With its clean lines, raw materials and architectural finesse, the Villa d’O, one of our best villas among our great collection of luxury properties in Marrakech, offers a refined escape in the heart of the Palmeraie. A discreetly luxurious home surrounded by olive trees and bathed in light, it embodies the harmony between Moroccan craftsmanship and modern design. The villa is perfectly oriented to provide access to the garden from nearly every room : a true dialogue between architecture and nature.
Its owner, Alain, has been living in Marrakech for over a decade. After owning one of the most renowned villas in the area, he chose to build his own personal haven, where family, nature and comfort come together. “The project lasted two years,” he explains. “And we kept evolving the vision along the way.”
Designed by Studio Beja-Pujol, a Parisian architecture firm, Villa d’Ô features expansive volumes, open spaces, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the exteriors. One of the key architectural elements is the contemporary fireplace in the 100 m² living room, where guests can gather around a giant screen for movie nights or share long evenings with friends. Every photo of the villa reflects this balance between bold design and inviting comfort.
The structure honours Moroccan construction methods : adobe walls, traditional ironwork, hand-finished walnut, and local stone while embracing a timeless, international aesthetic. The interiors blend Cassina furniture, artisan pieces, and curated objects sourced from Marrakech’s best workshops. The living room opens directly onto the inner courtyard and garden, where a 400-year-old olive tree, found 200 km away, anchors the property in majestic calm.
Each bedroom opens onto a private terrace or patio, offering a sense of serenity and personal space. All rooms are equipped with convenience air conditioning, safety fence options for families, and a safe deposit box for valuables.
Villa d’O's landscaped garden extends toward the distant peaks of the Atlas Mountains, with large water basins, shaded areas and an outdoor swimming pool designed for both summer sun and Moroccan winter light. The home was designed to blur the line between inside and out, allowing constant access to the garden, whether from the living room, suites or terraces.
This tranquil space is ideal for yoga sessions, reading retreats, or family moments. The home also features underfloor cooling, and a private gym. Everything has been thought out for comfort and well-being, with the feel of a five-star property, but the privacy of home.
“Luxury is in the experience,” says Alain. With a house chef, villa gardener maid, and a trusted team including a cook, guests enjoy discreet, long-time staff who’ve worked with the family for years. “Those who value privacy and service will feel truly at ease here.”
The kitchen includes professional kitchen equipment, and the cook can prepare traditional Moroccan cuisine, international dishes, or menus tailored to dietary preferences — with discount on children meals also available. Upon request, the concierge can pre-stock groceries or arrange for request items to be ready on arrival.
Through Villanovo’s local concierge, guests may also organize events, spa treatments, private chefs in your villa in Marrakech, golf bookings, or tailor-made excursions. We also offer a full description less concierge experience for guests who prefer independence. Any booking modification is subject to our reservation conditions-guarantee, and arrival planning is based on villa local time, with support available in the days to arrival day.
In addition to the giant screen and entertainment features in the living room, the villa includes satellite TV, sound systems, and quiet spaces on every private terrace. The gym and wine cellar are at guests' disposal, and the entire property is a property without prior approval, a rare freedom in Marrakech.
Multilingual staff ensures smooth communication in your preferred language. Whether you're staying in summer or Moroccan winter, the home adapts to every season with both heated and cooled floors, shaded outdoor lounges, and fireplaces for crisp evenings.
For Alain, Marrakech is a city of endless discoveries. He recommends must-sees like the Yves Saint Laurent Museum or Dar el Bacha with its Café Bacha Coffee, as well as hidden gems like Chez Zoé “which simply has the most beautiful sheets in the world.”
Design lovers will enjoy Corinne Bensimon’s ceramics at the Beldi Country Club, or the works of Clémentine Aguettant. In Guéliz, don’t miss the vibrant artisan scene or a stop at Soufiane Zarib’s gallery for stunning carpets.
For outdoor explorers, bicycles are available at the villa, with suggested rides to Berber villages like Oumnas or the nearby greens for golfers.
