Domaine Driss

Set amid the peaceful countryside of Bouzama, Domaine Driss is an elegant retreat made up of two villas that together offer ten beautifully styled bedrooms, two heated pools, and lush gardens designed for effortless, unhurried living. The architecture blends modern minimalism with Moroccan tradition, where smooth tadelakt walls, carved woodwork, and earthy bajmat tiles create a sense of warmth and timeless sophistication. Inside, sunlight spills across the patterned floors, illuminating spacious lounges with fireplaces and wide glass doors that open to tranquil courtyards and the surrounding greenery. The long dining tables invite convivial meals, while the open kitchens with central islands encourage relaxed cooking and conversation. Outdoors, the estate feels like its own world of serenity. Guests can bask by the heated pools, find shade beneath a thatched pergola, enjoy a game of pétanque at sunset, or simply watch the light fade across the countryside from the terrace. Each of the ten bedrooms offers its own unique charm, with soothing views of the gardens or pool. Just fifteen minutes from Essaouira, Domaine Driss combines the peace of rural Morocco with easy access to the vibrant culture and coastal allure of the city, a sanctuary for connection, relaxation, and slow living. Please note that the kitchen is for staff usage only; guests are not allowed to cook or prepare any meal.
