Home details
Villa Amine is a hidden gem nestled among olive groves in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, just thirty-minutes from the bustle of Marrakech. From the moment you step through the grand entrance courtyard, with its brick-vaulted loggia and fragrant jasmine, you’re immersed in a world of serenity and charm. The main villa and guest house are centred around beautiful salons, cosy reading nooks, and a grand dining room adorned with hand-painted ceilings and richly decorated furnishings. Each of the six en-suite bedrooms opens onto a private terrace or balcony, inviting the outdoors in.
Wander through shaded walkways into the lush gardens, where clipped hedges meet wild blooms and secret corners perfect for reading or sipping mint tea. The heated swimming pool is flanked by parasols and loungers, with a poolside pavilion and bar offering a leisurely lunch spot. The estate’s multiple terraces and outdoor dining areas are made for long evenings under the stars. It’s a place where time slows down, with the Atlas peaks ever-present on the horizon.
Please note that the kitchen is for staff usage only; guests are not allowed to cook or prepare any meal. Usage of the kitchen for nibbles (tea, coffee, sandwich, etc.) might be allowed prior to agreement with the owner/property manager.

Visitors to Rahba Kedima will find themselves surrounded by a plethora of spice stalls, where heaps of cumin, saffron, and ras el hanout create a painter's palette of hues and an olfactory tapestry that is quintessentially Moroccan.
