DETAILS & AMENITIES

Offering a wonderful blend of old and new, Dar Mimoun is a plush, dreamy riad that sits in the Sidi Mimoun district of Marrakech’s Medina. It boasts seven heavenly bedrooms which invite long lazy lie-ins, gorgeous entertainment spaces, two courtyards, two pools and a fantastic roof terrace. A highly professional team of staff will ensure that the riad is immaculate, that you enjoy delicious breakfasts and extra meals on request and give advice on excursions and arrange a number of services. You can’t go wrong at Dar Mimoun. It really is an exceptional riad with character, charm and glorious modern touches in abundance.
 
As soon as you enter the doors of Dar Mimoun, you will enjoy a glorious and gracious holiday experience. The riad is organized around two courtyards, one traditional and the other offering contemporary flair. Each courtyard is accessed through central living and dining rooms. Some of the bedrooms are located around the traditional courtyard, and two are located around the modern courtyard. The traditional courtyard is a beautiful space with gorgeous towering palms, a pretty pool, fabulous lights and a wonderful mix of modern furnishings. At one end, there is a delightful open lounge alcove. The courtyard is drowned in natural light and radiates charm and elegance.
 
Just off the traditional courtyard is a fabulously charming living room with a fireplace and a range of accent chairs and sofa seating. There is another living space with a television linked to the contemporary dining room. This dining room enjoys a totally modern feel with an ultra-long dining table and bench seating. A wall of floor-to-ceiling contemporary black framed windows and doors opens to the contemporary courtyard, which is a great contrast to the other one. With dazzling white walls, trendy chairs and two ancient olive trees, it is a wonderful space where you can sneak off for a quiet read of your holiday book and a glass of wine. Just off the courtyard, you will find the massage room with a shower where you can enjoy some fabulous indulgent treatments on request.
 
Each of the seven bedrooms offers its own style and color palette. They are all dreamy spaces with intricate headboards, luxury linens, gorgeous lighting and tasteful soft furnishings. They all boast exquisite bathrooms with luxury toiletries and fluffy towels. One room sits on the ground floor, offering a beautifully dressed king-size bed. On the first floor, there are five bedrooms, two with king-size beds and living areas, one with a double bed, one with a small double bed and one with a king-size bed and a single. The two bedrooms surrounding the modern courtyard enjoy contemporary flair and more of those wonderful black framed windows.
 
Dar Mimoun’s roof terrace is absolutely fabulous. It enjoys a swimming pool of 5m x 2.6m for a cooling dip, lots of lounge chairs and sun loungers, a large alfresco lounge area, a dining table for fourteen, a barbecue, a summer kitchen and sensational views of the Medina and the dramatic Atlas Mountains. There is even a handy shower that you can use before and after your pool dip.

Location:

Dar Mimoun enjoys a fabulous position near the Royal residence and the Mamounia, only ten-minute walk from Jamaa el Fna Square. Ten-minute’s drive will take golfers to the Royal Palm golf course or the Royal Golf at Amelkis. You can reach the Jardins Majorelle in ten minutes too.

Marrakech is a bustling, intoxicating, colorful city that offers an inexhaustible source of surprises. It is Africa’s Capital of Culture where everything is on the move. Colorful spices, glistening lamps, colorful carpets and leather in every shade imaginable are combined with rich, ancient architecture to capture your heart and soul. Its souks are loud, thrilling and very exciting. You will discover snake charmers, storytellers and potion sellers. Dining in the Medina is an adventure and will set your tastebuds tingling. Smoke rises from barbecues which are enjoyed along with Gnawa musicians, acrobats and fortune tellers. The famous Patisserie des Princes is perfect for sweet treats and ice cream afterwards. Many of the riads boast exquisite restaurants for fine dining experiences where you will enjoy creative, spice-laced modern Moroccan menus, many of which are on rooftops with fabulous views. Your friendly staff at the riad can recommend and book tables for you. The wonderful Riad Yima Tea Room is the home and personal gallery of Hassan Hajjaj, the Andy Warhol of Marrakech and is filled with upcycled pop art. It is fun and a great place to grab a classic cup of mint tea. In 1985, Marrakech’s Medina was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hammams were introduced to the city by the Romans and adapted to fit Islamic ablution rituals. Visitors enjoy wonderful hammam experiences at Hammam de la Rose, the Farnatchi Spa, the deluxe Royal Mansour and many other spas.
 
The Bahia Palace was built in the late 19th century and now forms the center of the city’s culture. It boasts incredible decor along with high, gilded ceilings, mosaics, stuccos, paintings and an enormous, landscaped garden.
 
Marrakech enjoys an excellent collection of museums, including Maison de la Photographie, a three-story riad-turned-gallery housing the vintage Moroccan photography collection of Patrick Menac’h and Marrakshi Hamid Mergani. Its rooftop cafe is one of the highest in Medina. The Musee Tiskiwin displays the history of Marrakech and the region in general. The Dar Si Said Museum is an exhibition of historic and contemporary Moroccan art, full of intricate Byzantine designs and colors. The Music Museum is located in the Saadian quarter, built in the 16th and 17th centuries. The reception of the museum is a jewel of Arab-Andalusian architecture.
 
You can discover some of the city’s history at the 16th-century Saadian Tombs, where the Sultan al-Mansour spared no expense in decorating his opulent mausoleum with imported Italian Carrara marble and a gilded honeycomb muqarnas ceiling. The once magnificent Bali Palace is now a monumental ruin with giant reflecting pools and breathtaking views of the city.
 
The area around the city is sprinkled with magical gardens. Le Jardin Secret is one of Medina’s largest and most important gardens, with a Persian garden full of tufty grasses and olive, pomegranate, fig and date trees and a second smaller garden offering exotic plants. An elaborate irrigation system weaves its way through the gardens, part of an ancient network that once distributed water from artesian wells and fed by the mountains. When fashion icon Yves St Laurent arrived in the city in 1964, he was overwhelmed by the city and its vivacity. He lived in the Jardin Majorelle with his partner, a lush garden painted with an intense shade of ultramarine blue. It is sprinkled with giant cacti, palms and bamboo groves. The Berber Museum is filled with Yves St Laurent’s personal jewelry and fashion collection, and the Musee Yves St Laurent offers a stunning choreography presentation of the clothes in a dramatic black hall.
 
Once you have sampled the vibrancy and energy of the city, you can venture a few miles out to the cooler heights of the mountains. Northern Africa’s highest peak, Mount Toubkal, is just a short distance away, surrounded by the magnificent wonder of stunning mountains that are simply perfect for a hike. Within easy reach from the road, you will also find some of the best golf courses in Marrakech, including the Amelkis Championship Golf Course and the Marrakech Royal Golf Club. You will enjoy unforgettable day trips, visit traditional villages, taste delicious food, and enjoy the fabulous scenery and a mesmerizing mix of Berber, Arabian and European cultural influences. Morocco is as diverse as it is beautiful.
