Explore Dar Zemora

A brief taxi journey away from the bustling Medina and its vibrant souks, Dar Zemora emerges as a charming country villa, enveloped by fragrant orange and lemon trees, palms, roses, oleander, and bougainvillea. Upon entering the drive, flanked by olive trees and illuminated by flickering lanterns at night, the chaotic energy of the city instantly dissipates.

At Dar Zemora, the English proprietors have fashioned an unassuming country-house style hotel, offering guests the flexibility to be as sociable or private as they desire. Whether unwinding in one of the two spacious sitting rooms, lounging in the ‘Fan’ room with its draping fabrics, floor cushions, and low tables, perusing the library’s collection of coffee table and guide books, or simply idling the day away by the pool in the enchanting gardens designed to captivate the senses, the options for relaxation are abundant.

This serves as an ideal retreat for those who have experienced Marrakech before or for those seeking a respite from the frenetic energy of the Medina, providing a tranquil haven to dip in and out of the city’s lively atmosphere.

Nestled in the Palmeraie just outside Marrakech, Dar Zemora is a boutique hotel. The city center is easily accessible, taking approximately 15 minutes, while the Menara airport is conveniently less than 30 minutes away. Despite widespread recommendations for riads, my preference was a hotel that exuded a tranquil and relaxed ambiance throughout the entire trip, coupled with a beautiful setting and Moroccan character. The hotel, characterized by its serene atmosphere, provided impeccable and attentive service that made us feel at home, rendering it challenging to depart towards the conclusion of our stay.

The staff at this establishment are not only friendly but also exceptionally helpful, ensuring they attend to your every need. It’s the thoughtful touches, such as complimentary bottled water, provided iPods, scented candles, and fresh flowers, that elevate the experience and make this place truly special.

For those seeking relaxation, the fantastic hamman is available for pampering and invigorating experiences. It serves as an oasis of peace and tranquility, particularly welcoming after a bustling day of sightseeing or shopping.

The ambiance is further enhanced by a charming 3-acre garden and a heated swimming pool, offering a serene retreat. The luxurious suites, filled with natural light and equipped with fireplaces, provide an indulgent experience. The large private terraces add an extra layer of comfort and luxury to complete the overall experience.

Best Time to go

Marrakech experiences intense heat during the summer months of July and August, characterized by dry and relentless conditions. Given the extreme temperatures, Dar Zemora remains closed for all or most of August annually. The optimal times to visit are undoubtedly during the spring and autumn seasons. By the end of October, evenings begin to cool, although midday sun remains warm enough for comfortable outdoor activities.

During winter, spanning from November to March, the weather fluctuates from cold and rainy to sunny days with temperatures suitable for outdoor enjoyment. One distinctive feature of Dar Zemora is its heated swimming pool, allowing guests to swim throughout the year—a rare amenity in Marrakech. Numerous communal areas are also available for lounging during the colder months, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay regardless of the season.
