15 Unique Villas of Comfort and Luxury

As soon as you pass through the entrance of this hotel, decorated with arcades covered with plants and flowers, you will feel as if you are in a paradise garden surrounded by around fifteen villas, each tastefully and delicately furnished.

The rooms, that are more like independent villas, invite you to immerse yourself in nature. Breathe deeply to inhale its scent and enjoy luxurious and comfortable services...

Cube-shaped units reminiscent of small fishermen's houses by the sea, these villas are unpretentious yet filled with modern details. They feature rounded corners, recessed lights, and roofs with skylights that provide overhead illumination in the shower, all facing the sea. Even the beds are crafted with white cement concrete bases, allowing for easy installation of the mattresses.

The use of wood in the interior architecture is minimal, reserved for some doors and cupboards designed alongside the sofas, creating cozy niches. These elements, crafted from the same materials as the façade, achieve complete harmony; simply adding some cushions creates a perfect relaxation spot by the sea.

To enhance their singular beauty, each unit features its own name, tree, swimming pool, terrace, and pergola.

The design of Orchid is based on three pillars: the color white, the sea view and privacy. The first concept, white architecture, incorporates various tons of white to create a clear and elegant atmosphere, blending beautifully with the sunset. “For buildings, it’s not about dye; it’s always about the material,” explains architect Issam Barhouch. “It’s cement and white concrete textured to provide relief depending on the orientation of the sun.” The floors, swimming pools, ceilings and exterior pergolas, also crafted from wood, are all painted white. “The introduction of natural stone is used for sub-basements, earthworks, and everything related to garden treatments,” confides the architect.

The second foundational concept was the breathtaking sea view. To ensure this view for all the villas, the architect arranged them over two levels: one strip directly facing the sea and the other above the first, each consisting of nearly eight units. This design allows residents to enjoy the view while remaining completely protected from the sun. Even the pergolas are connected to the slabs without pillars, eliminating any elements that might obstruct the view.

The third concept focuses on privacy. The architect designed a plan of small attached and detached blocks to preserve the occupants' privacy.

At Escape by Orchid Hotel, the architect concludes, “Architecture does not need decoration for it to reveal itself, and that was the number one objective of the project.” This philosophy, in our opinion, contributes to the hotel's uniqueness and the beauty of its details.

The services offered are akin to those of 5-star hotels: spacious rooms, high-quality furniture, state-of-the-art bathroom amenities, a fitness center, a spa, and more. An air freshener was specially created for Orchid Hotel, bearing its name. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the surrounding area on one of the many bicycles available at the hotel, conveniently located in front of the reception.

In the restaurant, classic Mediterranean cuisine is reimagined with organic, locally sourced ingredients. Finally, well-being is at the heart of the Orchid experience, featuring two spas and a variety of walking paths that will connect you with nature.
