Villa Maroc in Prachuap Khiri Khan
Thailand is a tropical country where we experience high temperatures through almost every season, even in the “winter”.
Since the weather is hot all year-round, travelling to breezy beaches is one of the best ways to help us stay cool and prevent our bodies from producing too much heat.
If you’re not sure which beach paradise to escape to over the upcoming holidays, Villa Maroc in Prachuap Khiri Khan, a Moroccan-themed resort with multicolored rooms, should be at the top of your list.
Here’s why paying a visit at such an attraction can elevate your travel experience to the next level.

The Riad-inspired resort is painted in vivid colors and has Moroccan-style architecture that will temporarily disconnect you from the Land of Smiles – making you feel as though you were in a multi-ethnic retreat where different cultures interweave.

When entering the hotel, you can notice that the walls are inlaid with mosaic and the floors are patterned with decorative tiles. The lobby also has tiny fountains surrounded by lanterns that are considered to be outstanding features of the resort.

Villa Maroc features six room types including: Pool Court ฿3,900 (~USD115.73), Pool Villa ฿6,900 (~USD204.75), One-Bedroom Villa ฿6,900 (~USD204.75), Two-Bedroom Villa ฿8,500 (~USD252.23), Royal Villa 1 ฿10,000 (~USD296.65), and Royal Villa 2 ฿12,000 (~USD355.98).
We highly recommend the Pool Courts or Pool Villas, as these two room types are the closest you can get to Morocco on a budget.

The former room’s interior is inspired by Riads, traditional Moroccan houses, whose doors and windows are covered with tiles.

Located in a two-storey building, the Pool Court is decorated and contrasting-yet-complimentary blue and white tones – offering a deeply relaxing ambiance that’ll encourage you to leave all your worries behind.

The similarly-decorated Pool Villa is divided into two storeys. The downstairs features an outdoor relaxing corner where different shades of pink are well harmonised with the garden; while the upstairs section boasts panoramic views of the sea from inside of the room.
