The House

I have booked this 7 bedroom, 10 Bed, 8 bathroom villa just outside Marrakesh!

Taken from the airbnb listing:

A contemporary Villa with oriental and modern influences that will make you travel in traditional Moroccan art. Made by one of the best architects in Marrakech, Palais Sohan offers you a unique place with multiple inspirations. With its 7 beautiful suites with personalized decorations, you will travel to the very heart of the villa.
Escape in the middle of the garden of scents, discover the multitude of colors offered by Moroccan flora and recharge your batteries on each of the private terraces.
Palais Sohan also offers you a beautiful swimming pool, a spa with hammam to make your stay an unforgettable one.
A few minutes away from the centre of Marrakech, explore the Red City.

The Rooms

The Villa has 7 Bedrooms as follows;

Bedroom 1 - 1 Queen bed + 1 Sofa bed

Bedroom 2 - 1 Double Bed + 1 Sofa bed

Bedroom 3 - 1 Queen Bed + 1 Sofa bed

Bedroom 4 - 1 Double Bed

Bedroom 5 - 1 Double bed

Bedroom 6 - 1 Double bed

Bedroom 7 - 1 Double bed

The Food and Drink

Breakfast each morning is included in the price of each option. Bottles of drinking water will also be provided. Any other food and drink I.e dinners out, lunch or snacks and any alcohol you will have to pay for yourself.

It is likely due to the amount of activities we plan to do that we will be eating out more than greece so expect to pay up to £50 - £75 per day. One online blog states average food costs for Marrakech are around £10 - £15 per person, per day eating street food, and around £40 per person eating at restaurants.

the Activities

A full itinerary will still have to be confirmed, especially as some things can’t be booked this early. However, the plan is to have a fun but chilled holiday. While we will obviously take the opportunity to get some cool photos this isn’t a photoshoot trip.

Some things I would like to do though;

• Exploring the markets

• YSL Tour

• Go Karting / ‘Jet Ski’ style Go Karting

• A hide and seek episode in the villa

• Lots of sunbathing

There is also options to book some other activities but will come with additional cost:
