A truly unique luxury escape, the Mandarin Oriental, Marrakech is set among 20 hectares of landscaped gardens and a series of serene ponds as a centrepiece, with the snow-capped Atlas Mountains providing a spectacular backdrop. Rustic yet sophisticated, the resorts stunning design was undertaken by the French duo Patrick Gilles and Dorothée Boissier. With its Berber and Arab-Andalusian influences, the feel is of relaxed luxury for the cosmopolitan traveller. Interior and exterior spaces co-exist, and the focus is on essential materials rather than ostentatious affectations, with a particular emphasis placed on light.

The villas architecture recalls that of intimate riads, a type of traditional Moroccan and Andalusi interior garden courtyard, lend a timeless feel, while the suites, with their scenic views of the Atlas Mountains, immerse guests in the heart of the local landscape. Looking out, guests will get lost in the shades of the desert and its rocks by way of the resort’s archetypal motifs.
