Geographical situation

Ideally located 8 kilometres from Marrakech’s international airport (about a 3-hour flight from London, Paris or Geneva) and 15 minutes south of the ramparts of the Medina, Domaine Royal Palm is easily recognised by its majestic entrance off the Amizmiz road. At the foot of the High Atlas Mountains on the way to the Lala Takerkoust dam, the domain is built on a former olive grove whose hundred-year-old trees and most beautiful specimens have been preserved.

Ecollogically aware hotel & villa concept

Is founded on the principle of reasonable management of natural resources.  For the founders of the project, respect is everything: respect for nature, for Morocco, its heritage and its traditional values.
They have endeavored to safeguard the terrain’s topography in order to avoid, in as much as possible, excavating and denaturalizing the land.
Out of the highest regard for this Moroccan soil, the villas are built using terracotta bricks.
All of the fences delimiting the Domain and the individual plots take the form of traditional cob walls in bare earth or thick shrubby hedges using native species while no fewer than 20,000 olive trees stand scattered across the estate.
The overall layout of the villas follows the natural contours of the land resulting in uniquely-shaped plots that preserve the topography and recall the spontaneity of Berber villages.
In a civilization where trees are never felled, buildings adapt to the whims of nature and the planners will not hesitate to modify the line of a wall to accommodate a venerable orange tree.
The villas are positioned so as to optimize natural temperature variations making the most of shaded areas while facilitating the flow of air.
