Casa Taos

Marrakesh


Hicham and family ladle out lashings of hospitality at this colourful villa with beautiful rooms and a two-bed family pavilion, all kitted out in an eclectic fusion melding modern and traditional Moroccan design with art deco. Wipe off the medina dust and loll by the large pool under swaying palm trees. At mealtimes, feast on innovative Mediterranean menus made from this foodie family's organic garden produce.

With advance booking, nonguests can savour Casa Taos' genial ambience with pool access for Dh165 per person and a delicious à la carte menu (with kids' options) available for those who want to take lunch in the garden. Hicham works with a local taxi driver who charges about Dh100 for one-way transfers (up to three people).
