Villa Laba

A house like a whisper – Villa Laba is located on a hill above the Atlantic Ocean, with sweeping views of Sidi Kaouki and the open sea. As soon as you arrive, you can sense that this place is different: quiet, minimalist, and deeply rooted in its surroundings. The Berber spirit permeates the rooms, the materials, shapes, and colors, which need no explanation and yet tell a whole story. Filippa Knutsson, founder of Filippa K., and her partner Thomas Fourtané have created a refuge here that feels like a vacation and a home at the same time. Nine individually designed rooms are spread throughout the house, each simple, warm, and with a strong connection to the landscape. At night, there is no electricity, only candlelight, darkness, and a sky full of stars that compels you to rest. The views are sheltered from the wind, with the Atlantic Ocean always present without being loud. The kitchen works with fire, time, and sensitivity, serving local, honest, and flavorful food. Villa Laba is not a place for distraction, but for arrival. Those seeking the quiet, unspoiled, and yet luxurious Morocco will want to stay here—longer than planned.
