Villa Mabrouka, the love nest of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergè in Tangier is a garden oasis on the outskirts of the Kasbah and a master class in how to evoke the elegance of yesteryear. Staying in one of the twelve suites and rooms feels like being invited to an intimate gathering in a private home, where it wouldn't be surprising to find the famous American socialite and Tangier resident, Barbara Hutton or Somerset Maugham, eating boiled eggs in silver cups at the white linen table. There are no books or photographs of YSL anywhere. Dar Mabrouka was not only the site of the happy marriage of "Yves and Pierre", but also that of European modernism and Moroccan architecture. Mabrouka means "blessed" and so is the position of the white house hidden behind the Kasbah gate, across a Moroccan courtyard, in a charming secret garden. Everything is refreshed by the sea breeze and filled with an airy lightness.
