A peaceful and authentic retreat just beyond the Medina

Just ten minutes from the heart of Marrakech, tucked between the red city’s vibrant soul and the quiet majesty of the Atlas Mountains, lies a private estate where Moroccan tradition meets understated elegance. At La Plantation, life moves at a gentler pace — among palm-lined paths, sun-drenched terraces, and the scent of jasmine floating through the air.

With just nine spacious suites, each thoughtfully designed with natural textures, handcrafted details, and calming tones, the villa feels intimate and distinctly personal. Mornings begin with a horseback ride in the private equestrian arena, followed by a generous breakfast served in the open-air dining space, surrounded by gardens in bloom.

For those who love to gather, the villa features multiple dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and the option to enjoy dishes prepared by a private chef. Evenings might mean a Moroccan pottery workshop, a pizza party hosted by one of Marrakech’s top pizzaiolos, or simply a candlelit dinner under the stars.
