The structure, with its unmistakable shade of cobalt, was first owned by the artist Jacques Majorelle, and was later purchased by Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé in the ’80s, eventually becoming one of the city’s most popular sights. Also inside the house is the Berber Arts Museum, which showcases Berber artifacts, clothing, and jewelry from all around Morocco, all of which served to inspire Saint Laurent across the decades.
And if that experience inspires you to do some shopping of your own, there are plenty of boutiques in the nearby area. My favorite was Moro, a concept store with a directional edit of clothing, jewelry, perfume, and other artifacts, where I purchased a gold choker with two rams at the center. (Another piece to wear on my wedding weekend? The jury’s still out.)
The final night was—bar none—the most romantic experience of the trip. Taking a 45-minute drive out to the Agafay desert at sunset to have cocktails at Inara Camp overlooking the Atlas mountains, our tent and campfire were nothing short of magical. “This would be a good place to propose,” I joked to Don as we were escorted to our area. We snacked on olives and briouat while watching the sunset. It felt like the kind of impossibly romantic setup you might see on The Bachelor, only more glamorous. I could have stayed there forever. (And in theory, I actually could have, as Inara has rooms where you can stay overnight in addition to the restaurant setup). We then returned to Marrakech for our last experience: dinner and a belly dancing show at Le Comptoir Darna, ending with us heading upstairs at the restaurant to smoke some apple shisha, drink mint tea, and dance. Ah—the romance!
