An utterly unique villa in the Palmeraie of Marrakech for exclusive holidays with family and friends. All meals are made with fresh produce, always organic.
(32)

Created by French visual artist Jean-François Fourtou, Dar El Sadaka is an extraordinary private villa sanctuary only 20-minute drive into the historical centre of Marrakech. It offers attentive service to the most discerning clientele in an extraordinary setting: works of art scattered throughout the property, lush gardens, elegant interiors, refined organic gastronomy, and discreet staff who pay

attention to every detail with the aim to make you feel at home. Disturbingly realistic yet friendly animal sculptures, created on different scales, are dotted throughout Dar El Sadaka. Outside guests are welcomed by a giant sheep standing beside the swimming pool. Orangutans are perched on the living room lamps and a larger than life-size giraffe leans over the dining room table. With its seven suites and two ensuite bedrooms, the villa can accommodate up to 20 guests at one time. Giraffe Suite, Dog Suite, Camels Suite, Geese Suite, Bee Bedroom… Each is a cocoon of harmony in natural hues, individually designed and fragranced. For Dar El Sadaka, chef Madame Hasna composes authentic, creative and delicate cuisine every day. The cuisine is Moroccan and international. Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher and detox menus are also available. Dar El Sadaka offers a multitude of extraordinary backdrops to stage timelessly magical moments. Imagine the sumptuous Moroccan atmosphere of feasting in the Caïdal tent, the indescribable romanticism of dining under a tree adorned with a thousand-and-one candles, or even star gazing and indulging with gourmet cuisine on the astronomical terrace. The Dar El Sadaka 25-acre secluded estate is designed to give guests complete privacy and freedom. Engulfed by lush vegetation and guarded 24/7, the villa is equipped with air conditioning and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, a satellite TV in the library and a cinema room. There is a shaded dining terrace and a spacious traditional Caïdal tent. There is also a gym, a traditional hammam, a spa treatment room, and a huge heptagonal outdoor pool with day beds and squishy sofas in the shade. Other exterior amenities include a tennis court, a ping-pong table, a bowls pitch and swings for children. Dar El Sadaka provides exceptional hospitality and services. It offers a house chef and house staff, daily housekeeping and turndown service, massages, body and beauty treatments, tennis, yoga and Tai Chi classes, babysitting, a concierge service, private transportation with English-speaking drivers and custom-designed off-site activities. Get in touch to book you stay and plan your next magical escape with your loved ones.
