Project Overview

Virgin Limited Edition has detailed plans for a new Marrakech hotel, which will be its second property in Morocco. The hotel is being developed on a ten-hectare agricultural estate outside Marrakech, in partnership with Sazanes Immobilier. Construction has started, and the property will offer 37 suites. The opening will be phased, with 22 suites planned for early 2027 and the remaining 15 suites expected to be completed in early 2028.

Location

The hotel is situated approximately 25 minutes from the Marrakech city centre. The estate includes citrus orchards, olive groves, and vegetable gardens. The location is intended to provide access to both rural surroundings and the city’s food, craft, and cultural attractions.

Development

The Marrakech hotel will include three restaurants, a chef’s table, and a speakeasy-style bar. Produce for the food offerings will be grown on-site. Facilities will feature a traditional Moroccan hammam, a 40-metre swimming pool, and leisure activities such as tennis, padel, and horse riding. The property will also include an events space for exhibitions and local creatives. Architecture and interiors will use local building techniques and materials, with artworks by Moroccan and African artists displayed throughout the hotel. A residential component is planned, but further details have not been released.

Cultural and Sustainability Focus

The hotel will offer cultural experiences focused on Moroccan traditions, crafts, and daily life. Sustainability is stated as a core part of the project, with buildings designed to integrate into the landscape. The use of farmland as the hotel setting aligns with trends in integrating rural and agricultural environments into hospitality developments.
