We had our wedding at Fawakay Villas in the spring of 2023 and it was an absolute dream. We had never seen it in person before coming, but with so many positive reviews of other weddings at the property, we felt totally safe and in great hands. Fawakay had multiple video calls with us during the planning process and were dedicated to making our wedding an event to remember!||When we finally arrived at the venue for the weekend, we were so thrilled. It was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. "Rustic chic" is the perfect word for it. Fawakay is both a country villa and a modern haven. We loved its authentic Moroccan touches and its dedication to environmental sustainability. And all its animals! Heaven.||We rented out the entire property so our close family and friends were able to stay at the villa with us for the weekend, and they were similarly blown away. Breakfast each morning at our villas was so delicious and peaceful. The pool area was chic and serene. And the food is INCREDIBLE. So fresh, so satisfying. Everyone who works here is so kind and so accommodating. And it was so easy for them to pop into Marrakech to sight-see whenever they wanted. ||Dawn and Francis helped us put together an amazing event. We had 80 people flying from all over the globe, and they made sure to organize transportation for everyone no matter where they were staying in Marrakech. They put together beautiful decorations, prepared amazing cocktails, and were invaluable in recommending what would make the best party! They know weddings. And ours was everything we dreamed it would be.||We absolutely will return in the future to stay, eat those amazing tagines or tomato and avocado wraps, and nap by the pool. It's a hidden gem in Marrakech, that we would highly recommend to anyone, to stay, or...
Read moreI spent a magical six days here in June and will never forget just how gorgeous and relaxing this haven is. I liked that it was tucked away from the city but close enough for a trip. I was fortunate to be in a group of 15, so we had the whole place to ourselves. Everything from the beautifully designed accommodations, super comfortable beds, lovely shower, gels, and mud scrubs, gorgeous surroundings with every nook and cranny, carefully designed, beautiful gathering spaces for our group to learn and laugh, delightful bar, on-site spa to the healthy, fresh and delicious food was exquisite. Norman and Daisy (the donkeys) and the 3 adorable pups gave us plenty of love and giggles. The villa’s team are all courteous, hardworking and lovely. Dawn and Francis are exceptional hosts, super accommodating and great to chat with. They even helped organise a surprise birthday cake for one of our group. There is an on-site gift store if you don’t want to deal with the souk and the prices are great. It was far better than I could have ever hoped for or even imagined. A part of me doesn’t want to let too many others know...
Read moreWhat an AMAZING place, an oasis of peace and tranquility set in beautiful gardens. The two swimming pools were very welcome in the heat and dining alfresco made all the more comfortable by being in the shade. There were lots of places on the site to find shade with others or to be in quiet solitude. ||The villas are clean, well-appointed and comfortable, the food was brilliant, and the ambiance of the whole place was very special but what made it even more wonderful was the welcome and the way Dawn, Francis and their team looked after us, nothing was too much trouble. They made us all feel like greatly welcomed friends. ||Everything was done to make life easy, airport transfers, Taxis and guides were organized by Dawn when we wanted to go to the Palace, the Souk and the mountains and spa treatments were available on-site and I thoroughly enjoyed every experience. ||The trip was a great antidote to my very busy life. I cannot recommend Fawakay Villas highly enough.||Loved the rescued donkeys - Norman was...
