Villa 2 Palmeria Overview
So I stumbled across Villa 2 Palmeria completely by accident – honestly, I was looking for something totally different on the Route de Ouarzazate, but sometimes the best finds happen when you’re not even trying. This place sits in the Résidance Palmeria, which sounds fancy but it’s actually just this quiet residential complex that feels worlds away from the madness of the medina. You know what struck me first? The silence. I mean, you’re still in Marrakech, but somehow all that honking and chaos just… disappears once you’re inside.
The thing about staying out here is that you get this weird best-of-both-worlds situation. The Route de Ouarzazate is one of those main arteries that locals actually use – not just tourists stumbling around with maps – so you’ll see real life happening. There’s this little café about a five-minute walk down where the mint tea is ridiculously good (and cheap), and the guy who runs it started recognizing me after day two. The villa itself has that traditional Moroccan architecture thing going on, but it’s not trying too hard, if that makes sense. The rooms are spacious – actually spacious, not travel-website spacious – and the beds are legitimately comfortable, which honestly surprised me because that’s not always a given even in four-star places here.
What really sold me on this spot was the staff. They’re not hovering, but they’re genuinely helpful when you need them. The manager (I think his name was Hassan?) gave me directions to this pottery workshop that I never would have found otherwise, and he was right about avoiding the main tourist traps in Gueliz. The pool area is where I spent most of my late afternoons – it’s nothing Instagram-worthy, but it’s clean and quiet, and you can actually swim laps if you want to. Parking is straightforward too, which matters more than you’d think when you’re dealing with Marrakech traffic. The only minor thing is that the Wi-Fi gets a bit spotty in the evenings when everyone’s online, but honestly, that forced me to actually relax for once. If you’re the type who needs to be walking distance from Jemaa el-Fnaa, this isn’t your place – you’re looking at a 15-minute taxi ride or a longer walk. But if you want somewhere that feels authentically Moroccan without the tourist circus, and you don’t mind being slightly outside the action, Villa 2 Palmeria is actually perfect. It’s one of those places where you end up staying longer than planned.
