What can I can book?!

Pretty much anything and everything travel related, both in the UK and globally!

As long as they work with travel agents then I can book it for you, and luckily for me (and you) that's now the vast majority of the entire travel industry.

And most of these suppliers offer me price parity too, so you'll get all the extra services and benefits of booking with me at no extra cost.

I also don’t charge for my personal travel concierge services!

Just think of me as a Travel Personal Assistant. So, what are you waiting for?!

🐪Dar Al Laimuna, Marrakech, Morocco🐪

5 bedrooms | fully catered | daily maid service | concierge | pool heating | tennis court | fitness room

Prices from £967pp departing in May 2025, inclusive of flights & checked luggage!

Peacefully positioned in an exclusive enclave of private villas, this luxury staffed villa in Morocco sits amid broad lawns with magnificent views of the Atlas Mountains from the terraces, pool and roof terrace and offers high standards of service and comfort, within easy reach of Marrakech.

Far enough from Marrakech to enjoy the tranquillity of its oasis setting; near enough, at just 28km, to experience the buzz of the city’s lively bazaars, this beautiful villa makes a cossetting base from which to explore. With the Atlas Mountains as a backdrop, beckoning trekking enthusiasts to their rugged trails, the villa’s quietly calming tempo encourages ‘at home’ days of indulgent idling.

With a cook among the permanent staff, a cool pool with loungers and parasols on its paved poolside terrace, and shaded patios, comfortably furnished for al fresco dining and relaxing, Dar al-Laimuna is a beautiful house, where interior décor is a stylish blend of classic elegance and local character. Strewn with rugs, lit with ornate lanterns, tastefully styled and fully air-conditioned, the villa has an open-plan living/dining room, with a fireplace at each end. From the terraces steps lead up to the furnished roof terrace, a perfect spot for evening drinks.

The accommodation layout is straightforward. At ground floor level there are two very generously sized twin bedrooms, a pretty and also large double bedroom and a bunk bedroom accessed through the kitchen. On the first floor, the master bedroom suite has a romantic four-poster with private terrace with magnificent views of the Atlas Mountains. It is one of just eight villas sharing the private estate, where guests can also enjoy use of a tennis court and fitness room.
