About this property
Nestled in the breathtaking Ourika Valley, just thirty minutes from Marrakech, Villa Farouk is a serene six-bedroom retreat designed for those seeking privacy, peace, and a deeper connection with Moroccan culture and landscape. Surrounded by olive groves, cactus gardens and the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains, this eco-conscious villa blends natural materials, contemporary architecture and soulful interiors for a truly unique escape.
The main villa sleeps ten across five elegant bedrooms, while a separate pool house offers an additional suite for up to four guests. Inside, a warm minimalism runs throughout, limewashed walls, artisan lighting and woven textures complement the villa’s earthy palette. The large open-plan living space includes a fireplace, lounge and dining area, and a modern kitchen. There’s also a playroom for children and a wellness suite with a traditional Moroccan hammam.
Step outside to enjoy an 8,000m² garden, complete with an organic kitchen garden, bar, pizza oven, pétanque pitch, and shaded dining terraces. The heated pool overlooks dramatic red earth and Atlas peaks. With a full-time team including a talented lady-chef, this is a home that invites you to slow down, reconnect and savour the simple beauty of Moroccan life.
Villa Farouk is tucked into the red clay folds of the Ourika Valley, an easy thirty-minute drive from Marrakech and close to the foot of the Atlas Mountains. This rural yet accessible location makes it ideal for exploring the contrasting landscapes of southern Morocco, from the palm-fringed oases of the valley to the sand dunes of the Agafay Desert, and the snowy peaks beyond.
Set in a peaceful Douar (traditional village), the villa sits just far enough from the city to enjoy true tranquillity, yet close enough to explore the souks, gardens, and historic medina of Marrakech. Hike mountain trails, visit Berber markets, or take a day trip to desert camps. For those who prefer to stay put, the villa’s own extensive gardens, wellness space and heated pool offer ample ways to relax. It’s an immersive location for those who want to combine adventure with slow, conscious living.
