Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes arrives in Africa
Designed by Studio KO, Villa D is a contemporary Moroccan haven set just outside the vibrant city of Marrakech and is the latest property to be added to Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes, a branded collection of the world’s finest private homes…
Guests can spend tranquil days beside the 25-metre pool, in the shade of the garden lounge, or in the traditional beldi-inspired farmhouse patio. A traditional hammam is nestled in the heart of the garden and a state-of-the-art spa is dedicated to relaxation and wellbeing.
Inside, textural architecture is ever present, with an uncomplicated yet elegant design which seamlessly complements the rustic structures. Two spacious living rooms feature open fireplaces and a spectacular dining room is perfect for cooler evenings. The sumptuous, 100-square-metre master suite boasts a private terrace, statement fireplace and freestanding bathtub. Two smaller independent suites enjoy a shared terrace and en-suites with both indoor and outdoor showers.
Four additional bedrooms are found within the main villa, each with a private patio and sharing an impressive shower room. Crafted by skilled local artisans and nestled amidst quaint paddocks, the separate farmhouse accommodates the three remaining bedrooms.
As with all Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes, Villa D includes an on-hand dedicated concierge to assist with pre-arrival requests, local experiences and transportation, along with a Villa Manager to ensure a seamless stay. Daily housekeeping service inspired by Mandarin Oriental’s exacting standards and 50 hours of private chef service per week are also included and approved by Mandarin Oriental’s culinary experts.
With Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains and the desert within close proximity to the villa, a wide range of activities can be arranged for guests from yoga and meditation and in villa spa treatments, to hot air balloon flights, desert excursions and stargazing, or a cooking class with home-grown produce. A short 20-minutes’ drive away is Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech – set among 20 hectares of landscaped, fragrant gardens and with renowned dining outlets Ling Ling by Hakkasan and Shirvan.
Following Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes’ successful debut in 2022, the Group is now delighted to introduce an expanded collection of properties perfect for summer 2023. Along with Villa D, new homes include an exquisitely restored masseria’s in Puglia, flawless contemporary villas with panoramic views from Super Cannes to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a stunning property nestled in the hills of Marbella and an exotic Balinese estate perched high on a cliffside in Uluwatu.
