Imagine a private universe where the grandeur of Alhambra meets the sophistication of a 21st-century retreat. Christie’s Real Estate Morocco presents this extraordinary 3,200 m² Arab-Andalusian palace, a jewel box of wonders set within a botanist's dream—2 hectares of centuries-old olive trees, fragrant citrus orchards, and rare Saharan roses, all just 10 minutes from Marrakech's medina. The property's crowning glory? Uninterrupted views of the High Atlas, their peaks dusted with snow like powdered sugar on a kaab el ghzal.
Architecture as Poetry
The palace's double-height entry courtyard stops visitors in their tracks with its symphony of water: a central fountain carved from Meknes marble, its ripples reflecting the mashrabiya screens above. The six suites—each named after historic Moroccan dynasties—feature canopy beds draped in hand-embroidered fouta silks, bathrooms with hammered silver sinks, and private menzah sitting areas overlooking the gardens. The Saadian Suite's bathroom alone is a work of art—a circular soaking tub carved from a single block of onyx, positioned to frame the Atlas range through arched windows.
Entertaining Like Royalty
For grand receptions, the gold-leafed reception hall accommodates 200 guests beneath a constellation of fanoos lanterns. The professional-grade kitchen (with twin tajine stations and a pastilla preparation area) services both the formal dining room's 18th-century zellij table and the outdoor agdal dining pavilion with its retractable roof. A hidden speakeasy-style bar—accessed through a pivoting bookcase—features a 200-bottle collection of rare Moroccan wines.
Wellness Beyond Compare
The spa complex could rival any five-star riad: a heated noor pool with underwater mood lighting, an ice fountain for post-hammam invigoration, and a Rasul mud therapy chamber. The 120 sqm gym includes a yoga platform suspended over a water feature, while the screening room offers a 180-degree curved screen with Dolby Atmos sound.
Outdoor Enchantment
The grounds unfold like a One Thousand and One Nights fantasy: a scented moon garden of white jasmine for evening strolls, a hidden chess garden with life-sized pieces, and an organic kitchen garden supplying the estate's tables. The showstopper? A cantilevered infinity pool that appears to pour into the horizon, flanked by a 12-seat majlis with a retractable khayma tent.
This palace doesn't just set the standard for luxury living—it rewrites it entirely, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Morocco's soul.
