This is exotic Morocco-meets-Zanzibar architecture, the stuff of Arabian nights: pointed arches, carved doors, shady courtyards, antique furniture, lofty ceilings with teak beams and coconut thatch. They sit among swaying palms and private sand gardens, with rope sun-loungers and monumental day-beds set on bougainvillea-shaded pedestals.
