feel. Guests can choose to cook up a storm in the large fully equipped kitchen, or for those wanting to completely relax, the villa's on-site chef can do all the work for you! The spacious, yet cosy lounge makes a relaxing retreat to enjoy after a busy day exploring the bustling souks of Marrakech. This floor also boasts the first of the bedrooms, a double complete with en-suite, dressing room and patio doors leading to the gardens.
The first floor is home to the remaining three bedrooms, each decorated with calming Moroccan accents and all boasting en-suite bathrooms. Two of the three bedrooms offer flexibility with the option to be set up with twin or double beds. Guests are bound to argue over the beautiful third bedroom which boasts its very own dressing room as well as a balcony with outdoor terrace area. The real wow factor can be found on the rooftop terrace, the perfect spot to spend a relaxing evening with your loved ones stargazing in the Moroccan moonlight.
The gardens are just as wonderful, enclosed with high walls covered in bougainvillea and jasmine, they offer guests complete privacy from neighbouring villas. The large outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers, perfect for sun bathing and relaxing in the warm Moroccan sunshine. The shaded terraces that surround the villa provide the perfect sun relief whilst still allowing you to bask in the beauty of your surroundings while enjoying dinner al fresco or watching the sun set with a cocktail or two.
What you should know…
- For an additional local charge, the on-site cook can prepare meals from a pre-prepared menu, or for a small delivery charge, the staff can supply food sourced locally at cost, which the chef can then prepare for no additional cost. Please see the extras tab for details.
- Villa Zaria is located in a exclusive area on the outskirts of Marrakech so a car is needed to fully experience all that this wonderful part of Morocco has to offer. Cherif is available locally to drive you if you prefer not to hire a car and is always on hand to ferry you to Marrakech or other day trips such as the Atlas Mountains.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa ZariaVilla Zaria gives guests the opportunity to immerse yourself in the bursting lively culture of Marrakech and discover your perfect Moroccan adventure.
Marrakech, also fondly referred to as the “Red City” is located in Western Morocco, nestled against neighbouring countries of Algeria and Western Sahara. Set against the Saharan skies of Africa, this beautiful, former imperial city is just bursting at the seams with the rich culture.
Founded only 1000 years ago, Marrakech has evolved into a thriving modern market city with perfectly preserved evidence of its grand medieval heritage around every corner. In this city, there truly is something for everyone offering memorable experiences for every visitor from the hustle and bustle of the many Souks and bubbling, the infectious din of the globally famed local eateries as well as picturesque golf courses, desert getaways and of course the many museums, palaces and religious monuments.
A day in Marrakech could see you enveloped in stylish fashion and lured by colourful homewares in the Souk Cherifa or surrounded by intense hues and textures at the Souk Sebbaghine. After this, you may find yourself in one of Marrakech’s many palaces or gardens, or even at the local Hammam eventually finishing your day with a tagine after watching the blur of people flock to the local Mosque after the bell rings out for the evening prayer.

What a holiday!
A stunning villa of huge proportions set in mature, attractive grounds. Highlights: - The food, the resident chef cooks up a storm (and even went to the Carrefour to pick up the ingredients). - The service, all bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas were cleaned daily and you never noticed it getting done! - The pool, it's heated (properly) and massive. The kids spent at least a couple of hours there daily and it was February. - Day trip to the Atlas Mountains with traditional Berber lunch in a Kasbah (setup by the driver Cherif). - Half day trips in to the Medina and souks of Marrakech, followed by cocktails on the roof terrace back at the villa. - Post dinner drinks by the grand fireplace (that was started up for us every evening) Lowlights: - It rained on one of the days We were two families with kids aged 1-7 but would recommend to anyone. A truly memorable and relaxing holiday!

Marrakesh Dream
Still waking up from my Marrakesh dream! We have had a gorgeous time in Villa Zaria. It was an overwhelming experience! We can recommend this house highly. We will definitely plan another visit. Marrakesh and the house stole my heart. Working on my French, as I promised Aisha and Khadijah. Thanks again, Chris, or being a wonderful help during our stay. And next time we will also make more trip with your super friendly driver Cherif! And already looking forward to enjoy more wonderful food made by Khadijah! Need I say more?? Thanks many times!
