Dar Beida

Press Reviews

Lonely Planet
"If you read the Sunday supplements you'll know that Dar Beida is big news. It's conquered pretty much every style magazine and there's no doubt its crazy, curvaceous, cool interior has the 'wow' factor. With four bedrooms and only two bathrooms however, it's only available for full house rental.

Owners Emma and Graham, designers with an eye for something different, have swept away the usual Moroccan panoply of colour and clutter and opted for retro. Think lurid pop-art: mushroom lamps, moulded plastic chairs, leather poufs, and what are those cow-horn chairs in the terrace room? Depending on your taste you'll either love it or hate it. For a group of friends it's the ultimate party house with a cook and driver on hand. A beer in the bhou (tented sitting area) on the terrace or a lazy afternoon lolling in the hammock after a long day at the beach - what more could you want?"

The Guardian Travel, 30 September 2006
"Not built specifically for surfers - it's a 10 minute walk to the beach - but the 60's vibe at Dar Beida, with its retro furniture and animal skins, is a fitting base for a surf holiday."

The Mail on Sunday, August 2006
"Outside is the hectic bustle and vivid colour of the medina and the souk; inside, a peaceful haven within ancient stone walls. The whiteness inside Dar Beida offers a dramatic backdrop to Emma and Graham's wonderful, eclectic collection of traditional furniture, carpets and artworks which they mix together with European 20th-century classic pieces."
