Location: Marrakech, Morocco

5 bedrooms, sleeps 10.

Price: From €1,210 EUR per night

Villa 178 is a contemporary five-bedroom compound inside the Amelkis Golf Resort, twenty-five minutes from the Marrakech Medina. The architecture puts modern lines on Moroccan warmth: terracotta facades, arched doorways, floor-to-ceiling glass and a double-height living room at the center of it. What sets this one apart is the count of rooms that are not bedrooms. A cinema with tiered seating, a fitness room with free weights and machines, a massage room and a wellness area, plus a jacuzzi and a heated pool in two thousand square meters of manicured grounds. Five bedrooms are served by six bathrooms, all en-suite with marble finishes and freestanding tubs, and the ground-floor rooms open directly onto the garden. House staff, a housekeeper and round-the-clock security are included. | Location: Marrakech, Morocco | Bedrooms: 5 | Guests: 10 | Price: From €1,210 EUR per night | Top Amenities: Private Pool, Fitness Room, Jacuzzi | Best For: Families with children, Golf trips, Wellness-focused groups

Villa 178 is built for groups who want the day to work without leaving the gate. The architecture reads contemporary, terracotta facades with arched doorways, floor-to-ceiling glass and double-height ceilings over the main living room, and the finishes are careful instead of flashy. Five bedrooms sit across two thousand square meters of compound, each with its own bathroom and six bathrooms in total. Past the bedrooms there is a cinema room with tiered seating, a fitness room fitted with free weights and machines, a massage room and a wellness area, which is what makes this house work in August and in January alike.

Amelkis southern edge

You arrive through the guarded gates of the Amelkis Golf Resort and follow a palm-lined road past the golf club and its olive groves. The compound sits on the southern edge of the resort, backed by fairway views with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon behind them. Marrakech center is twelve kilometers and twenty-five minutes by car, though the quiet here makes it feel further out. Menara airport is twenty minutes. Mornings smell like orange blossom and cut grass, and the nearest restaurant and supermarket are six and ten minutes away. Guarded gates at the entrance to the Amelkis resort. Jemaa el-Fna and the Medina twenty-five minutes by car. Marrakech Menara airport twenty minutes, ten kilometers. Amelkis Golf Club a two minute drive. Majorelle Garden twenty-two minutes out. Al Maaden restaurant six minutes away. Marjane supermarket ten minutes on the Route de Ouarzazate

Cinema, gym, marble baths

The living room runs double height, which gives the ground floor its scale, and the glass lines it with garden on two sides. Each bedroom has been given its own character: wood-paneled headboards, marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs, and direct garden access from the rooms on the ground floor. A bunk room adds flexibility for families traveling with children. The facilities are the real differentiator: a cinema room with tiered seating, a fitness room with free weights and machines, and a dedicated massage room, so the house covers a wet day, a heatwave and a rest day without anyone getting in a car. Five bedrooms, all en-suite. Six full bathrooms, one more than the bedroom count. Marble bathrooms with freestanding tubs. Double-height main living room. Cinema room with tiered seating. Fitness room with free weights and machines. Massage room and wellness area inside the house

Heated pool and pergola

The pool is heated, which quietly changes which months this house is worth booking, and teak loungers line it on manicured lawn. A jacuzzi sits alongside. The covered dining pergola seats ten, matching the full capacity of the villa, so the group never has to split for a meal or move indoors when the sun is high. The terrace looks over golf course frontage with the Atlas Mountains behind, and the ground-floor bedrooms open straight onto the garden, a detail families with small children tend to notice first.

Golf, spa, film nights

Amelkis Golf Club is a two minute drive and runs thirty-six holes designed by Cabell Robinson, with tee times and cart rentals arranged in advance through our concierge team. Back at the compound the day has structure without needing a plan: the gym before it gets hot, the heated pool through the middle of the day, the massage room in the afternoon, the cinema after dinner. The Medina and the Majorelle Garden are twenty-two to twenty-five minutes when the group wants the city. In-villa spa treatments and a private chef can both be booked ahead.

Housekeeper, cook, security

The roles here are itemised, which is not true of every house in this cluster. A housekeeper is included, a cook is available on request, and security covers the resort around the clock. Two things sit outside that and carry an additional fee: a private chef, and in-villa spa treatments, both booked in advance through our concierge team rather than arranged on the day. Check-in is three in the afternoon with staff meeting the car, and early arrival is usually workable on a morning landing. Transfers wait at arrivals, twenty minutes out.
