ATMOSPHERE
At Villa Aaron, there’s a rare kind of charm... The kind that welcomes you with the ease and warmth of home.
Interior designer Michèle-Rose shaped each space with thoughtful care, drawing inspiration from the house’s original character to reveal its quiet beauty. In doing so, she paid homage to the Amzallagh family, the villa’s former owners. Vintage tiles, hand-picked furniture, and carefully chosen tableware all contribute to an atmosphere that feels both warm and familiar.
The space carries the spirit of clinking glasses, shared memories, and lingering, simple pleasures. It holds the energy of joyful homes, where conversations flow and time gently stretches.
Everything here unfolds with grace. The story continues, shaped by all who pass through.
Our Kitchen
At Villa Aaron the food comes from family cooking: Sunday lunches, the kind of dishes you grew up with. Chef Luisma Naranjo builds on that with a mix of Mediterranean and Moroccan flavors, and cooks it with real care.
The menu changes with the seasons and is made to share. Think slow-cooked mechoui cannelloni, ravioli with chakchouka, or lightly spiced pastrami.
The bar is the center of the house. It's where people gather over a signature cocktail, a good glass of wine, or just to sit with friends. The mood is warm and easy, as good for a long talk as for a quick drink. Every cocktail is made properly, some our own creations, some classics done our way.
The bar isn't just somewhere you wait for a table. It's part of the evening.
THE VILLA
Villa Aaron has something of an old family home about it. You feel it in the quiet conversations, the small thoughtful touches, the sense that there's no reason to rush. Not much has been changed over the years, and that's exactly the charm. Step inside and it still feels like the house it once was, warm and lived-in, with its own stories in the walls.
The kitchen and the bar carry that same spirit. The food is built on family recipes, generous and made to share; the cocktails are mixed with care and a touch of invention. Sit down at the table or pull up a stool at the bar, and the evening tends to unfold on its own, one dish, one drink, one conversation at a time.
"The perfect place for
any occasion"
Villa Aaron is a unique, authentic sincere, and vibrant place. Enjoying a meal or a drink here means savoring a special moment in a warm and thoughtful atmosphere, guided by the simple joy of being together. Let yourself be carried away : choose your table and add your own chapter to the story.
The house is waiting for you, with a smile, a touch of grace, and that little bit of soul that makes all the difference.

"A must visit restaurant for those travellers staying in Marrakesh just incredible"
“Amazing restaurant with a very cool vibe and extraordinary decor. Staff were very welcoming and attentive and the 3 piece jazz musicians were playing great music enhancing the experience so much. Food was one of the best meals we had during our stay in Marrakesh i would highly recommend this restaurant. Alcohol is served here and there were a number of guests also sat at the very gorgeous cocktail bar having drinks aside from the many having dinner. This place is a WOW for anyone visiting Marrakesh”

"the whole package"
“There are some restaurants which receive a lot of attention for their aesthetics but delivers little else. Villa Aaron has the whole package, in my view. The atmosphere is serene, beautiful and very definitely aesthetically pleasing. The menu doesn’t provide a vast choice, but the choice is an interesting range and having been a couple of times, always good. The staff are very attentive and friendly. A very enjoyable time indeed! I surprised them with what I described my dog to be medium sized and they perceived to be big; they diplomatically accommodated us at a central yet convenient spot :) oh, premiered a live band who were setting up and started session shortly before we left and they were great. I totally recommend a visit and will be returning !”

"THE NICEST STAFF SERVING THE BEST FOOD"
“Slightly stumbled across this gem of a restaurant by chance but was so glad I did. Probably the best meal I had during my few days here in Marrakech.
Great service, absolutely delicious food and the most beautiful oasis of calm in the midst of all the chaos.”
