Villa Makassar

Villa Makassar evokes the splendor of the "roaring twenties" within its pair of Art Deco riads. Located at the southern end of the historic medina, guests will experience Marrakesh in ultimate comfort, and enjoy the echoes of a bygone era.

Property Details

Behind the tall wooden doors of Villa Makassar, a romantic setting welcomes you to Marrakesh. The interior courtyard is flanked by high archways, leading the way to the inspired common areas and intimate accommodations. You will find the hallmarks of Moroccan design at every turn including tadelakt surfaces, rich local timber, marble, and custom wrought iron and glass work.

Select from one of just 10 rooms at Villa Makassar, each of them individually styled and unique in their layout. All accommodations have been impeccably enhanced for modern luxury travelers. Wireless Internet is available throughout the riad, and each room is fitted with a flat-screen television and satellite channels. Comfortable cotton bed linens, hand-crafted local tapestries, a plush bathrobe and slippers: these soft details offer balance against the interiors of wood, plaster, and ceramic tile.

The Le Makassar fine dining restaurant crafts dishes with seasonal produce and local ingredients, creating the perfect fusion of Moroccan flavors and international tastes. Take your meals in the Art Deco dining room, surrounded by period-inspired furnishings and artworks. You may also retreat to the privacy of your suite for elegant in-room dining. Select from a variety of cognacs and malts served at the Churchill Bar, and settle in on the supple leather sofas to enjoy a cigar if you wish.

An enviable position within the medina of Marrakesh places the city and its fascinating cultural features at your fingertips. Marrakesh’s legendary Jewish quarter and the spectacular sights of the Jemaa El Fna open air market are both a short, colorful walk away from Villa Makassar. Between your explorations, the riad offers moments of rest and reflection. Take a quick dip in the shaded plunge pool or if you prefer, rest in the lounge and browse through the collection of design books. In addition to its menu of body and beauty treatments, the spa features a hammam and two steam bath rooms. Head up to the rooftop terrace and observe life in the medina from up above – it’s a view you can’t miss.
