Rock the Villa Kasbah at L’Amandier

Boutique Moroccan development L’Amandier is delighted to announce that its final phase of villas is now available for sale in the year that will also see the opening of its very own 5 star hotel.

Located atop a striking plateau in the heart of the Ouirgane Valley, the 12 acre L’Amandier estate occupies a coveted location with uninterrupted 360 degree views over the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and surrounding National Park.

The final residences that have just been released are located in a prime position amidst the secluded landscaped gardens and each feature a plunge pool, an internal courtyard, a private garden and a large roof terrace. They are also just a stone’s throw from the hotel which will be opening towards the end of the year and whose amenities, including an infinity pool, restaurant, concierge, spa and hammam will be available for owners to use at their leisure.

In total just fourteen villas built on only 6% of the land mass make up this special community, all of which are fully built. Designed by London-based architect Nick Gowing, the resort has established a new architectural vernacular marrying elegant modern living with traditional Moroccan heritage. The villas are built and finished to a standard rarely seen in the country and offer a unique investment proposition as the only resort-based self-contained villas in the area. They therefore have the ability to command a considerable rental yield of between 5 and 6%. Moreover with the opening of the boutique hotel, which will put the destination at the forefront of discerning travel connoisseurs’ itineraries the world over, capital growth is expected to reach 20 - 25% on completion of the resort in October this year.

The villas are set amidst citrus groves, almond trees and bougainvillea and are supremely private dwellings that have been styled to ensure that the beauty of the surrounding landscape is incorporated into the living areas at every possible opportunity. Owners are invited to indulge in the tranquillity of their surroundings knowing that any additional requirements can be organised by the L’Amandier team on request from grocery deliveries to private gardening.

Investors in the properties sold to date are predominantly British with a couple of French and Australian investors, all of whom have been attracted by the ‘truly idyllic setting, the people, the plateau, the beautiful mountain backdrop, the peace, quiet, privacy and the almost guaranteed year round sunshine’.

The Ouirgane Valley itself remains a relatively undiscovered haven for lovers of dramatic landscapes and adventure with an appreciation of the finest things in life. Beyond the region’s remarkable natural beauty and spell-binding landscapes which are just an hour from Marrakech, it offers to visitors a myriad of activities including fishing, swimming, hiking, kayaking, jet skiing, skiing, horse riding, mountain biking, bird watching and trekking. What is more, Sir Richard Branson’s illustrious Kasbah Tamadot Hotel is just a short drive from the L’Amandier site.

Developed by MHK International Ltd, which is run by brothers Anwar and Riaz Harland-Khan, L’Amandier is an environmentally sensitive project that has remained sympathetic to its surrounding environs. L'Amandier strives to minimise waste and lessen water usage in the hotel by reducing usage, reusing and recycling wherever possible. Local and sustainable building materials have been used during the construction phase. Owners and guests are encouraged to utilise low carbon and sustainable transport solutions.
