I am not familiar with Samanah Country Club, but I am very familiar with the road that it is on. This road is fast becoming popular with both private land purchase and major development and hence more expensive. Samanah is approx a 20 minute car ride to town on a very easy and well maintained road. (The King likes to jet ski on the Lac to which this road leads, hence it's maintenance). People who purchase and reside in such developments do go into town to restaurants, clubs, etc., they do not confine themselves to their development. And yes, people who do purchase and reside in developments do often have the same style houses as some of their neighbours so I have no idea what Octanorm is going on about regarding individuality and being ashamed of having friends see that your villa is identical to your neighbours. If this is a concern, then private land purchase and the building of one's own villa is required, not development purchase.

There are many luxury developments being developed throughout Marrakech. Samanah is not the most prestigious, but it is certainly the largest. If one is able, no matter what development they purchase in, holding on to full completion when all amenities are fully up and running should produce the greatest capital gain. When purchasing in a development, one should think of one's lifestyle before thinking of potential capital gains. If capital gains is what it is all about, then one should buy land and build their own villa for resale as this will/should produce greater capital gains.
