L'Amandier is an unparalleled development, less than an hour from Marrakech, of architect-designed villas in Morocco. The properties are intended to blend the best of Moroccan artisan craftsmanship, traditional materials and layouts with the latest design aesthetics and facilities.
The serenity of the immediate landscape and far-reaching views to the Atlas Mountains are incredible - villas blur the distinction between inside and out and have been designed to blend in absolutely with the landscape.
There are eight two-bedroom villas and eight three-bedroom villas in this small, boutiquey development. All have en-suite bathrooms, modern kitchens, internal courtyards and private gardens as well as roof terraces and some have private plunge pools.
