About this property

Luxury, fully staffed villa with magnificent views of Atlas mountains. Sleeps 16

El Goute is a large, traditional Moorish style single storey property. The main house has five bedrooms all with air conditioning. Four of these are double/twin bedrooms with Moroccan style en suite bathrooms and there is a room leading off one of the double bedrooms which would sleep two children. There are three one bedroom garden suites which provide additional accommodation.

It also boasts a spacious garden, 18m heated swimming pool, tennis court, petanque court, basketball/hand ball court, hamman, massage room and terrace with outside dining seating area. The living areas are of a good size and include a European sitting room as well as a Moroccan style sitting room. As you enter the property, you will see the large atrium from which all the rooms lead from. The property is set in its own 30,000 m2 (7 ½ acres) plot which provides privacy and tranquility. We have recently planted an olive grove and an orchard. Wifi and tv ensures that you can still connect to the outside world should you wish.

From the moment you arrive at El Goute, our housekeeper will look after you so that you can relax and unwind. All your food and drink shopping will be done for you and your personal chef will prepare all your meals for you. If you want to venture out we can arrange excursions or trips into Marrakech or further afield. We are perfectly located for trips into the Atlas mountains or the desert city of Ouarzzate.

El Goute is ideal for a family holiday or a place to be enjoyed with friends. Whether you want to use the house as a base for exploring Marrakech and the surrounding areas, or simply relax by the pool and enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains we will do our utmost to ensure you have a 5 star experience. If you want to play golf there are two excellent courses nearby - the Amelkis Championship
Golf Course and the Marrakech Royal Golf course.

The villa is in the countryside just off the the Sidi Abdellah Ghiate road about 13 miles south of Marrakech. We are also able to provide airport transfer and a driver for your stay at an additional cost.

The cost of food and drink is not included in the rental fee and will be additional. A pre-stock for your arrival is available. There are also golf clubs and tennis rackets available to borrow.

Amazing House, Fabulous Holiday
We enjoyed a fabulous few days at this beautiful house. The pool area is absolutely beautiful and the meals (that seem to appear from nowhere!) were absolutely delicious. Loved the fact that it is close to the airport and Marrakesh but so tranquil - the best of both worlds. Very helpful owners who seem to have thought of everything and excellent staff on site which meant the trip was a huge success. We will definitely be booking for next year, can't wait to go back.

Paradise
From the moment we landed we were looked after by the staff at El Goute. We were thoroughly spoilt and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The views are incredible, the house extreme comfortable and Fatima's (the cook) cooking was 5 star. We will return. Thank you

Magical
From the moment we arrived, we were utterly spoilt. The house is palatial with all the home comforts needed for a perfect holiday. The home cooked food was absolutely delicious and the all the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. The stunning pool and amazing weather made our stay even more special. I would highly recommend El Goute to anyone who is looking for a holiday/retreat. This is a very special and magical home. Thank you. We look forward to returning next year.

Our little slice of paradise
Words can not explain (and pictures can not do justice to) just how beautiful this villa is. I booked El Goute for myself and 9 friends to celebrate my 40th birthday and everything about it exceeded our expectations. Liaising with Sara beforehand should have given me more of a clue as to how wonderful this experience would be as she was so, so helpful about everything! Endless questions about the catering, where to go in Marrakech, how to organise ourselves etc - all patiently and promptly answered. And then we actually arrived and WOW is this place amazing. The grounds and the villa are stunning. The staff are great - fabulous food and nothign was too much trouble for AB to sort. Don't be put off by the distance from Marrakech centre. Yes it is a little way out but we loved coming back to the tranquility and view of the Atlas mountains after our hectic day in the medina. So book it now - I promise you that you won't regret it. Thank you Sara - we will be back! xxx

Incredible family holiday
We visited El Goute in October half term 2018, and can not recommend it more highly. From the very first contact we had with Sara (the owner), nothing was too much trouble. Our party included 3 families with 10 children, and we were beautifully looked after. El Goute is a magical place, with so much to do for adults and children alike. We had a fully catered stay, with everything from Tagines to chicken nuggets - all we had to do was ask! Our host AB, who looks after guests during their stay, also organised a traditional BBQ one night, complete with belly dancers and drummers, which was a fantastic memory for all. We relaxed at the villa taking advantage of all it has to offer - large swimming pool, volleyball court, tennis court, boules area, haman, and epic views of the mountains. In addition, Marrakesh was only a half hour minibus away, and was a chance for the children to experience a different culture under an expert guide - again organised by AB. In short, El Goute ticks all boxes - luxury accommodation in this beautiful country, welcoming adults and children alike. We had a relaxing, interesting, fun filled time, and I cannot recommend it more highly. It is a fantastic ‘villa holiday’ for those wishing to stay put and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, but for those looking for adventure, it is easily found on your doorstep and you will not be disappointed. Thank you to the whole El Goute team, we will be back!

Outstanding Venue, Beautiful Oasis not to be miss
Don't miss out on this one! (if I could give this 6 stars I would) We booked this villa to run out yearly Yoga and fitness retreats @morocyogafit to see our pictures of the villa grounds food and rooms, you won't be disappointed. From the outset transfers all arrange, meal suggestions prior to arrival, some of the best food we have tried in Morrocco prepared by the catering team. The rooms are authentic, Spa & Hammam are excellent, we booked the local massages and scrubs every day all arranged by AB the villa manager, who provides an excellent service. The villa grounds are immense with lots of room to use for sports and relaxation. We will be using this location for further retreats. we look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Fantastic stay in the lap of casual luxury
Me and 4 other gals had a brilliant 4 day stay at El Goute. AB couldn't have been more helpful and the staff were all fantastic. Trips into the Medina, a massage and scrub in the hamman, delicious food, swimming, tennis, table tennis...we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you everyone at El Goute. We'll come again!

A truly idyllic Moroccan experience
We had a fantastic few days staying in this villa. Luxurious and beautifully designed, it is set in its own 7-acre garden. It provides an opportunity for total relaxation with its many facilities and exquisite views of the Atlas mountains, but still in easy reach of the bustling city centre of Marrakech. The staff are friendly, accommodating, efficient and the food is excellent. I would highly recommend this as a truly Moroccan oasis of calm and tranquility.

Stunning, relaxed, delicious
El Goute has endless possibilities. Perfect place for 2 or even 3 families the to enjoy a holiday together. Equally great for a tribal gathering, party or yoga retreat. The villa is really well laid out. Spacious and comfortable. The food is delicious. Location is about 30 minutes from Marrakech which is perfect so you can dip your toe in the cultural madness of Marrakech and then retreat to breathe in the open expanse of the villa and stare at the snow capped mountains. It’s also close to the hills. So there are endless outings to be enjoyed. AB the house keeper will organise everything during your stay. Food, cars, activities, massages, anything. El Goute is a winner.

Fabulous week in El Goute
We could not have enjoyed our week more! This is a superb villa, with charming friendly staff who looked after us beautifully. Lots to see and do within an easy proximity but we were hard pressed to leave the beautiful pool and relaxing environment. Highly recommended.

wonderful!
An absolute gem!! We loved every minute of our stay at El Goute. The location is fabulous being out of Marrakech but within easy reach to pop in for a shop! The villa is beautiful in design, layout and space. Perfectly set up for several families to share as bedrooms all have their own bathrooms and area within the house. The swimming pool deserves a mention as it is fabulous, huge!! AB and the team were incredible and looked after us so well all week. Delicious food, especially the amazing pancakes at breakfast. AB also organised a few outings for us to explore the local area which I highly recommend. All in all, a fantastic, relaxing and spoiling week. I would not hesitate to recommend El Goute, we will definitely be returning!

PHENOMENAL
This was an absolutely wonderful holiday. The weather was beautiful and the villa was superb. A beautiful building with huge bedrooms and comfortable beds and air conditioning. AB the housekeeper tended to our every need without being overbearing and the service from the cooks and maids was first class. The food was delicious. I would 100 per cent come again and I recommend it whole heartedly to anyone thinking about visiting.

Relaxed Luxury in Morocco
I cannot recommend this place enough. We came to stay at El Goute with a group of 14 friends to celebrate my 40th Birthday. The property is beautiful - space, privacy and beauty. AB and the team make everything you need, whether delicious food, trips to the medina, a band, an on-site hammam, car transfers, or anything else you need, simple and enjoyable. The stocking service (food and drink) is a brilliant idea, which means that El Goute is pre-stocked with whatever you desire when you arrive - a must. The property is immaculate and the pool, pool house and grounds are an oasis from the heat and frenetic pace of the city. Whatever you do, don't miss the breakfast of Berber pancakes (a cross between a pikelet and a crumpet) with what we called 'liquid gold', a pot of melted butter and honey. Absolutely delicious! The owner was brilliant too - easily accessible, friendly and knowledgeable. We loved it so much we extended our stay. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Watson

Host profile image
We have been going on holiday to Morocco for the last eight years and immediately fell in love with the country . From the moment you get off the plane you are transported to a different world, the sounds, the smells, the light, the people simply lift the spirit. We wanted to find a property of our own that could provide a beautiful oasis of calm and tranquility but yet be close enough to the vibrant city of Marrakech which we have come to consider our second home.

Having three children of our own we know that a self catering holiday can sometimes be a busman's holiday so we wanted to offer a service where all your catering needs are taken care of.

Why they chose this property

El Goute is ideal for a family holiday or a place to be enjoyed with friends. Whether you want to use the house as a base for exploring Marrakech and the surrounding areas, or simply relax by the pool and enjoy the magnificent views of the mountains we will do our utmost to ensure you have a 5 star experience. If you want to play golf there are two excellent courses nearby.

The villa can easily accomodate 8 adults and 2 children in total privacy. We can accept smaller parties at a reduced rate as well as for a shorter period. (3 day minimum)

What makes this property unique

You never tire of the majestic view of the Atlas mountains at El Goute. Sitting on the terrace you are transported to another world which is the perfect antidote for escaping our frenetic life.
