Villa Dar Abiad is a splendid property nestled in the enchanting Palmeraie of Marrakech, offering a captivating retreat designed by renowned architect Elie Mouyal and adorned by the artistic touch of Jacqueline Foissac. This family home radiates a nostalgic charm, transporting visitors to the Marrakech of the 1970s, a place that once captivated figures like Yves Saint Laurent and Mick Jagger.
Accommodating up to 16 people (12 adults and children), Dar Abiad is an idyllic haven for an unforgettable Moroccan holiday. The villa captivates with its authentic allure, eschewing ostentatious luxury for a promise of tranquility and repose. Crafted using traditional and eco-friendly methods, the villa showcases the meticulous artistry of local craftsmen, with tadelakt technique adorning each room in various colors, contributing to its unique character.
The ground floor hosts an entrance foyer leading to three double bedrooms with private bathrooms and adjoining children's bedrooms. The expansive living room, situated under a dome, seamlessly connects to the dining room for 12 and the modern kitchen. On the first floor, two red and white master suites, each with a private bathroom and terrace, radiate brightness and spaciousness. This level also features a large living room with a fireplace, extending to a panoramic terrace along the entire length of the villa.
In the patio wing, to the right of the entrance, an additional double bedroom, an independent studio with an Andalusian suite and a shower room, can be accessed only from the outside. The villa also offers an air-conditioned indoor play area with a home cinema, gym, and a kids' room.
Set within a lush 3-hectare park adorned with fruit trees, palm trees, cypresses, olive trees, and bougainvillea, the villa boasts a French garden, ponds aligned with the house's axis, an Andalusian garden, and a cactus garden. The 15m x 5.5m swimming pool, heated on request (additional cost), is complemented by a pool house, a traditional brick and tadelakt hammam (available on request with a supplement), a children's play area, and a clay tennis court.
