Dar Drama
Marrakech, Morocco
Why we love it
Dar Darma is an 18th century mansion rising in the ancient Moqf district, at the very core of the Marrakech Medina and close to famous Jemaa El-Fna square, the city’s beating heart, a few steps away from the Marrakech Museum and the Medersa Ben Youssef Koranic School. Dar Darma offers complete privacy and very elegant atmosphere.
The mansion was fully restored with its authentic interior carefully preserved: hand-painted wood vaults, precious plaster casts and ancient gates. Six superbly furnished, finely decorated penthouses offer halls with fireplaces, one or two bedrooms and private bathrooms. There are large hallways and open patios, a traditional hammam and terraces with shady lounges. For the heat of the day there’s a swimming pool and
guests enjoy a breathtaking view stretching up to the Koutoubia, the Dar El Bacha Palace and the Atlas mountains. Thanks to a custom-made, 24/7 service provided by the staff, Dar Darma is an ideal place for demanding travellers searching for unique style and high quality service.
Overlooking the green patio, thanks to refined interiors and beautiful combinations of shapes and colours, the Moroccan Lounge, the Fireplace Lounge and the Hall of Arches are ideal places to relax, read or listen to music and enjoy the delicacies of the house. Lunches and dinners are prepared by an expert cook and can be consumed in the privacy of your own suite or on the terraces.

The Palais de L’O was extremely comfortable with absolutely charming and very helpful staff. We had a lovely week, which ticked all the boxes, thank you so much for all your hard work. Also when I got home this afternoon, resting on top of the inevitable pile of bills was a parcel containing a lovely Garden Mint candle, thank you so much, what a lovely and much appreciated surprise.
