Room Raphia

Raphia is one of the Villa’s superior rooms. It gets its name from the plant, the braided fibers of which are used to ornate lighting fixtures and mirrors. With its small lounge area and its private terrace protected from the wind, it is ideal for a couple or a family of 3.

The anecdote… Craftsmen have learnt the art of braiding the raffia over generations, although this plant is originally from Madagascar. To this day, numerous international designers come to Essaouira to benefit from this local know-how.
