Walk barefoot through Villa Mandarine and the soles of your feet will give you a sense of life and cultured tastes. Beijmat tiles – only found in Morocco – glazed Taddelakt and Zellige mosaics are a delight for the eyes. Decorative ironwork compliments the hotel’s growing collection of local art. Large French windows flood natural light and invite in the fragrances of jasmine trees, datura and bougainvillea.

And, as if that wasn’t reason enough for visiting Villa Mandarine on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Morocco, the villa is also located within easy reach of the royal garden city of Rabat – famed for its fortified city walls, Medina and the Kasbah of the Oudayas.
