Set in the privacy of nearly four hectares of land and only 5 minutes drive from the Royal Golf Club of Marrakech, BALIA, is a development of nine independent villas all with private pools which were built in 2002 and provide one of the best value for money deals in Marrakech.
There is a 'communal' tennis court, and a communal pool of 800m2 on the Domaine, a bar open from April to October, as well as four wheel drive vehicles (FREE OF CHARGE for under 100 kms per day). Some of the villas have heated pools and all villas come with the services of a maid/cook and include transfers to and from the airport. All houses have air-conditioning, heating, internet access.

Each villa, like villa Addika, situated on the Domaine, which goes by the name of « Le Jardin des Oliviers », an ancient but re-plantedolive grove, on the old road to Ouarzazate is of a high standard. The Domaine is private (there are 24 houses all together on the Domaine), built by a French-Moroccan architect, entirely gated and has 24 hour security and is only a 5 minute drive from either the Royal Golf Club or the Amelkis Golf Club, or in fact from the Palmeraie Golf Club.
BALIA is only 9 kms from the center of town and offers tranquility, peace, quiet, views of the Atlas, and verdant gardens. The old road to Ourzazate is like an oasis amidst the region's arid landscape, so you can enjoy the calm and relaxing surroundings and still be within 15 minutes of the Souks in the Medina.
Ground Floor
Through the front door there is a hallway which leads into a big open plan living room and dining room. The living room is furnished with comfort retaining the unmistakeable Moroccan style - traditional craftsmen were employed using authentic materials like dark wood and tiles to make this a harmonious setting.
There is a large kitchen, however, the maid is very happy to attend to your needs, and usually does all the cooking.
First Floor
21 steps go up to the landing where we find 2 bedrooms both with double bed, a terrace, and an en suite bathrooms with a wash basin, a toilet, and a bath with a shower over it.
Two other bedrooms have 2 singles, a communicating bathroom, but no terrace.
There is another small terrace off the landing.
There is a large car park where the four wheel drive vehicles are part of the rental, excluding petrol. This service is free (less than 100 km/per day) but does not include fuel and insurance (damage excess in case of accident).

The pool is not fenced in and does not have an alarm so children must be surveyed at all times. Some villas on the Domaine have heated pools (supplement). The villas do have vis a vis on to the neighbouring villas, although some are more private than others.

Main attractions
Appx 10 minutes drive from 3 of Marrakech's golf courses: golf Amelkis, the Royal, and the Palmeraie Golf.
The Koutoubia mosque, a Marrakech landmark, surrounded by sunstruck rose gardens and distinguished by a 230ft, pink sandstone tower.
The Place Jemaa el-Fna, the heart of the medina and the liveliest, most un-reconstituted UNESCO World Heritage Site ever seen.
Incomparably seductive Souks Berber carpets, spices, silver, Berber jewellery.
Ben Youssef Medersa, one of the Muslim world's great educational centres.
The recently restored, domed Qubba, a Medieval water station, and the Museum of Marrakech, which puts contemporary art in the frame of a late 19th century Moroccan palace.
South of the Place Jemaa el-Fna (only appx 15 minutes drive), there are palaces, gardens, and museums, such as Dar Si Said, dedicated to the arts and folk crafts of Morocco.
On twisting alleyways nearby is Dar Tiskiwin, an elegant townhouse, open to the public as a museum and full of Moroccan and sub-Saharan wonders collected by Bert Flint, a Dutch expatriate.
The Place Jemaa el-Fna - Marrakech is always a little bit of everything: djellabas and babouches, bright colours, energy, heat. Once you've wandered around the stalls, gorged on all the mouthwatering food and watched everything on the square, it's time to retreat to one of the many cafes and watch the goings-on from a distance. In terms of views, though not of food, the best are the rooftop cafes. From here you can see the entire square of Jamaa el Fna: the smoky and brightly lit food stalls are the centre, but circles of locals form all around the square watching storytellers and actors, and around the edges are the juice stalls selling fresh orange juice. On the northern side are the souks - full of anything you could possibly want to buy, and lots of things you definitely don't! There are tourists aplenty in Jemaa el-Fna and it's tempting to dismiss it all as a commercial show, but the stories are all in Arabic and Berber and plenty of locals come here. The monkeys, snake charmers and fortune tellers seem purely for the benefit of tourists though and you might find one evening here is enough - although most vistors come back night after night.
WHERE TO EAT
Dar Moha, 81 Dar el Bacha, 38-64-00, set in a garden around a pool, and Dar Zellij, 1 Kaasour Sidi Ben Slimane, 38-26-27, in a fastidiously renovated 17th century mansion with carved cedar ceilings and hand-cut zellij tile, specialise in fine, traditional Moroccan fare. Multi-course dinners run €25-€30, and both restaurants have wine lists.
Casa Lalla, Rue Riad Zitoune Lakdime, 16 Derb Jamaa, 42-97-57, offers a set-price menu created by Michelin-starred British chef Richard Neat. There is one sitting at 8 p.m., and only 14 people are served each night, so the required reservations are hard to come by. The price per person is about €25, and diners may bring in their own wine.
Le Pavillon, 47 Derb Zaouia, 38-70-40, and Le Foundouk, 55 El Moukef Souk Hal Fassi Kat Bennahid, 37-81-90, serve French food and wine. Both are in the heart of the medina. Dinner about €25.
Bo-Zin, Route de l'Ourika, 38-80-12, is a 15-minute drive south of town, with a beautiful cactus garden for al fresco dining. The cuisine is chiefly Thai and there is a full bar. The price for a three-course dinner is €25-€35, not including drinks.
