Akasha Mountain Retreat

When talking about Akasha, you have to start with the mountain  . . .
This beautiful Moroccan styled retreat sits high up and  close to the southern most point of Africa and the magnificence of its location cannot go unmentioned!

Owners Elana and Chris have created and built Akasha into a peaceful little bit of luxury on this mountain top. They have incorporated their love of Moroccan design and craft into every aspect, and these design elements from way up north combine perfectly with a Southern African aesthetic.

The palette and tones are muted and natural, complimenting the view rather than distracting from it.

 A carefully constructed combination of vistas, and decorative details.

Original old doors from morocco, logs from the farm, sculptural candelabra all work together
to form a harmonious “cape-maroc” mood board.

It’s the details that always distract me in a place like this!

tea-in-akasha anyone?

Silver tea trays and containers add a reflective note to the palette

The bedrooms are designed to maximise the views,
while the sequins on the handira reflect the morning sunshine.

And just because you are, quite literally, at the end of a well beaten track, doesn’t mean that all your creature comforts won’t be taken care of.

There are even plans {I hear} of a spa and some interesting Earth Zen products –
so time for a massage and a little detox before sunset and a glass of red?

Doors open onto secret spaces and the barriers between inside and outside melt away.

 Carefully sourced items from Moroccan souks have found a new home and add a brush of colour to the palette.

 

And finally again  . . . that view

My visit was a fleeting one – but I do plan to go back!

To find out more about staying at Akasha Mountain Retreat you can find them on Facebook
or on their website: http://www.akasharetreat.co.za/

Tamegroute is both a place and a process - the alchemy from the earth in this small village on the edge of the Sahara produces the distinctive Tamegroute pottery - on the blog today and where to find it online via @helplocalwithlove who are providing an online platform for artisans who have been cut off from the tourist market this past year - link in bio  #tamegroute #handmade #ethicalshopping #madeinmorocco

earlier this week I posted about this piece I wrote for The National - I have indulged myself this morning  by posting the article on my blog without the cuts and edits...not a huge difference but it is all in the details isn't it?? It just flows a little smoother ...(link in bio)

Step down from the terrace into the cool leafy shade of the central courtyard - there is a wonderful flow of space in this riad with all the downstairs let being space opening up to the courtyard (DM for more information) #holidayinmorocco #lifeinthemedina #Assilah #asilah #tanger #tangier #teaintanger #moroccanproperty #interiorinspirations #urbanjungle

Fitting perfectly into this week's monochrome mood
Fitting perfectly into this week's monochrome mood is one of my favourite houses in the medina of Assilah - Dar Ka has been sympathetically renovated in the tradition of a riad but also has a very clean contemporary feel about it - this roof terrace is the perfect spot for a cold glass of wine and a sunset - AND a little bird has told me it's on the market 💙SO if you are looking for a place to retreat to and call your own in the wonderful seaside Medina of Assilah message me for more info.

This beautiful bed linen by @tweem.co  is also part of my Monochromatic Morocco story on the blog this week - taking inspiration from traditional embroidery they have transformed it into a luxury range of linen.

Carrying on with the monochromatic train of though
Carrying on with the monochromatic train of thought...I had to include some images of interiors by fashion designer Marlene Birger who - as far as I am concerned - has perfected the layered Moroccan inspired monochrome interior. Her interiors manage to be full of detail yet the pared down palette makes it restful, but never dull!!! Layers of textiles include Beni ouarain carpets and vintage handira - it's all about pattern and texture! 🖤link in bio
