Dar Ayniwen Villa Hotel, Marrakech

Hotel Introduction

Dar Ayniwen provides the best of both worlds: an opulent resort that caters to guests’ every whim and the feeling that you’re ensconced in the home of a good friend. From the expanses of lush gardens to the Asian-influenced architecture and décor of the main house, everywhere you turn is a new feast for the senses that manages to merge traditional attention to detail with modern flair and technology.

Indulgence is built into the Dar Ayniwen property, offering guests the bliss of a heated swimming pool that’s the perfect temperature anytime you choose to take a dip, a traditional hammam for a luxurious bathing experience, and a gourmet restaurant featuring the dishes of a remarkable Moroccan cook. Of course, the two hectacre gardens are always a superb way to pass the time. Explore the different areas—including an English lawn, cactus garden, and wooded section—while also enjoying the scents of orange blossom, jasmine, and hibiscus.

Each of the eight suites boasts antiques culled from Morocco and numerous other global destinations, as well as luxurious materials, exquisite furnishings, private terraces, and artistic mosaics. Modern touches in the rooms include marble bathrooms, satellite TVs, CD and DVD players, and a media library. Many of the suites provide extras such as doors that open onto the pool and garden, fireplaces, and hammam-like bathrooms.

Dining
A talented Moroccan chef delights diners with outrageously delicious dishes from his homeland, as well as authentic Italian fare to please every taste.

For culinary-minded guests who want to come away with more than just memories of fine dining, the chef offers onsite cookery classes for groups and individuals.
