Modern Loft 10 min to City Center – Private Pool

Modern Loft 10 min to City Center – Private Pool Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to this place in Sidi Youssef ben Ali, I wasn’t expecting much. The neighborhood’s pretty residential, you know? But honestly, that turned out to be one of the best things about it. You’re tucked away from all the tourist chaos, but still just a quick 10-minute taxi ride (or Careem if you’ve got the app) straight into the heart of Marrakech.

The loft itself is actually really well done – and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s got that modern vibe without feeling cold or sterile, which can be tricky to pull off in Morocco where you’re surrounded by all this incredible traditional architecture. The private pool is legit the star of the show here. I spent way too many mornings just floating around with my coffee, watching the Atlas Mountains peek through the morning haze. The water’s heated, which honestly saved my vacation because March evenings can still get pretty chilly. There’s this covered area by the pool too, so you can hang out even when the afternoon sun gets a bit intense – and trust me, it does.

What really impressed me was how quiet it stays, even though you’re not in the middle of nowhere. The hosts (I think they live nearby?) were super responsive when I had questions about getting around. They actually gave me this insider tip about taking the local bus route 19 instead of always doing taxis – saved me a ton of money and felt more authentic. The kitchen’s fully equipped if you want to cook, which I ended up doing a few times after hitting the local markets. Pro tip: there’s a Carrefour about 5 minutes away if you need basics, but honestly, the small shops in the neighborhood have better produce and the owners are incredibly friendly once you make an effort with a few Arabic phrases.

The only minor thing – and this is really minor – is that the WiFi can get a bit spotty in the evenings when everyone’s online, but it’s totally fine for checking emails and planning your next day. The beds are comfortable (I’m picky about this), and there’s actually decent water pressure in the shower, which isn’t always a given. Oh, and parking’s not an issue if you rent a car, though I’d honestly recommend just using taxis and buses unless you’re planning day trips to the countryside.

You know what really sold me on this place? It felt like staying in Marrakech rather than just visiting it. In the mornings, you hear the call to prayer mixing with kids playing in the streets, and by evening, there’s this amazing smell of tagines cooking that drifts over from the neighboring houses. It’s authentic without being uncomfortable, if that makes sense. Perfect for people who want to experience the real city but still have their own space to retreat to – especially that pool when the medina gets overwhelming.
