Marrakech

A community portal about Marrakech with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Marrakech or Marakesh, known as the "Red City or Al Hamra," is a city in southwestern Morocco in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. One of the possible origin of its name could be from the Tamazight words mur akuch, which means Land of God.. The same word "mur/mawr" appears in the country Mauritania, but this interpretation is still unproven to this day, and there are other possibilities which are often invoked. The name Morocco itself derives from Murrakush. This city is located at 31°37′60″N, 8°0′0″W and is the capital of the Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz region. Marrakech has the largest traditional market in Morocco and also has the busiest square in the entire continent of Africa, called Djemaa el Fna.

L'Amandier Project - Ourgaine Villas

Written by mumafrica on

From: marrakechemma.blogspot.com

A while ago, December actually I got a phone call from a couple of ladies, Jen and her sister Mikaela who wanted to talk to me about Villa Interiors.

They came to the riad and we all had a long chat and got on very well, I showed them around the riad and they seemed to like it. It turned out that their wonderful project was 16 villas in the Atlas Mountains.

The small villa development in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, just an hour’s drive from Marrakech, L’Amandier will be a luxury development of privately owned villas, a large swimming pool, a tennis court, plunge pools, and gardens peppered with Bougainvillea, almond and citrus trees.

It sits on a plateau surrounded by the magnificent snow-capped Atlas Mountains, a short distance from Sir Richard Branson’s luxury retreat, Kasbah Tamadot, and other established spas, hotels and restaurants.

This is somewhere one can’t help but relax, unwind and enjoy the clean air, unspoilt panoramic views, tranquillity and space.
With 300 days a year sunshine and an aggressive national policy to boost tourism from 2 million to 10 million a year by 2010, Morocco has become one of the key hotspots for property investment.

For full details of this stunning development see:

They also are writing a wonderful blog which keeps you up to the development of the villas and the sites as they are being built. The blog is well written and a good read - www.lamandier-maroc.com/blog/

We had a wonderful day visiting the site, the plot is absolutely breathtaking. Not far from Marrakech either but excellent as a retreat or to do some wonderful walking in the mountains.
