Es Saadi Gardens and Resort

From Architectural Digest, August 2009:

Jean Bauchet’s Es Saadi hotel, completed in 1966 in the heart of Marrakech, was quickly adopted by jet-setters and celebrities. Recently, the Bauchet-Bouhlal family added 10 luxury villas to the property, each one showcasing a unique cultural and architectural style. [Below] is the private pool of the lush Persian Villa, located in the middle of Es Saadi’s gardens. The villa’s sky-blue walls are covered in tadelakt, traditional Moroccan plaster, which reflects light in such a way that the luminosity seems to come from within the walls themselves. (August 2009)
