Pearl Suite

Pearl is a light-filled suite conceived by Meryanne as a counterpoint to the more earth-toned spaces elsewhere on the property. While it offers the same level of comfort, space, and privacy, including its own private pool, Pearl is defined by a palette of whites and pale tones, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, open, and luminous.

Throughout the suite, Meryanne has placed a small collection of old books and artworks that have followed her for many years. Several of the prints predate the birth of her daughter, Thaïs, and were once displayed in a Paris apartment where the family lived at the time. Found through an antique dealer at the Paris flea market, these pieces have moved with her over the years and now form part of Pearl’s story. An old European piece of furniture sourced in Tangier adds another layer of character, alongside a painting by Philippe Deltour.

Subtle references to travel appear throughout the room, most notably in a large trunk inlaid with camel bone and wood. In the main bedroom, a blanket from northern Morocco sits beneath a series of drawings and prints by Delacroix. Meryanne chose these works in recognition of Delacroix’s deep and lasting connection to Morocco. Pillows from northern Morocco, bedside tables conceived as a modern interpretation of traditional woodwork, and Syrian lamps inlaid with mother-of-pearl complete the composition.

The bathrooms are finished in light-toned marble, maintaining the overall sense of brightness, with alabaster vases repurposed as lamps. One distinctive feature of Pearl is the height of the beds, a deliberate choice by Meryanne, inspired by hotels she enjoys in London. Beyond comfort, the elevated beds allow for generous built-in storage beneath, encouraging a tidy and uncluttered space.

The second bedroom continues the same spirit, with a bedspread from Togo and framed prints representing Cairo. These prints were part of Meryanne’s parents’ first home in Morocco in the 1980s and were later sourced again through an antique dealer in the south of France. All artworks and prints are framed locally in Marrakech, reinforcing the sense of continuity, movement, and personal history that defines Pearl.
