Comfort & Dining:
Enjoy the cliff-side terrace, nestled in palm trees, overlooking La Punta Marina. Gather around the poolside bar, soak up some sun and relax.
A voluptuous “Sultan's Couch” fills the domed living area, from which you look down the full length of the pool, to a rocky ledge where water flows in a magnificent 20-foot waterfall into a pond in the orchard below. At each side of the pool, looking over the cascade, are two stone renditions of the winged Pegasus.
Architecture is everything in this palace. The comfortable gathering area is designed to evoke both lively conversation and contemplative meditation. You’ll feel as if you’ve entered a sacred retreat of leisure, reminiscent of the spas of antiquity.
Beyond the central terrace are octagonal dining and entertainment rooms. Three sets of French doors give the dining room a light and airy ambience. Enjoy the magnificent view through one set of doors, and the sparkling aqua pool through another.

Casa Arabia’s suites are divided into east and west wings and ensure optimum privacy. The east wing tower houses the spectacular crow’s nest suite along with the regal Master Suite
The luxurious Master Suite is adorned with an inset shell sculpture and a dressing table lit by a Baccarat chandelier. The opulent bath includes a sunken marble tub and a large marble shower while overhead is another lovely brick domed ceiling.

Neiman Marcus features Casa Arabia in the latest Spring Catalog:
While surfing the web for an opulent and luxurious Moroccan style villa for the 2003 Spring Shoe and Handbag Catalogue, the Art Director of Neiman Marcus came across Casa Arabia.
“The catalogue turned out to be our favorite one yet,” she told the staff of Casa Arabia when the catalogue was complete.
Making use of the natural beauty of the villa’s architecture, the hand painted detail, and the lavish interior design, Neiman Marcus’ photographers and designers were able to capture an unprecedented elegance in their spring catalogue.
