Al Maaden Villa Hôtel & Spa review: our verdict
At Al Maaden Villa Hôtel & Spa, you don't share a pool: each ocre pisé villa with large glass windows boasts its own basin, garden, and loungers. Inside, living rooms feature red carpets, dining areas, and rooms in sandy tones; at night, the facades light up and reflect in the water. A bar with yellow pendant lights completes the estate.
This is the address for a stay for two or with friends seeking their own space, a birthday organized on-site, or a spa break. Breakfast is generous and served with care, and the hotel offers bike rides in the surroundings. It is not a club hotel: you come for the calm, not for nightlife. Nor is it a flawless palace, as maintenance varies from villa to villa.
The insider tip: book a spa treatment, the house's strong suit. The pitfall: not asking to see your villa upon arrival, as a smell of dampness may linger on the ground floor. The best time slot: an evening by your own pool, when the villa lights up.
