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. It is qualified as both zerocarbon and zero-waste. It also uses sustainable water, local and sustainable building materials and will encourage sustainable transport wherever possible. CEO Anwar Harland-Khan explains ‘Having found one of the most truly spectacular locations in Morocco, we set out to create a boutique hotel with private residences that would stand alongside the best destinations in the world. Our aim is to ensure that owners and guests alike are immersed into the raw beauty of the surrounding landscape without having to compromise on the highest standards of luxury. We’re delighted to see our vision becoming a reality and look forward to sharing the very special L’Amandier experience with all who visit’. 222 THE ESSENTIAL COSTA DEL SOL WEBSITE - www.simplymedia-group.com
