I don’t often recommend places but for Villa Dinari I had to make an exception. I honestly could not speak more highly of this piece of paradise. It’s a mix of tradition dipped in luxury! Heather, Abdel and the team could not have done more for us ensuring our stay was perfect. A boutique hotel set about 20 minutes outside the Medina. The gardens are lush and the pool is great for a dip to cool off from the sun. The food is stunning you can tell a lot of love and thought is put into every dish. My only reservation to giving it 5 stars and a gushing reviewing is that others find this gem and it gets too booked up so we can’t go back! A huge thank you and we can’t wait to return, what a great find.

Last came here in 2019. 8th visit, can’t get enough of this wonderful place . This time solo as husband was away cycling . Stayed in the Oriental suite which was just perfect for me. As always such a lovely time with Heather and Abdul. 10k out of Marrakech . Easy travelling on my own . Car waiting at the airport. Food was excellent at the Villa. Very healthy and delicious. Lovely meeting other guests . Plenty of sun loungers . Pool nice and warm . Help yourself to drinks at the Honesty Bar . Love the Moroccan mint tea . Cake in the afternoon . Heather and Abdul will sort lifts wherever you want to go. A perfect relaxing few days away. Highly recommend. You would not be disappointed.

Villa Dinari has such a lovely feel about it, anything but Hotel-ly! The stunning gardens filled with exotic fruit trees and the sound of the birds and peacocks are the perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of the souks. Heather and Abdul were always on hand to help and offer advice and the taxi set up in/out of town worked very well, as did our airport collection & drop off. Delicious fresh orange juice for breakfast and yummy homemade houmous & salads for lunch. Thank you we will be back !

Couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. Stunning location, impeccably clean rooms, friendly and welcoming team. Delicious food with a different choice every day. Fabulous hammam and massage. Perfect to relax on sunbeds during the day then hit the medina for the evenings. Already planning our trip back.

We wanted a relaxing place that didn’t feel like another hotel. Abdel, Heather, Naime and the team did a first class job of making us feel at home at their beautiful villa. Highlights for us: - Helpful arrangement of transfers and taxis - beautiful and unique accommodation - Feels like a home more than a hotel. (Some rooms are in the main villa, some are in separate buildings. We stayed in a glamping style room that was spacious, relaxing and very secluded). - Fresh home cooked food (set menu but they will alter for specific dietary needs) - Doesn’t feel busy. Plenty of spaces to sit, read, do some exercises, have a drink before dinner in the evening and play cards - So helpful with tour suggestions and arrangements - not over pricing the food and drink so you don’t feel the need to go out Don’t expect a large pool for swimming lengths - this is more for cooling off and relaxing. Highly recommend if you want quiet, relaxing place and a base from where you can do excursions. Loved Villa Dinari, our hosts, the Moroccan people and the Marrakech experience. We will be back!…

This is the fifth time we have stayed at the Villa Dinari and it is the perfect place to stay if you want to sit back, relax and just breathe. The gardens are beautiful and full of places to sit and relax. The food is tasty and the drinks by the pool every evening a great way to get to know the other guests. Abdul, Heather and the team are wonderful and do everything to make sure that your stay is the best.

I had the most amazing business retreat at Villa Dinari. Heather and Abdul the owners couldn’t do enough for us and their wonderful staff were so friendly. Every meal I had was cooked fresh and was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed all the treatments they had to offer there and my room was beautiful. I can’t wait to go back! Thank you Heather and Abdul for an amazing time.

My Marrakesh sanctuary. Never have I felt so relaxed in my whole life. I loved every minute of my stay here. Heather, Abdul Naima and all the staff go above and beyond to look after you. I honestly didn’t want to leave. I’m also gluten free and they catered for me so so well. I’ve booked to go back next year and can’t wait. Thank you for an amazing stay ❤️

When looking for a suitable place to hold our first ever overseas business retreat for our clients - we came across the stunning Villa Dinari - as someone we know had also held many retreats here. What a fantastic find!!! We are absolutely over the moon to find this beautiful gem of a place. What an oasis of calm - only 20 minutes from the busy centre of Marrakesh. From the moment I contacted Heather the owner to enquire, the friendly and professional service I received was absolutely amazing. Heather couldn't have been more helpful, as we planned our first retreat and got ready to arrive. We were totally blown away when we arrived, what a stunning place. Beautiful gardens and grounds. A stunning pool area, with a lovely outside bar and inside bar and restaurant alongside a cosy lounge complete with fireplace. And yes the temperatures varied from 25c and sunny to 13c and chilly - so we made full use of the indoor and outdoor space! All of the rooms are fabulous. Beautifully decorated, very well equipped (they have thought of everything!) and very comfortable. Ours was lovely and spacious, with a great outside seating area. I saw the interior of all of the rooms as we had hired the whole venue for 4 nights and was equally impressed with each one. A lot of care and thought has gone into the whole Villa Dinari experience, you just couldn't fault it. The service from the whole team was absolutely amazing:- from Heather and Abdul the owners, to the lovely Naima, the kitchen, restaurant and housekeeping and gardening team - everyone was so helpful and friendly. And the icing on the cake was the incredible food! Our specially created menu was totally delicious - healthy, tasty and in abundance! They went out of their way to make sure all dietary needs were cared for and were very flexible with us. Everyone one of our clients loved the food, the service and the accommodation. We've booked it again for next year - we loved it that much! We had great fun in the bar with Heather making lovely cocktails. The honesty bar was such a great idea that everyone felt totally relaxed and at home, in fact - no-one wanted to leave! Abdul and Heather organised guides and transport for a trip into town for our large group, we had a cocktails and canapé reception, we had massages and used their lovely Hammam. Nothing was too much trouble and they really went out of their way to make sure everyone was happy, well looked after and totally taken care of. Heather even went to the pharmacy for me when I was very unwell. A huge thank you to Heather, Abdul, Naima and the whole team for providing such a wonderful experience. We loved every moment. Can't wait to return! Thank you so much, Pam & Adam…

I cannot rate villa dinari highly enough. Heather and Abdel are the most wonderful hosts. They go above and beyond to make you feel part of their extended family at the villa. They take care of everything you need, from organizing seamless airport transfer to recommending local trips. Tours are always arranged by guides Abdel has personally worked with and are therefore very experienced and trustworthy. The food is really fresh and healthy and the staff who work there are very kind and helpful. We stayed in the Shaa suite which was really comfortable and we slept really well. What we loved most however, was the community atmosphere. Due to it's small number of rooms, you get to know the other guests and we ended up going out for several meals with new friends we met on holiday. Abdel will make excellent local recommendations for restaurants and arrange taxis. The pool are is really lovely and the small amount of gym equipment great. I went for a few runs around the roads outside and felt very safe. An amazing stay, thankyou so much Heather and Abdel, we will definitely be back!…
