Luxurious villas with private pools, hammams, and gardens
"A sumptuous resort set across 50 acres of landscaped gardens and oasis-like pools, with 54 villas and nine suites inspired by Berber and Andalusian architecture that offer generous outdoor space, private pools and many marble-clad bathrooms with steam capabilities. Villas range from one to four bedrooms and often include hot tubs and expansive walk-in closets; dining spans Cantonese fare at an upscale Chinese restaurant to Silk Road-inspired dishes, while a spa features a Moroccan hammam and multiple treatment rooms offering everything from Thai massage to aromatherapy scrubs." - Nicola Chilton
"These are some serious digs: a total of 54 deeply private, one- and two-bedroom villas, all with creamy stone floors and carved tadelakt walls framed by stately columns (there are also nine first-floor rooms with fabulous Atlas views). The outdoor showers are enclosed with bamboo, while the courtyards have crackling wood fires and there are marble hammams in the bathrooms. A stroll through the 20 hectares of gardens, perfumed with the scent of 100,000 roses, leads to a spa and hammam of epic proportions, which unfurls in a series of graceful arches like those of the Mezquita in Córdoba. It's the attention to hand-crafted details like these that set the Mandarin apart from the city's more blingy five stars, and there's other carefully curated stuff, too—from making dinner-party dishes with high-flying chefs to touring the organic fruit and vegetable garden. When the heat of the day gets too much, just sneak back to the villa and spend the afternoon snoozing on a king-size daybed by the pool. This is somewhere to waft around indulging in all the extras, from yoga sessions to an in-room supper whipped up by a private chef. —Tara Stevens"
"Book a stay at the Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech for private villas with lush gardens and open-air spa treatments." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This glorious hotel is a true oasis 10 minutes away from the medina of Marrakech. The property is vast, and while most rooms are villa-style with private pools, they don’t hold a candle to the gigantic hotel pool. It’s the jewel of the property flanked by several ponds that make the pool look even bigger and more impressive. —Eugene Shevertalov, associate entertainment director"
"A space at the Mandarin Oriental was transformed to look like a gritty Berlin nightclub for an after-party following the conference."
