Soak Up the Sun at This Spectacular Moroccan Retreat

Composed of cubic modules, a minimalist Moroccan villa encourages relaxation while referencing local building traditions.

Designed by the creative French duo behind Studio KO, this serene five-bedroom retreat is located in the small town of Tagadert. 

Featuring elegant minimalist interiors, a 98-foot-long infinity pool, and breathtaking views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, there is no doubt Villa K will make an unforgettable getaway.

The villa is composed of earthen building materials that echo both the arid landscape and the traditional structures of the surrounding local villages.
