The newly built, luxurious Manzah al Jamil is situated in the exclusive Palmeraie area, 15 minutes from the city centre. A successful combination of traditional Moroccan charm and sophisticated contemporary design, the property is accessed by an entrance gate with two impressive towered gatehouses, then a palm lined driveway which winds gracefully across two lakes to the main house. At the entrance to the house, an elegant cascading fountain falls into a series of ornamental pools containing papyrus lilies, aquatic plants and fish. Within the 7 acre garden, filled with flowers, trees and vines, is a long reflecting pool, leading to an impressive 20 metre swimming pool, which can be heated on request. A summerhouse beside the pool has been designed for relaxing in the shade and there is also a gazebo for romantic dinners.
Numerous courtyards with exquisite Moorish fountains, a Caidal tent, marble bathrooms, plasma screens and a sophisticated sound system are just some of the features which make this one of the most exceptional properties in Morocco. Additional services available include full board, with Moroccan gastronomic meals and soft drinks provided, an English butler, an assistant to deal with concierge requirements and airport transfers.
The main hall has a cream polished stone floor with tadelakt walls and an Arbusson tapestry. This leads to a high vaulted gallery, which opens to a peaceful courtyard with fountain to the left and a large double-height salon to the right. The salon has an open fireplace, plasma TV, state of the art hi-fi equipment and, at the far end, a library, which leads to another loggia, furnished in colonial style. In an adjoining courtyard is an attractive dining area, close to a marble fountain, and with enchanting views across the reflecting pool and gardens. There is also a main dining room with open fire, fine wall tapestry and a large antique table.
