  A must....

  29 Jun 2025

  A clean, calm and quiet environment. Beautiful landscaped surroundings. Close proximity to the town centre and the airport. The management and staff are friendly and supportive. Big shout out to Salah at the front desk he was very helpful and accommodating.A reason sized clean pool with more than sufficient sunbeds and umbrellas.A place I would definitely return to.

  The most beautiful hotel and staff are exceptional. We had a wonderful weekend break and honestly cannot recommend this hotel enough. So relaxing, so beautiful, so authentic and everyone who works here makes the holiday. Food was wonderful and we cannot wait to return. Nothing is too much trouble ❤️

  Gem of a find within a stones throw of the city

  04 Mar 2024

  Stayed for 4 nights in February, booked through a booking agent but you can book directly. As we arrived the experience began. Staff are so helpful and happy to do anything for you. Met with mint tea and sat to relax by the pool as they delivered our case to our room. Only a small amount of rooms here so very exclusive, is very quiet and relaxing being slightly outside the main city. No noise of cars, roads etc, very quiet and serene which is exactly what we wanted for a couples retreat. Rooms were all en suite and roomy, large comfortable beds and air con. Our was upstairs so had a south facing balcony but ground floor rooms had private terraces. The accomodation building is round so there is no being overlooked by your neighbour, feels very private. Indeed we only saw a handful of travellers for or whole stay. Breakfast serve between 8 and 10 consisted of breads, cakes, jams and honey, eggs served as scrambled, boiled or omelette. A fruit salad, yoghurt and tea or coffee. Absolutely plenty to fill you for the morning. The in house restaurant also serves lunch from a menu and takes bookings for dinner. Food can be served inside the dining room or on the terrace - seems to depend on the weather and temperature. Good food and well prepared from the French owners kitchen. For dinner they like to take your order when you book so they can prepare for your arrival. A good selection of wines available from the menu too. Hotel has a bar too which is accessible all day. Nice to have afternoon mint tea by the pool. Tea is always served with some mini cakes. The pool is heated and located right outside the main villa dining room/bar/reception building. There are day beds and sun loungers as well as coffee table areas that surround the pool for your comfort. There is a covered dining terrace at one end that we had lunch under. The grounds and gardens are fairly large, plenty enough for the guests staying and we were able to move sun loungers onto the grassed areas in the grounds for sun positioning and further privacy. There is also boules/petanque area available to guests at no cost. There are some delightful art sculptures dotted around the grounds which add a little je ne sais quai. Being out of town it is quiet but if you wish to venture in, the hotel will order you a taxi to take you into the medina (or anywhere else) and arrange for them to bring you back later. This is a private firm so no haggling with yellow cab drivers on prices. You probably pay a little more for a round trip (maybe £25) but it’s all convenient as it’s billed to your room with no need to deal in cash. A cab to the medina is around 10 minutes though the traffic. Almost everything supplied or provided is billed directly to your room so convenient to deal with one itemised bill at the end of the week. The hotel offers arranged tours at the reception desk ranging from food tours, Atlas Mountains and hot air balloon trips. They also have a partner that offers massage and spa treatments - body, head massages, scrubs, manicure pedicure etc. All reasonably priced and the masseurs come to your room to perform the treatments, no need to go anywhere. Again, all billed directly to your room. No hammam offered though as no facilities for steam/sauna or wash room. In all we had an absolutely fantastic and relaxing time here. Ordered what we wanted when we wanted it and no noise or staff bothering you for any upsell during the day. Able to relax, soak up the sun, read a book in perfect surroundings with very little other people around. If you want a serene, peaceful break then this is worth booking. Don’t expect pool bars, karaoke and organised kids clubs. The staff were absolutely great and assured to make this a lovely trip. If I had to offer anything as an upgrade to this villa, there were no robes in the rooms or blankets for sitting out on a cooler evening. Other than that, we could not fault Villa Al Assala for giving us a memorable and enjoyable break in Marrakech.

  Amazing Stay to Villa Al Assala

  22 Jul 2023

  One of the best address (if not the best one) if you like to stay in the Palmeraie and very closed to La Medina. Small boutique hotel (round 10 rooms only) located in a superb park. Our room was very clean, well furnished (incl. expresso machine, daily mineral water...), swimming pool is amazing (top sunbed for everyone) and an important detail....WIFI is extremely good in all areas. But the top of the top is the 5 stars service provided by Valentine and Didier (his father) and the local Team. Breakfast was great and Food menu (for lunch and/or dinner) offers a wide variety of delicious international cuisine and Marrocan specialties (If I am not wrong Didier was granted a Michelin star some years ago).Thanks a lot to all the team for your warm welcome and for this great stay. We will surely come back again. Cedric and all Family Valentine BACKAERT, Directeur général at Villa Al Assala La Palmerale, responded to this review Dear Cedric, thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience and for this wonderful comment. We are glad that you enjoyed the calm and atmosphere of the villa Al Assala, as well as the quality of the cuisine of our chef Didier. The whole team is at your disposal and hope to see you again soon. Valentine
