We were a party of 20, and our very generous host had taken the whole property over for his guests for his wife’s 40th birthday, from Thursday to Monday at the end of January.

A group of friends together is probably the only way to get the full benefit of the Dar Iman, which is very well staffed, and so there is the total house party atmosphere where you can let your hair down, and nobody worries.

Our room was simple, very comfortable, with small ensuite, all more than adequate for a long weekend. The living areas were vast, very comfortable with an enormous terrace looking out onto a large lawn, and a big swimming pool which was freezing. It may be north Africa, but it is winter with very cool evenings, cold nights, and only hot when the sun shines.

The whole place is totally private, and so much so, you’d never find it on your own.

It is literally down a very bumpy dirt track about twenty minutes from the town centre, and it was very necessary to have the minibus and drivers laid on for our entire stay. You couldn’t get in and out of Marrakech without some form of chauffered transport.

The whole weekend was beautifully managed, with a birthday banquet preceded by folk entertainment, with tribesmen on horseback with muskets in the garden, and a fireater.

Then the courtyard had been transformed into the Medina with acrobats, storytellers, dentists, henna ladies, fortune tellers, snake charmers, you name it and it was there – just fantastic.

The banquet was totally Moroccan, and the whole thing had the backdrop of the magnificent Dar Iman.

Highly recommended.

There are numerous sea shore environments that have been transformed into comfortable tourist spots in the island. Some of the most well known spots are Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Petitenget and Canggu. Bali Beach Villas in these areas offer their guests quick access to the white sand. One can ask for information from a Bali Villa Rental to make sure that the distance from a certain resort will not be too far from these sea shore environment. However, Bali Villas for Rent which are located rather further from the sea shore usually also have convenient access to the spots because reliable roads had been developed by the local government.

However, further consideration is still necessary. One should list one’s needs and ask for a confirmation from the Bali Villa Rental for facilities like children friendly facilities and residence for seniors and disabled people. Staying in Bali Beach Villas will be perfect if such facilities can be ensured since before the departure. For travelers with special health problems like asthma or allergy, asking for the presence of health facilities nearest to the Bali Villas for Rent should be a first time measure. Some of these places have employed a special doctor and health care staffs though.

To make sure that the culinary needs are satisfied when they are staying at their Bali Beach Villas, it is wise for them to obtain reliable information about the aspect. Travelers should ask a Bali Villa Rental whether the service will include breakfast, launch and dinner package or not. Most of the Bali Villas for Rent are providing these services though, but it does not mean that guests cannot have the chance to try the local and international culinary culture which is present abundantly in the island. For this purpose, one should try and explore the lines of places to eat in the luxurious Seminyak area or the sea side restaurants at Jimbaran.

Of course travelers should not put the sea shore environment as the sole destination even when they are staying in one of the Bali Beach Villas. The island is too rich with other amazing spots too dear to neglect. That is why they have to ask the Bali Villa Rental service about the access to inland spots like Ubud, Bedugul or the enchanting Monkey Forest. Most Bali Villas for Rent are located near to the major roads that lead to those inland destinations though so that a journey can be done easily.
