25 min. from Marrakech, on the road to Amizmiz, a track passing through the Akrich douar leads to a unique, almost imperceptible place, nestled in the hollow of a 7 hectare estate. Balanced, rigorous, proud of its prospects, Le Palais Paysan, “dream of a change of scenery” stands in front of the atlas.
As contemporary in its lines as rustic in its aesthetics, a place that surprises by its brutal frankness, that fascinates by the evidence of its presence, a radical architecture that is in harmony with the environment.
Two Belgian partners Philippe T. and Horst R., “happy” businessmen, together give life to the Palais Paysan, whose paradoxical name perfectly sums up the concept of the place.
Without being an architect but passionate about art and architecture, Philippe T. imagines, designs and builds an unclassifiable building, as contemporary in its lines as it is rustic in its aestheticism.
He uses traditional and rural techniques and local people to plant a palace that is perfectly integrated into the landscape, a place that surprises by its brutal frankness, which fascinates by the evidence of its presence.
A radical architecture, a part of the environment
It was first necessary to surround the space with traditional dry adobe earth walls, then dig a well to find water and plant a garden where there was nothing, just a hill overlooking an untamed valley and a breathtaking panorama.
With the participation of Ludovic petit – LUP31 – for a singular decoration, mixing here too absolute sobriety, noble and raw materials and bold colours, current creativity and tradition, a personal interpretation of peasant luxury.
Luxury and refinement without a doubt with a resolutely modern comfort as well as an attentive and present service at every moment but without ostentation leaving the beautiful part to the landscape, the space, the nature and the luxury of silence but also to the meeting of the other, to the welcome and the cordiality, a haven of peace.
A peaceful and natural place to spend an unforgettable stay in Marrakech
few km from Marrakech, on the Amizmiz road that leads to the lalla Takerkoust dam, a track passing through the Akrich douar, leads to a unique, almost imperceptible place, nestled in the hollow of a 7 hectare estate. Balanced, rigorous, proud of its silent outlook, the Palais Paysan, a dream of a change of scenery, stands in front of the atlas.

Ecotourism
The Palais Paysan settles in Akrich in an eco-responsible attitude.
It uses local labour for construction and regular maintenance. It primarily hires staff recruited from neighbouring villages, including gardeners, shepherds and chambermaids who are trained on the spot. The maître d’, qualified and experienced chefs are also called upon to pass on their know-how to their teams. In total, all of them now form a human capital of which the Palais Paysan is particularly proud.
The Palais Paysan has financed the construction of a school in the village of Akrich and continues to invest in it, in particular by contributing to the teacher’s salary and school transport costs.
The Palais Paysan is very committed to the environment. Thus adiabatic cooling (without gas but by evaporation of water) of the air has replaced air conditioning, solar panels supply hot water, watering tastes to taste saves natural resources, a 100% organic orchard and an aromatic garden allow the kitchen to consume a large part of its own production…
The philosophy of the project is as much to allow oneself a dream as to make it come true by taking into account the energy of a place and the strengths and powers of each person in order to integrate into a new country and imagine bringing it energies, skills and resources.
As contemporary in its lines as rustic in its aesthetics, a place that surprises by its brutal frankness, that fascinates by the evidence of its presence, a radical architecture that is in harmony with the environment.
Rooms: Your nights deserve a dream
16 rooms, all with gardens and private terraces facing the Atlas. With the participation of Ludovic petit – LUP31 – for a unique decoration, combining absolute sobriety, noble and raw materials, bold colours, contemporary creativity and tradition.
A luxury without ostentation, giving pride of place to the landscape, the space, nature and the privilege of silence, but also to meet others, to welcome and be cordial, a haven of peace.

The swimming pool
A water mirror with a minimal design, facing the disproportionate landscape, the swimming pool has an exceptional dimension of 30 m long. Its translucent glass mosaic of intense grey reflects the light before reflecting it back to the background.

The olive grove
Not so long ago, there was nothing but a dry and virgin land. Today, hundreds of olive trees allow a beautiful harvest of natural olive oil “PPP” Pure Palais Paysan !
The garden and garden of scents
The garden designed “with a line” over 7 hectares is in itself a work of art, the precision on the one hand and its constant maintenance on the other, the subtly delineated areas, the mixture of colours and varieties planted, contribute to the effect of absolute zenitude, from time to time to stop, which allows contemplation and wonder and often makes people say that the Palais Paysan is “a diamond placed in the middle of nowhere”.
Golf, between the blue pool and the green “green”.
Over the years Marrakech has become one of the most beautiful destinations in the world for golf lovers.
Eleven courses of at least 18 holes and two of 9 holes, some of which are
designed by the greatest architects such as Robert Trent Jones, Jack Nicklaus, Tony Jacklin or Colin Montgomerie, are spread out in and around the Ochre City in exceptional areas.
The farmhouse
Further down, towards the wadi, a farm with horses, goats, hens and donkeys, reminds us how much, despite the attention to detail that characterizes the Palais Paysan, it is a question of an immersion in a nature as much vegetable as animal, a humble and sincere encounter with the very land of Morocco and makes us understand why the Palais is a peasant in its noble sense.
