The imposing neoclassical silhouette of Villa LI12 emerges from the sumptuous greenery of its gardens, planted with palm trees, olive trees, agave and rose bushes. The villa’s stately colonnade looks out over the heated pool, while the demure façade evokes the classic achievements of Islamic architecture. The interior decoration is eclectic, drawing inspiration from the lush interiors of traditional Moroccan homes while also incorporating elements of contemporary design. The library, featuring sofas lined with embroidered cushions, is cast in purple light by a magnificent lampshade crafted from local glass. With its trendy lamps and elegant white furniture, the outdoor lounge, has its own, thoroughly modern charm.

Soak up the sun by the poolside, before heading indoors to the private spa for a moment of pure relaxation. Spend the morning strolling through the Majorelle gardens, just a few minutes’ drive away, before exploring the labyrinthine souk of Marrakech. For a breath of fresh sea air, Essaouira is within easy reach for a day trip.
