Pillow Talk
We loved the apartment suite in the Garden House with its rolltop bath, huge living area and 12m glass wall opening onto a balcony with views of waterfalls and the High Atlas. There is also a beautiful Junior suite with its own private Berber lounge and terrace.

Alcohol is not served out of respect for local tradition, but you are welcome to bring your own.

Breakfast times are relaxed – just let your hosts know when you'd like to eat. Delicious options include Moroccan pancakes served with local honey.

See & Do

See & Do
You’ll have every chance to explore the Atlas mountains and scenic Toubkal National Park during your stay, with a choice of easy, moderate and strenuous hikes. These range from an easy 45-minute walking tour of local villages to a tough guided ascent of Jbel Toubkal, North Africa’s highest peak. Many include picnic lunches. Not into hiking? Book a camel ride, catch up with your books on the rooftop balconies, wallow in the hammam, play chess or snap those mountain vistas.

Spa
Book a private hammam session to feel squeaky clean and super-relaxed.
