Dar Ayniwen, MOROCCO

Description: Dar Ayniwen

Dar Ayniwen is a family house with a warm welcome which was converted to a small luxury hotel in 2003. Each piece of furniture, each picture has a story to tell, tales of distant travels and chance encounters.

All guest rooms face south and open onto to the garden and pool. The upper rooms offer panoramic views of the grounds and the Atlas Mountains. The extraordinary bathrooms have fittings from the 1930's and use marble and tadellakt (polished plaster) in their décor.

The house stands on 5 acres in the heart of the Palmeraie with Palm trees, ancient olive trees and scented plants together with an Andalusian lily pond, summerhouse and fountains. Paradise, a true haven of peace and beauty.

All rooms are sumptuous and decorated with exotic opulence, oriental prints, silken cushions and marquetry tables, as well as furnishings gathered from antique markets around the world.

Galaxy Suite: This room shares a terrace with Mucha Suite and has another private terrace which offers an incredible view of the sky and the stars, hence the name Galaxy. It also offers views of the pool and garden. It has a large living room with a view of the entrance riad and its fountain.

This room is the more exclusive of the 2 with a view of the fountain and balinean furniture to add to the magic. However Tiwalline II has a superb bathroom with its own hamman-like bath (steam machine).
Guests of the Tiwalline rooms can take their meals privately on the white marble veranda if they wish.
