The sleek Moroccan villa that featured prominently in the James Bond film Spectre is now on the market, offering buyers a rare opportunity to own a piece of cinematic history. Tucked away in the lush palm groves of Marrakech, the ultra-modern residence served as a striking backdrop for several scenes in the 2015 installment of the iconic spy franchise directed by Sam Mendes.
Known as Dar Bianca, the home spans more than 6,800 square feet and sits on nearly four acres of landscaped gardens. Designed by Imaad Rahmouni, a French-Algerian architect and longtime collaborator of Philippe Starck, the villa is a bold expression of minimalist architecture. Concrete, steel, and vast panes of glass come together in a structure that feels at once raw and refined, merging clean, angular lines with the natural beauty of the surrounding vegetation.
Inside, the house offers five bedrooms, three of which feature en-suite bathrooms. The expansive living room flows seamlessly onto a wide terrace and private pool, while a bright, modern kitchen anchors the living space. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the home dissolve the boundary between inside and out, drawing the eye toward the garden and creating a constant interplay with the outdoors.
Perhaps the most unique feature is the towering palm tree that rises directly through the roof, a deliberate architectural choice that blurs the line between nature and design. Though the home could benefit from some updates, its character and potential remain undeniable. According to luxury real estate firm John Taylor, which is handling the sale, the property was crafted for lovers of modern design—those drawn to both the elegance of clean architecture and the relaxed rhythm of life in Marrakech.
Listed at €2.5 million, the villa is clearly aimed at an international clientele—buyers looking for more than just a home, but a one-of-a-kind retreat that blends artistic vision with the timeless allure of the Moroccan landscape.
