Marrakech’s Heritage
A fusion of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship and contemporary design, the Almaha Marrakech is perfectly placed for exploring all this magical city has to offer.
The work of acclaimed Belgian architect Charles Kaisin, the Almaha is a tranquil hideaway full of polished tadelakt, traditional mosaics, intricately carved wood and delicate drapery. Set behind immense wooden doors, the property enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the old kasbah where the royal stables once stood. Mere steps from the Saadian Tombs and Jemaa el-Fna square with its snake charmers and fragrant food stalls. Further afield the vast desert and majestic Atlas Mountains await exploration.
Guests are accommodated in just 12 individually styled bedrooms fitted with handmade furnishings, curated artwork and underfloor heating – some also benefit from a private terrace. Facilities include a sublime marble spa with traditional Moroccan Hammams, a refreshing outdoor pool and a serene rooftop terrace where you can look out across the medina skyline towards the mountains beyond. Not forgetting the striking Pixel Lounge – a room covered with quilted silk cushions overlaid with images of scenes from the Jemaa el Fna square.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
