Jawhar Estate Marrakech, Morocco

The Jawhar Estate is part of a planned new luxury district in the Menara area of Marrakech and is being undertaken by development and investment specialist Aerium Atlas Management and will be managed by renowned hotel operator Monte-Carlo SBM. In November 2009, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco officiated at the launch of the Jawhar Estate in Morocco. Scheduled to open in late 2011, the 14 hectare Jawhar Estate (Jawhar means "Jewel" in Arabic), uniquely located in the heart of Marrakech, provides 25 private residences, a 93 all-suite 5-star hotel (Monte-Carlo SBM's first resort outside of Monaco), a top gastronomic restaurant and a Wellness Centre and Spa; the latter drives the character and offering of Jawhar and will adroitly position the resort as the key destination in the rapidly growing global "healthcare tourism" market.

The resort's overall design is provided by luxury resort specialists HKS Hill Glazier Studio who are working with Sybille de Margerie of the well known parisian interior design company SM Design, for the hotel interiors; Amanda Rosa Interiors for the spa interiors; France's foremost landscape design practice Jean Mus et Compagnie; spa operator ESpA and world renowned Jacques Grange who will design the interiors of the 25 private residences. These unique residences will marry elements of the classic Moroccan home with the latest state-of-the-art entertainment and security systems required for 21 st century living. Features will include a media room, gymnasium, hammam, home office, swimming pool, staff accommodation, garage and automatic landscape irrigation for the gardens.

Prices for the private residences in the Jawhar Estate will range from $3 million to $9 million
