Three-Bedroom Beachfront Villa

The only room here that will hold 8. A grand foyer opens into open-plan living with a private kitchenette; 3 master bedrooms are arranged for privacy, not proximity, each with a balcony of its own, separate dressing rooms and deep marble soaking tubs. The garden is the rest of it: a 40-square-metre infinity pool, an oversized gazebo with a daybed at the end of the water, shaded seating and dining, a hammock slung between 2 palms, and lawn all the way to the hedge.

Beds come as 3 kings, or as 2 kings and 2 twins — the arrangement that makes 8 a family and not a rota. Up to 7 of the 8 may be adults, which is the widest ceiling here: every room and one-bedroom suite caps at 3. Breakfast in the villa, afternoon delights daily, a private chef on request, garment pressing and a dedicated host come with it. The Tourism Dirham is charged per bedroom, so this villa pays it 3 times a night.
