Location: Marrakesh, Morocco
Price: €3.9 million (US$4.4 million)
Stark contemporary lines and traditional textures, local materials, top-of-the-line amenities and eclectic modernist furniture come together seamlessly in this charming Marrakesh villa. Built in 2019 as one of a small development of nine villas in the Bab Atlas area on the northern edge of the city, the home's agent, Alex Peto, highlights its "unparalleled quality of construction."
Mr. Peto added that so many villas in the area were built 10 to 20 years ago and need to be completely redone, while this home is fully equipped with everything today's buyers expect—styled to contemporary tastes. "Huge windows everywhere flood the house with natural light. This is not the way villas were built 10 to 20 years ago. They traditionally had small windows to keep heat in or out, depending on the time of year."
Stats
The 17,136-square-foot home has seven bedrooms and nine full bathrooms, and sits on 2.5 acres of land.

Amenities
This home's amenities are a perfect balance of traditional features and modern conveniences. The spa has a traditional stone hammam, or Turkish bath, as well as a massage room. The wellness facilities also include a gym and an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. Three terraces provide extensive indoor/outdoor living options, including a large, well-furnished covered patio perfect for long evenings of entertaining. Mr. Peto noted that life can be lived largely outdoors at least six months of the year in Morocco. Beautiful landscaped gardens are maintained by a sprinkler system and feature a private well.
Inside, the home is equipped with underfloor heating for cold Moroccan winters, and those who work from home will benefit from both a library and an office. Entertainment options include a home cinema, as well as a 443-square-foot basement-level games room with a bar and pool table.
Neighborhood Notes
Located in the popular Bab Atlas neighborhood of Marrakech city, the villa is only 15 minutes from the bustling city center. While it's within the city bounds, Bab Atlas benefits from also being in the heart of the Palmeraie, a 54 square mile oasis of several hundred thousand palm trees at the city's northern edge, with views of the iconic Atlas Mountains to the north. "You can pop into the hustle and bustle of the city and be back in 15 minutes to the tranquility and open spaces that the Palmeraie offers," Mr. Peto said. He mentioned as well that the area is home to notable residents, such as the Emir of Qatar.
From Penta: Tip-Toeing Back Into Travel
As well as being an area of astounding natural beauty, the sought-after neighborhood is also known for its world class museums—including Museum Palmeraie and High Atlas—and its luxury resorts and attractions, such as the Palmeraie Rotana Resort and Nikki Beach Hotel, as well as the PalmGolf Marrakech Golf Club.
The villa itself is right next door to the five-star Tigmiza hotel and spa, perfect for strolling over for dinner and a drink, Mr. Peto suggested.
