Our View
If you love Marrakech but dislike the bustle and busyness of Morocco’s vibrant souk? Your answer is to stay in a peaceful and private villa in the beautiful Ourika Valley, just 35-minutes from the city, allowing you to dip in and out of Marrakech’s pleasures at your own pace.
From sunrise yoga to rooftop sundowner drinks and lantern-lit dinners, Dar Arbala’s team of smiley staff know exactly how to keep everyone happy. And with both the Atlas Mountains and Marrakech in easy reach, there’s plenty to do, although returning to the villa’s peaceful, nature-filled ambience may just be the best part of your day.

Moorish Charm
One of Dar Arbala’s greatest joys is its incredible sense of space. From the lofty roof terrace with views of the Atlas Mountains to hidden corners in the lush garden, the villa allows a large group to simultaneously have privacy and flexibility. The highlight must be the villa’s pool – 18-metres long and sitting among greenery that includes manicured foliage, olive and fruit trees. The bedrooms are also notably gorgeous and sizable, decorated in a modern Moroccan style with monochromatic Berber rugs, fireplaces and lavish bathrooms.
