- Style
- Palatial comfort
- Setting
- Calm in Palmeraie gardens
This retreat in four-hectare grounds in the Atlas Mountains was purpose-built three years ago with perfect attention to detail. The hand-carved silver door keys (intricate, weighty and satisfying to use), the own-blend toiletries in glass and silver bottles, the scented candles with hand-inked labels… The styling is the opposite of souk-fabulous, though still recognisably Moroccan.
