Some homes just have a certain feel when you step inside and this three bedroom villa at Amelkis Resort in Marrakech really does that. I remember opening the door here one afternoon and honestly just stopping for a second because the sunlight always seems to fall differently in Morocco and this house just catches it so well. You walk into a space that feels fresh and lived in at the same time. Someone definitely thought about how people really live when they designed these homes at Mouyal Menzah Hattan right in the middle of the golf course community.
Instead of big heavy columns or fancy flourishes everywhere you get these clever Moroccan details that make the rooms interesting but never confusing. It is the kind of place where the high ceilings make everything feel open but the cozy corners mean you always have somewhere to just curl up. The famous architect Charles Boccara left little touches all through. Take the living room on the ground floor. It just opens up into a patio that always seems to invite you out for fresh air or a late afternoon cup of coffee. Seems like someone could spend ages there just listening to the breeze. There is a real kitchen here too and by that I mean you could happily cook every night, not just heat up leftovers. The country style layout suits the warm colors of Marrakech and you can actually see across the open plan space while chopping vegetables, which is nice if someone else is hanging out in the dining area or coming in from outside.
Downstairs you find two bedrooms that actually feel private but still look out over this manicured lawn. Sometimes you see little birds hopping through the grass. The main bedroom is upstairs and it feels almost like a quiet hideaway. You get your own terrace up there, where you can see part of the golf course and the Atlas Mountains in the distance if the air is clear. There is also a private sitting room in the master suite, so mornings can be peaceful if you are someone who likes to read before breakfast.
What probably ends up being everyone's favorite is the back garden. The pool sits in a spot that catches the sun for most of the day. You end up with a little sun trap where you can just float and gaze up at the blue sky. The entry courtyard is kind of special too. There is a water feature that adds a soft sound through the house when the windows are open. Just one of those little details that makes a place feel like home instead of just another villa.
Life at Amelkis Resort is honestly relaxed. You are in one of the top golf resorts in Marrakech and even if you do not play, you will notice the lawns are always green and there is a sense of open space everywhere you walk. Sometimes you hear the soft whack of a ball in the distance. The clubhouse is nearby and locals actually use it which says a lot about the feel of the place. People gather at the restaurant or on the pool deck in the evenings and every time I visit, I see a few regulars who live here year round. Schools and shops are not far either. If you hop in the car, you can be at a shopping center or the airport in just a few minutes. In the evenings kids are often seen biking around the lanes and it just feels like a safe tucked away part of Marrakech.
You can see the golf course while you sit on your terrace and honestly, there are mornings here where you might just forget to check your phone. This villa feels like a real home whether you are thinking about moving to Marrakech full time or just want a comfortable holiday place.
It is always hard to capture every bit of what makes a property feel right.
