Villa des Orangers

A weekend getaway

At the foot of the Koutoubia, halfway between the Royal Palace and Jemaâ El Fna square, the Villa des Orangers is a magnificent 1930s riad offering 27 rooms and suites with the colonial charm of the era. This Relais & Châteaux property enjoys an exceptional location for exploring the medina of Marrakech. A stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Jemaâ El Fna square, the Villa des Orangers is a true oasis centered around a large garden and three verdant patios with fountains, each served by galleries with carved plaster archways. The harmony between the precious woods of the Moroccan-style furniture and the vibrant colours of the decor gives this riad an elegant atmosphere. Upstairs, the suites with private terraces open out onto the medina. The rooftops, arranged with swimming pools, gardens and solariums, look out over the old town and the Koutoubia, and offer breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. Light dining is available for lunch by the pools, on the terraces or in the shade of the patio's orange trees. In the evening, by candlelight, the restaurant offers the chance to savour Mediterranean or Moroccan-inspired dishes.
