5 Bedroom Luxurious Villa - Anayela

Everything at the five-room AnaYela, in the northern part of Marrakech's Old City-from the rose petal-filmed plunge pool to the abundance of filigreed chandeliers that send spangles of light dancing off the walls-speaks of romance.

The riad, located in a 300-year-old palace that sits behind an unmarked wooden door, is thrillingly elusive, reached by a ten-minute walk through a series of twisty alleyways (a staff member will escort you from one of the main squares). Inside, the original structure has been left mostly intact, and the restrained creamy palette means the few occasional bursts of color-the terra cotta of the exposed brick, the ruby-toned etched-glass windowpanes, and the dozens of silver objects that decorate both the rooms and common areas-shine all the more brightly.

There are few concessions to modernity: Rooms have A/C but no locks, phones, or TV. Without these distractions, it's easy to wile away an entire day on the plush roof deck, polishing off another plate of almondy pastries brought by the sweet (if occasionally absent-minded) staff.

Rooms description

AnaYela consists of three rooms and two suites, providing accommodation for 10 guests. The first floor is air-conditioned. Due to the typical open plan design on the ground floor, air conditioning is not necessary, and it remains cool even in the hottest temperatures. Each room is individually decorated, and the suites also have brick-built baths for two.
