Dar Zemora

Without a doubt, the maxim, ‘small is beautiful’ could hardly be more appropriate for the charming hotel Dar Zemora. It lies in the Palmeraie outside Marrakech, a peaceful country house ‘dar’, surrounded by three acres of tranquil gardens. Moreover, you are just fifteen minutes from the lively Djemaa-el-Fna the Medina.

Approached through a traditional gatehouse up a drive of olive trees, the entrance to Dar Zemora is a striking circular domed reception hall. You firstly receive warm greetings from the charming manager set the tone of an intimate house party. In other words, as The Daily Telegraph wrote, ‘nothing is too much trouble for these hosts, you will not find a more romantic bolthole’.

Rooms

There are just six rooms at Dar Zemora. These are made up of three rooms and three suites.  Mecilla, Safra and Bebra are the rooms that feature small balconies. The Perla Suite is upstairs and has a large private roof terrace. The Zahara Suite features its own private garden. The Pavilion Pool Suite is located in the gardens and has two bedrooms and a pool, so ideal for families.

Dining & Facilities

In addition, several gorgeous sitting rooms are decorated with a clever mixture of traditional Moroccan and contemporary chic. The excellent local cuisine is served in a dramatic and atmospheric dark red dining room.  Likewise, there is always somewhere to kick back and relax.

Palm studded gardens dotted with secret hideaways are resplendent with roses, orange and lemon trees, bougainvillaea and hibiscus. A large swimming pool is a perfect spot for drinking in the garden’s scents and the overall sound of silence. There is also a separate treatment room for massages, which is a blissful retreat from the world. As indeed, Dar Zemora is in its entirety.
