A sleek designer villa that delivers tranquillity, size and modernity K nown as The Red City for its rose-hued buildings, magical Marrakech is a Moroccan paradise that exudes exhilarating exoticism. The millennium-old trading post is rich in history and breathtaking architecture. Set against the bedazzling backdrop of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, it blends its fascinating past and heritage extravaganza with vibrant energy and modern exuberance. It is a place to discover a feast of delights, from the souks, to ancient mosques and palaces, from hidden gardens, to hammams and spas. Take a cocktail on a roof-top terrace, sip some mint tea, dine in luxury and watch the incredible sunsets. Old Marrakech mesmerises. Yet beyond sits a modern city that boasts pulsating districts such as Guéliz and Ville Nouvelle. Marrakech attracts fashionistas and trendy couples in search of luxury spas, chic bars and clubs. A flourishing arts and music scene is also firmly stamping Marrakech on the cultural map. A high quality of life, coupled with a relatively low cost of living, lures an increasing number of foreign property buyers. No restrictions on foreign buyers, plus generous tax concessions - including a low capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and no property tax for the first five years of ownership - add to the desirability of owning a piece of Marrakech real estate. A monumental opportunity for a discerning family, conveniently close to downtown, golf and schools, this substantial modern villa is the epitome of lifestyle excellence, affording extensive accommodation, superior features and a stunning outdoor entertaining oasis. 224 www.theaddressmagazine.com
