A house, a host, and days arranged entirely around you.

We find the house, shape the days and receive you as you would wish, from the first letter to the last morning.

A note on how we work

The most memorable stays are quiet ones: everything thought of, and none of it on show.

The Stay

Wherever you arrive, you are expected.

The house

Chosen for how it lives, not how it photographs.

II
The welcome

The kitchen stocked to your habits, the arrival planned the way you prefer.

The days

Drivers, boats and tables, arranged at your pace.

The details

What you mentioned once, remembered.
What we do

The same care, beyond the stay.

Maison Privée

For those who would like one house to look after their travel, year after year.

Private Hospitality

Your own house kept, and your guests looked after, while you are away.

Private Hospitality
From the founder

“I grew up in houses where guests were never guests for long. Someone would take your coat, pour you something cold, and by evening you had a favourite chair. Maison Aladdin offers that feeling wherever you are, at the distance of a phone call.”

A last day in Cairo

I was on the wrong side of the desert and very nearly said no.

Houses

Keeping a house you rarely see

For owners abroad: how a house is opened, aired and readied, so that it never feels closed.
